Hi all,
I have released SYSLINUX 2.09; it is the same as 2.09-pre15 except for
the version number.
Changes in 2.09:
* SYSLINUX: Remove residual setuid crap from
syslinux-nomtools.
* Handle video pages correctly when using the API functions.
* Handle compiling on an x86-64 platform correctly.
* Menu system from Murali Krishnan Ganapathy; see the menu
directory for information.
* COMBOOT: Allow COMBOOT programs to change screen text mode.
* COMBOOT: Correct the documentation of how to detect
SYSLINUX from COMBOOT!!!!
* COMBOOT: Fix "get key without echo" API function.
* SYSLINUX: Fix bug that affected the API open function.
* ALL: Improve the E820 memory parser, to work around some
buggy BIOSes.
I have *also* released 2.10-pre1, which adds Patrick LoPresti's support
for zipped (as opposed to gzipped) images in MEMDISK; some Windows-based
tools apparently can handle zipped images but not gzipped, and this
makes it easier to just drop them in.
