Hello everyone,
I have released SYSLINUX 2.01. It's almost identical to 2.01-pre5, but
I figured it was time to get it out the door, especially since I won't
have time to work on it for the next few weeks.
Changes in 2.01:
* MEMDISK: Fix memory sizing bug when the ramdisk crosses the
16 MB boundary.
* MEMDISK: Add a "pause" option to stop immediately before
booting, to read off the messages.
* MEMDISK: Support disk images with DOSEMU headers.
* Update the mkdiskimage script to handle newer mtools
versions, and be able to generate disk images with DOSEMU
headers (controlled by the -d option).
* Fix the COM32 sample program.
* PXELINUX, ISOLINUX: Fix some COMBOOT API calls.
* PXELINUX: Doc fix.
* Build SYSLINUX into a small library for encapsulation into
other programs (however, please keep in mind this is a GPL'd
library.)
* SYSLINUX: Make installer work with "owner" in /etc/fstab.
* SYSLINUX: Fix issue with working on nonpartitioned hard disk
devices. THIS CONFIGURATION IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
