[syslinux] SYSLINUX 3.06 released

[H. Peter Anvin]

Okay, let's hope *fourth* time is a charm...

Changes in 3.06:
         * Fix typo that caused the ramdisk to load in the wrong place.

Changes in 3.05:
         * New API function "shuffle and boot"; allows COM32 modules to
           load or construct (almost) arbitrarily complex objects,
           e.g. a kernel and its initrd/initramfs in pieces, and have
           the API core reorganize memory for booting.  (A library API
           for this function will be introduced in a later version.)
         * The initrd= option now supports multiple filenames separated
           by commas.  This is mostly useful for initramfs, which can
           be composed of multiple separate cpio or cpio.gz archives.
           (Note: all files except the last one are zero-padded to a 4K
           page boundary.  This should not affect initramfs.)
         * EXTLINUX: Fix API function 000Ah (get derivative-specific
           info).
         * libcom32/ethersel: Support PCI Config Mechanism #2 on
           machines still infested with that hideous old hack.
         * SYSLINUX: Fix directory-parsing bug.

Description:    SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux
                 operating system which operates off Linux ext2/3
                 filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers
                 using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs.  The FAT
                 filesystem version can be installed from DOS, NT, or
                 Linux.

                 It includes a sophisticated API for add-on "COM32"
                 modules, including a significant subset of the
                 standard C library.

                 It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy
                 operating systems from nontraditional media like PXE
                 or CD-ROM.
