Folks,
I've just released the first prelease for the 5.10 series. The intention
is to leave 5.02-pre3 where it is and move to 5.10-pre1. The only
difference between 5.02-pre3 and 5.10-pre1 is the merge of the lwip
branch (and a single commit to fixup the -DDEBUG=2 build), which
warranted a bump in the version minor number. See the shortlog below for
details of the differences between 5.02-pre3 and 5.10-pre1.
I don't expect people to be crying out for a 5.02 final release, but if
that is something that people want we can always do it retroactively at
any time. That isn't a problem.
With Syslinux-5.10-pre1 we've now got two network stacks; the old legacy
stack which is a very thin layer around the PXE interface, and the new
lwIP TCP/IP stack. The easiest way to include both of these stacks in
Syslinux was to build two separate .0 files, pxelinux.0 for the legacy
stack and lpxelinux.0 for the lwIP stack. Note there are no plans to
make the new http/ftp code work with the legacy stack, it's mainly being
kept around as a known reference point for when bugs are suspected in
lpxelinux.0 and because it is known to work with some rather quirky PXE
implementations.
