Hi all,
I have officially released SYSLINUX 3.20:
Changes in 3.20:
* EXTLINUX: New options --install (-i) and --update (-U), to
make it clear if a boot loader should be installed or
updated. For now, defaults to --install for compatibility;
a future version will require one of these options.
* New library functions to load and place files in memory.
* mboot.c32 bug fixes.
* Remove 8 MB kernel size restriction.
* Add "klibc" target for building unix/syslinux and
extlinux/extlinux with klcc (klibc-1.4.27 or later.)
* PXELINUX: Fail (and eventually reboot) if no configuration
file was found.
* COM32 module by Erwan Velu to make decisions based on DMI
info.
* Fix issue where going back and forth between menus a lot
would cause a hang.
* ISOLINUX: Fix bug which made "cd boot sectors" not work.

Title: syslinux
Version: 3.20
Entered-date: 2006-08-26
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.
