Tue Apr 19 10:48:40 CEST 2011 - snwint@suse.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 17:35:01 CEST 2011 - snwint@suse.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.

  * fix LOCALBOOT (bnc #592779)
  * better error handling

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr  8 16:54:00 CEST 2010 - snwint@suse.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.

- set correct timeout value
- localboot should return to text mode

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Oct 15 12:02:56 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.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 13:44:54 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de

- if first memory area is too small, use largest (bnc #469889, bnc #507952)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Aug 25 15:53:39 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de

- fix argv setup (bnc #530255)

- replaced gfxboot.com with an enhanced version

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Aug  4 10:49:19 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.de

- fix isohybrid -id

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 10 11:59:54 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.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 12:54:53 CEST 2009 - snwint@suse.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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 14 11:13:31 CEST 2008 - snwint@suse.de

- update to version 3.63
   * Lots of bug fixes.
   * Handle command lines up to 2047 characters, the current
     Linux kernel limit.
   * Support MD5, SHA256 and SHA512 encrypted passwords.
   * MEMDISK: Turn on EDD support by default.
   * Add a new INCLUDE command to the core syslinux parser.
   * It is now supported to load a different configuration file
     with the CONFIG keyword.
   * MENU AUTOBOOT, MENU TABMSG, MENU PASSPROMPT allows
     internationalization of menu messages.
   * New hierarchial submenu support: see MENU BEGIN, MENU END,
     MENU GOTO in doc/menu.txt.
   * MENU QUIT allows creating a menu entry for returning to the
     command line.
   * Simple menu system: new "MENU HIDDEN" option to not display
     the menu unless the user presses a key.
   * Add "menu separator", "menu indent", "menu disabled"
     (see README.menu).
   * SYSLINUX: Support subdirectories.
   * PXELINUX: Press Ctrl-N at the boot prompt to read out the
     network info.
   * PXELINUX: as per RFC 5071, PXELINUX no longer requires the
     use of the magic cookie option (208) for unencapsulated
     options.  Currently it does not require it for
     vendor-encapsulated options (vendor-option-space) either,
     but that MAY be reverted in the future if it causes problems.
   * EXTLINUX: boot-once support (--once, --clear-once, and --reset-adv)
   * Support for "auxilliary data vector", a small amount of
     writable storage.  Currently only supported for EXTLINUX,
     but the infrastructure is there for the other derivatives,
     assuming a suitable storage location can be found.

     using MENU INCLUDE or by specifying multiple filenames.
   * The MENU COLOR statement can now control the shadowing mode.
   * libcom32 extended to support graphics mode and graphical console.
   * vesamenu.c32, new graphical version of the Simple
     Menu System, see README.menu.
   * New com32 modules by Erwan Velu do selection based on CPUID
     or PCI devices present.
   * EXTLINUX: New options --install (-i) and --update (-U), to
     make it clear if a boot loader should be installed or
     updated.  For now, defaults to --install for compatibility;
     a future version will require one of these options.
   * New library functions to load and place files in memory.
   * mboot.c32 bug fixes.
   * Remove 8 MB kernel size restriction.
   * PXELINUX: Fail (and eventually reboot) if no configuration
     file was found.
