Tue Apr 19 14:00:00 2011 snwintAATTsuse.de
- update to version 4.04

* PXELINUX: Fix handling of unqualified DNS names.

* PXELINUX: Fix timer bug when PXELINUX might be unloaded
(Gene Cumm).

* core/writedec.inc: Fix duplicate declaration and overflow
(Gene Cumm).

* GCC 4.5 fixes.

* sample directory: Fix Makefile include (Gene Cumm).

* ver.com: New universal DOS/COMBOOT application to display
version information (includes DRMK) (Gene Cumm).

* rosh.c32: updated; Using getopt() for internal commands to aid
parsing options; Fix bugs in ls; add warm reboot and echo
(Gene Cumm).

* com32: fix a file descriptor leak.

* gfxboot.c32: handle TEXT..ENDTEXT; error out on no LABELs
found (Sebastian Herbszt).

* Fix booting on non-partitioned devices.

* MBR, isohybrid: Workaround for a BIOS issue on Acer
Travelmate and possibly other machines.

* COM32: Adding ACPI parsing libary

* HDT: Release 0.4.1 to support ACPI parsing,
improved mutli-core/cpu reporting

* LUA: Updating to 5.1.4-2

* SYSLINUX: core/diskstart.inc: Reset DS after checksum in case
it isn\'t 0 (Gene Cumm).

* win64: Script update for additional mingw compiler names
(Gene Cumm).

* diag: New directory for diagnostic-related tools. Add a
handoff MBR/VBR and geometry display images (Gene Cumm).

* MEMDISK: use \"mem=\" parameter to mark available memory above
this point as reserved (core already does alignment) (Gene Cumm).

* MEMDISK: Additional disk probe checks and debug output
(Shao Miller, Gene Cumm).

* gpxe: add gpxelinuxk.0, based off of undionly.kpxe + new
script (Gene Cumm).

* isohybrid: install the isohdpfx
*.bin/isohdppx
*.bin files to
make isohybrid images in one step with GNU xorriso.

* PXELINUX: disable a hack that would make localboot work on
some machines, but break just about as many. Some machines
which worked with \"localboot 0\" in previous versions may
need \"localboot -1\" in this one. If you have a machine
which requires \"localboot -1\", a copy of the dmidecode
or sysdump output would be appreciated.

* Include a set of diagnostics by Gene Cumm.

* Fixes for gcc 4.6 and binutils 2.21.51.

* chain.c32: Allow \"uuid\" as a synonym to \"guid\".

* Handle directory names starting with .. for vfat and
iso9660.

* New MENU HIDDENKEY command to provide a one-keystroke way to
activate a boot option from a hidden menu intro screen.

Mon Apr 18 14:00:00 2011 snwintAATTsuse.de
- update to version 4.03

* Major code base changes; all filesystem rewritten in C.
This work was done primarily by Liu Aleaxander (Yuanhan Liu).

* Better support for booting from MBRs which don\'t pass
handover information.

* EXTLINUX: Try to be smarter about finding the partition
offset.

* chain.c32: support chainloading Dell Real Mode Kernel (Gene
Cumm).

* chain.c32: fix booting in CHS mode.

* Fix the -s option to the syslinux/extlinux installer (Arwin
Vosselman).

* isohybrid: fix padding of large images (PJ Pandit).

* SYSLINUX: correctly handle the case where the -d option is
specified with a non-absolute path, i.e. \"syslinux -d
syslinux\" instead of \"syslinux -d /syslinux\".

* ISOLINUX: recognize the directory names /boot/syslinux and
/syslinux, and the filename syslinux.cfg in addition to the
isolinux-specific names. Thus, \"syslinux.cfg\" is now a
generic name, whereas \"isolinux.cfg\" or \"extlinux.conf\" is
specific to different derivative.

* chain.c32: support setting alternate config filename for
stage2 of GRUB Legacy (Gert Hulselmans).

* whichsys.c32: execute specific command, based on Syslinux
bootloader variant (Gert Hulselmans).

* lua.c32: a lot of new bindings added to the \"syslinux\"
namespace: VESA, PCI, DMI, kernel loading (Marcel Ritter).

* btrfs: print a comprehensive error message if compressed or
encrypted files are encountered (neither is currently
supported.)

* SYSLINUX: mtools installer: honor TMPDIR, error out on disk
full.

* Handle fallbacks from EDD to CHS, to deal with systems which
announce EDD support but don\'t actually have it.

* SYSLINUX: the mtools, DOS and win32 installers now use the new
command line options.

* PXELINUX: fix the use of IP addresses in TFTP :: or tftp://
host syntax.

* SYSLINUX: experimental Win64 installer (syslinux64.exe).

* ISOLINUX: fix initialization on systems which don\'t zero
low memory.

* SYSLINUX/EXTLINUX: fix handing of disk read retries in
EDD mode.

* ISOLINUX: change the initialization sequence to avoid
problems with certain (old) BIOSes. Special thanks to
Helmut Hullen for invaluable debugging support.

* ifplop.c32: new module which detects if the PLoP Boot Loader
already has booted a CDROM or USB drive (Gert Hulselmans).

* Correct a severe memory overwrite bug, triggered primarily
when selecting a very long command line in the menu system.

* lua.c32: Lua script interpreter, currently experimental
(Alexey Zaytsev, Marcel Ritter, Geert Stappers).

* PXELINUX: new option IPAPPEND 4 to append the system UUID to
the kernel command line.

* PXELINUX: display BOOTIF and SYSUUID at startup time, and
when Ctrl-N is pressed on the command line.

* EXTLINUX: btrfs and ext4 support. btrfs support was done by
Alek Du of Intel.

* EXTLINUX is no longer a separate derivative; extlinux and
syslinux both install the same loader (ldlinux.sys); for the
Linux-based installers the extlinux binary is used for a
mounted filesystem; the syslinux binary for an unmounted
filesystem.

* When loading a new configuration file with the CONFIG
command, one can now also specify a new current directory
with an APPEND statement.

* Full ADV support for Syslinux, to boot-once and MENU SAVE
works.

* Full support of GPT-partitioned disks, including disks
and/or parititions larger than 2 TiB (if supported by BIOS.)

* The GPT handover protocol adjusted to the current T13
committee draft; see doc/gpt.txt.

* HDT: code cleanup, small bugfixes

* The \"linux\" syslinux installer (syslinux-nomtools) now has a
command-line syntax closer to the extlinux installer. The
mtools, dos and win32 installers will get this new syntax
eventually, but it is not implemented yet.

* chain.c32: support booting GPT partitions by index, GUID, label.

* chain.c32: support booting the Syslinux partition with \"fs\".

* chain.c32: implement gpt.txt hand-over protocol.

* chain.c32: support for chainloading Grub stage 2.

* PXELINUX: TFTP URL syntax (tftp://) supported even when not
running gPXE/gpxelinux.

* New ls.c32 module to display the contents of the disk from
the command line, and pwd.c32 to display the current
directory.

* rosh.c32 (read only shell) updated and hopefully usable.

* PXELINUX: Support \"localboot -1\", just like the other
derivatives.

* gfxboot.com removed in favor of gfxboot.c32.

* New MENU HELP statement to display fullscreen help text as a
result of a menu selection.

* memdiskfind utility that can be used with the phram driver
in the Linux kernel to mount a memdisk.

* ifcpu.c32: Adding usage when no parameters are given,
adding PAE support.

* ifcpu.c32, ifcpu64.c32: handle more than one argument per
target.

* isohybrid: C version which does not require Perl.

* New command MENU IMMEDIATE to permit hotkeys to activate
immediately without needing Enter.

* mdiskchk.com supports a --no-sequential (or -n) option to
suppress the classic all-drive-probing heuristic. Useful
on BIOSes who crash/hang when certain drive numbers are
probed.

* ElTorito.Sys DOS driver now scans drive numbers upwards
instead of downwards, in order to avoid a fairly common
bug on some BIOSes where probing drive 0xFF causes a
failure.

Tue Apr 27 14:00:00 2010 snwintAATTsuse.de
- drop obsolete gfxboot.com

Mon Apr 19 14:00:00 2010 snwintAATTsuse.de
- fix menu label handling

Fri Apr 16 14:00:00 2010 snwintAATTsuse.de
- gfxboot.c32:

* fix LOCALBOOT (bnc #592779)

* better error handling

Thu Apr 8 14:00:00 2010 snwintAATTsuse.de
- update to version 3.86

* chain.c32: fix chainloading the MBR of a hard disk (broken
in 3.85).

* mboot.c32: report the boot loader name in the information
structure.

* com32: set argv[0] in a com32 module.

* core: add a workaround for a bug in Xen HVM older than
version 3.3: disable halt on those platforms.

* Fix problems where certain operations in com32 modules would
cause the core to believe the system was idle.

* MEMDISK: fix MBR detection when used with a DOSEMU header or
an offset.

* MEMDISK: generate the mBFT checksum correctly.

* gPXELINUX: updated to gPXE 1.0.0. gPXELINUX can now do NBP
chainloading, and does not require a second DHCP.

* vesamenu.c32: unbreak the default \"grey hole\" background.

* We no longer have a built-in default of \"linux auto\".
Instead, if no DEFAULT or UI statement is found, or the
configuration file is missing entirely, we drop to the boot:
prompt with an error message (if NOESCAPE is set, we stop
with a \"boot failed\" message; this is also the case for
PXELINUX if the configuration file is not found.)

* chain.c32: support chainloading Grub4DOS; patch by Gert
Hulselmans.

* New tool: sysdump.c32, can be used to produce system
information for debugging via tftp or ymodem (serial port).

* \"vga=current\" on the Linux command line is now supported.

* chain.c32: support for Windows Recovery Console, via the
\"cmldr=\" option.

* chain.c32: should now support loading NTLDR from different
type media than loaded from.

* chain.c32: support chainloading to a FAT/NTFS partition with
invalid \"hidden sectors\" via the \"sethidden\" option.

* memdisk: fix the mBFT ACPI table.

* vesamenu.c32: if the image is smaller than the screen, tile
it across the whole screen.

* mkdiskimage: -s option for producing a sparse image.

* vesamenu.c32: support arbitrary resolution setting (beyond
BIOS support) on some Intel-based video chipsets. This code
is a modified version of the \"915resolution\" tool by
Steve Tomljenovic; your mileage might vary.

* SYSLINUX: make the DOS installer work for MS-DOS 7.x/8.x
(Win9x/ME) again.

* HDT: updated to version 0.3.6 (numerous changes.)

* mboot.c32: now supports video mode setting if requested by
the image.

* MEMDISK: Fix floppy images of PC-DOS.

* MEMDISK: Add support for emulation of CD-ROM images; patch
by Shao Miller.

* MEMDISK: Comply with the Win9x \"safe hook\" standard,
allowing a protected-mode driver.

* MEMDISK: New \"mBFT\" ACPI table, by analogy with the iSCSI
iBFT table. This allows detection from a protected-mode
operating system without EDD support.

* 32-bit version of the gfxboot loader (gfxboot.c32), so far
experimental. This will replace gfxboot.com in the future.

* vesamenu.c32: new MENU RESOLUTION directive to set a screen
resolution other than 640x480.

* chain.c32: add support for loading isolinux.bin.

* chain.c32: make sure to always return to text mode.

* eltorito.sys: DOS driver for generic CD-ROMs; by Gary Tong
and Bart Lagerweij.

Mon Nov 16 13:00:00 2009 snwintAATTsuse.de
- fix chdir() call

Thu Oct 29 13:00:00 2009 snwintAATTsuse.de
- add gfxboot.c32

Mon Oct 19 14:00:00 2009 snwintAATTsuse.de
- get kernel size right

Mon Oct 19 14:00:00 2009 snwintAATTsuse.de
- set correct timeout value
- localboot should return to text mode

Thu Oct 15 14:00:00 2009 snwintAATTsuse.de
- update to version 3.83

* PXELINUX: clear memory before handing over to a chainloaded
NBP. This may help avoid a bug in Windows RIS.

* PXELINUX: fix localboot after NBP chainloading on certain
BIOSes (including ASUS A8N-E, but possibly others.)

* chain.c32: support chainloaded bootloaders on ISOLINUX.

* PXELINUX: allow filenames up to 251 characters.

* MEMDISK: fix problems booting from USB on Thinkpads, and
possibly other machines or hardware combinations.

* HDT: updated to version 0.3.4.

* MEMDISK: the stack size is now configurable, with the stack=
option.

* Simple menu: fix Ctrl-W (word erase) in command-line edit.

* Simple menu: fix crash on some platforms.

* PXELINUX: add a tool to override specific DHCP options via
values hardcoded in the pxelinux.0 file. These hardcoded
values can be either \"before DHCP\" (defaults if DHCP do not
provide values), or \"after DHCP\" (overrides DHCP). The tool
pxelinux-options can be used to set these options. This
feature does not apply to gpxelinux.0; when used with gPXE
this is better handled by modifying the embedded script.

Mon Oct 5 14:00:00 2009 snwintAATTsuse.de
- if first memory area is too small, use largest (bnc #469889, bnc #507952)

Tue Aug 25 14:00:00 2009 snwintAATTsuse.de
- fix argv setup (bnc #530255)

Fri Aug 7 14:00:00 2009 snwintAATTsuse.de
- replaced gfxboot.com with an enhanced version

Tue Aug 4 14:00:00 2009 snwintAATTsuse.de
- fix isohybrid -id

Wed Jun 10 14:00:00 2009 snwintAATTsuse.de
- update to version 3.82

* Lots of bug fixes.

* Simple menu: make ONTIMEOUT work with MENU HIDDEN.

* PXELINUX: handle TFTP servers which have extra NULs at the
end of an OACK packet.

* Attempt to halt the processor while idle. This can cause
bad reponsiveness when using a serial console especially for
automated input; if that ends up being a problem, use the
new \"NOHALT 1\" configuration command.

* isohybrid: fix the -partok logic for loading from a partition.

* isohybrid: add a variety of options, and a help message.

* isohybrid: fix problem with images over 2 GB in size.

* ISOLINUX: fix booting in hybrid mode when CBIOS is used.
This unfortunately means that the isohybrid handoff protocol
has changed, so the isohybrid utility must version-match
isolinux.bin.

* Don\'t hang trying to boot a \"menu quit\" label from the CLI.

* Fix problem with boot-once \"sticking\" on some BIOSes.

Wed Apr 22 14:00:00 2009 snwintAATTsuse.de
- gfxboot: usage has changed; see README.gfxboot for details
- update to version 3.75

* Lots of bug fixes.

* New UI directive, which allows a more natural way to specify
a menu system (or not.) With the UI directive specifying
the menu system, the DEFAULT directive can be used to select
the default entry inside the menus.

* kbdmap.c32: new module to load a new keyboard map
dynamically.

* Suppress the Loading ... message if \"quiet\" is specified on
the kernel command line.

* MBR: produce alternate MBR variants which force the drive
number to hd0 (_f variants), or force the drive number to
hd0 if the Ctrl key is pressed (_c variants.) Furthermore,
add an MBR variant (altmbr
*.bin) which ignores the active
flag and instead boots the partition number specified in the
byte at offset 439 decimal.

* Add IPAPPEND strings to com32 modules, especially needed for
linux.c32.

* New MENU SAVE directive which saves the latest menu
selection until the next boot. Currently only implemented for
EXTLINUX.

* gfxboot.com:
*experimental
* interface module to Steffen
Winterfeldt\'s \"gfxboot\" graphical front end
(http://gfxboot.sourceforge.net/). Module by Sebastian Herbszt.

* config.c32: trivial COM32 module to restart Syslinux with
another configuration file from the command line (equivalent
to the CONFIG command in the configuratin file.)

* Include the pxechain.com module from Jeffery Hutzelman at
Carnegie Mellon University. This allows chaining another
PXE boot program while changing the DHCP packet passed to
it.

* ISOLINUX: support generating images which can be either
a CD-ROM or a hard disk (USB disk, etc.) See
doc/isolinux.txt for more information.

* Tab display of labels, based on a patch from Sebastian
Herbszt. Can be disabled with the NOCOMPLETE configuration
command.

* Optionally allow initrd to be specified on a separate line
rather than as part of the \"append\" line. This is not
recommended, but apparently makes life easier for some
tools.

* chain.c32: lots of new options added

* ifcpu64.c32: simple COM32 module to select a 32- or 64-bit
kernel (and optionally 32-bit kernels with or without PAE.)
Eventually we want a scripting language for this
kind of stuff; a Lua module is under development.

* PXELINUX: Support enhanced capabilities when running on top
of gPXE (http://www.etherboot.org/). In particular, support
URL-style syntax for filenames, and any protocol that gPXE
supports (except, currently, iSCSI and AoE.) This feature
is currently highly experimental.

* SYSLINUX: VFAT long filename support.

* Add an experimental MBR for GPT partition tables.
