Hi all,

I have released SYSLINUX 2.11.  It's basically -pre3 with a few last-minute fixes.

2.11: Bug fix release.

Changes in 2.11:
         * ALL: Add an API call to get the configuration file name.
         * SYSLINUX: Fix bug in 2.10 that prevented it from working
           correctly for a lot of people.
         * SYSLINUX: In the installer, make mtools a bit less fussy.
         * Make the menu system compile with newer gcc's.

Title:          syslinux
Version:        2.11
Entered-date:   2004-08-16
Description:    SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux
                 operating system which operates off MS-DOS floppies,
                 network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs.
                 It is intended to simplify first-time installation of
                 Linux, rescue disks, and other uses for boot floppies.
                 A SYSLINUX floppy can be manipulated using standard
                 MS-DOS (or any other OS that can access an MS-DOS
                 filesystem) tools once it has been created; and
                 requires only a very small DOS or Linux program to
                 create in the first place.  It also includes MEMDISK,
                 a tool to boot legacy operating systems from
                 nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
