I know everyone is itching to test out another prerelease, and there's
been quite a lot of activity since the last one. The shortlog is
appended below.
The feedback from testing the previous prereleases has been really
constructive, so thanks to everyone for that. That feedback has been
addressed in some of the commits listed below, but it's not all bug
fixes, we've also got some new features and modules, such as Shao's new
hexdump.c32 module and initrdfile= support for the linux.c32 module, as
well as strerror cleanups from Gene (we've now got a *decent* strerror()
implementation).
This won't be the last 5.00 prerelease as we're aware of a resource leak
bug and there's a couple of items on my TODO list that I wanted to
implement before the final 5.00 release (merging the linux.c32 module
and ldlinux kernel loading code for one). But I don't want to drag these
prereleases out forever, so if you are able to test please do so.
