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.
