[syslinux] Syslinux 4.01 released

[H. Peter Anvin]

Syslinux 4.01 is a bug fix release for 4.00, but also includes the new
experimental lua interpreter, as well as the ifplop module.

Changes in 4.01:
        * ISOLINUX: fix initialization on systems which don't zero
          low memory.
        * SYSLINUX/EXTLINUX: fix handing of disk read retries in
          EDD mode.
        * ISOLINUX: change the initialization sequence to avoid
          problems with certain (old) BIOSes.  Special thanks to
          Helmut Hullen for invaluable debugging support.
        * ifplop.c32: new module which detects if the PLoP Boot Loader
          already has booted a CDROM or USB drive (Gert Hulselmans).
        * Correct a severe memory overwrite bug, triggered primarily
          when selecting a very long command line in the menu system.
        * lua.c32: Lua script interpreter, currently experimental.
        * PXELINUX: new option IPAPPEND 4 to append the system UUID to
          the kernel command line.
        * PXELINUX: display BOOTIF and SYSUUID at startup time, and
          when Ctrl-N is pressed on the command line.

Title:          syslinux
Version:        4.01
Entered-date:   2010-07-02

Description:    SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux
                operating system which operates off Linux ext2/3/4 or
                btrfs 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.

                This version includes gPXE, to allow accessing network
                files via other protocols than TFTP.
