Thus, syslinux.cfg is now a generic name, whereas isolinux.cfg or extlinux.conf is specific to different derivatives. + - chain.c32: support setting alternate config filename for stage2 of GRUB Legacy (Gert Hulselmans). + - whichsys.c32: execute a specific command, based on the 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). + +- Changes in 4.01 + + - 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 Manager 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. + - 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. + +- Changes in 4.00 + + - Major code base changes; all filesystem rewritten in C. This work was done primarily by Liu Aleaxander (Yuanhan Liu). + - 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, so 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. + * Sat Dec 19 2009 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.84-1 - update to release 3.84 - SYSLINUX: make the DOS installer work for MS-DOS 7.x/8.x (Win9x/ME) again.
