Hi all,
I have pushed out Syslinux 4.00-pre20, which includes support for
running out of a new working directory: if a directory is given on the
append line to a "config" statement, that will now be considered the new
working directory.
The "pathbased" branch is now the active development branch for Syslinux 4.
With this checkin, I now expect that the major restructuring work in the
Syslinux 4 is mostly done. There are, of course, still be little bits
we'd like to fix here and there, but I don't expect any more major
rewrites on this branch before release.
What is more important now is that we smoke out the bugs and make this
usable. I already know one major bug, which is that NBP chainloading in
pxelinux is currently totally broken.
In the meantime, work will continue on Syslinux 5 (elflink) and onward.
