Hi everyone,
I have pushed out Syslinux 3.82 to the usual places.
Again, special thanks to my employer, Intel, for letting me spend time
working on this stuff ;)
-hpa
Syslinux 3.82 is a bug fix release for 3.81.
Changes in 3.82:
* isohybrid: fix the -partok logic for loading from a partition.
* ISOLINUX: deal with systems which return from INT 13h with
interrupts disabled.
* Do not invoke the idle handler during large file loads.
* Simple menu: make ONTIMEOUT work with MENU HIDDEN.
* PXELINUX: handle TFTP servers which have extra NULs at the
end of an OACK packet.
Changes in 3.81:
* Shuffler: fix bug in real-mode entry. This affected a
number of modules, probably in relatively unimportant ways,
but it completely broke linux.c32.
* Improved performance.
* Attempt to halt the processor while idle. This can cause
bad reponsiveness when using a serial console especially for
automated input; if that ends up being a problem, use the
new "NOHALT 1" configuration command.
* linux.c32 now suppresses all messages if the "quiet" flag is
specified.
* isohybrid: add a variety of options, and a help message.
* ISOLINUX: fix booting in hybrid mode when CBIOS is used.
This unfortunately means that the isohybrid handoff protocol
has changed, so the isohybrid utility must version-match
isolinux.bin.
* Drop support for ACPI 3 extended memory flags.
* Menu system: don't set the autocr flag on the serial
console.
* altmbr: fix handling of logical partitions.
* altmbr: cap at 439 bytes so the partition select byte isn't
part of the file.

Title: syslinux
Version: 3.82
Entered-date: 2009-06-09
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.
This version includes gPXE, to allow accessing network
files via other protocols than TFTP.
