Syslinux 4.02 is a bug fix release, but also adds an experimental new Win64 installer (syslinux64.exe), extends the new syslinux installer CLI to all the installers. Changes in 4.02: * SYSLINUX: correctly handle the case where the -d option is specified with a non-absolute path, i.e. "syslinux -d syslinux" instead of "syslinux -d /syslinux". * ISOLINUX: recognize the directory names /boot/syslinux and /syslinux, and the filename syslinux.cfg in addition to the isolinux-specific names. Thus, "syslinux.cfg" is now a generic name, whereas "isolinux.cfg" or "extlinux.conf" is specific to different derivative. * chain.c32: support setting alternate config filename for stage2 of GRUB Legacy (Gert Hulselmans). * whichsys.c32: execute specific command, based on Syslinux bootloader variant (Gert Hulselmans). * lua.c32: a lot of new bindings added to the "syslinux" namespace: VESA, PCI, DMI, kernel loading (Marcel Ritter). * btrfs: print a comprehensive error message if compressed or encrypted files are encountered (neither is currently supported.) * SYSLINUX: mtools installer: honor TMPDIR, error out on disk full. * Handle fallbacks from EDD to CHS, to deal with systems which announce EDD support but don't actually have it. * SYSLINUX: the mtools, DOS and win32 installers now use the new command line options. * PXELINUX: fix the use of IP addresses in TFTP :: or tftp:// host syntax. * SYSLINUX: experimental Win64 installer (syslinux64.exe). Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 4.02 Entered-date: 2010-07-21 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.
