[syslinux] Syslinux 4.00-pre20: stabilization phase begins
Hi all, I have pushed out Syslinux 4.00-pre20, which includes support for running out of a new working directory: if a directory is given on the append line to a "config" statement, that will now be considered the new working directory. The "pathbased" branch is now the active development branch for Syslinux 4. With this checkin, I now expect that the major restructuring work in the Syslinux 4 is mostly done. There are, of course, still be little bits we'd like to fix here and there, but I don't expect any more major rewrites on this branch before release. What is more important now is that we smoke out the bugs and make this usable. I already know one major bug, which is that NBP chainloading in pxelinux is currently totally broken. In the meantime, work will continue on Syslinux 5 (elflink) and onward. -hpa -- H. Peter Anvin, Intel Open Source Technology Center I work for Intel. I don't speak on their behalf.
