Finally, the 4.06 release is out there. Thanks to everyone who helped by
submitting patches and testing! Peter snuck in a change at the last
minute that fixes the GCC 4.7 MinGW struct layout incompatibility in a
different way.
Here are the highlights of this release,
Changes in 4.06:
* Support for NTFS, by Paulo Alcantara.
* EXTLINUX: more robust device detection, allow user to override.
* kontron_wdt.c32: Add a new module to enable the hardware
watchdog of some Kontron boards. It allows enabling the watchdog
and then booting a given image.
* HDT updated, and now can display images regarding some detection
steps. Add postexec command to run a particular entry after
HDT's execution, add silent option and various fixes.
* ifcpu.c32: Detect hypervisor presence.
* lua.c32: Add dhcp support and support for native Syslinux
functions syslinux_config(), syslinux_ipappend_strings() and
syslinux_reboot().
* isohybrid: Workaround for various EFI systems.
* pxechn.c32, a PXE NBP chainloader. More versatile alternative
to pxechain.com and resolves the PXELINUX -> WDS issue with
Microsoft Windows Server 2008R2 (Gene Cumm).
* btrfs: Fix booting off of a subvolume.
* com32: Add device tree support.
* SYSLINUX: Fix relative paths for VFAT. The CONFIG and APPEND
directives now support entirely relative paths.
