Hi all,
I have received a fair number of bug reports over the last few weeks
-- even days -- and I am therefore declaring 3.53-pre5 a release
candidate for a 3.53 bug fix release.
This 3.53 will not contain either of the two major features under
development -- client side state (including boot-once) and gPXE
integration -- since I want to avoid destabilizing the code base beyond
the bug fixes/firmware workarounds that have been added.
Please try out 3.53-pre5 if you have the chance. I would like to
release 3.53 some time between Friday and Monday (Nov 16-19).
-hpa
P.S. I haven't updated the NEWS file for 3.53 yet, but this is the shortlog:
Gerald Britton (1):
syslinux $PnP search fix
H. Peter Anvin (31):
bootsect.inc: make sure the $PnP header can fit inside the segment
memdump: remove debugging code never meant for release
elf.c: better error message when memory is unavailable
Next version is 3.53
Update the memory layout specification
Makefiles: create NASMOPT variable
Set TR and LDTR when entering protected mode
Mark TSS unbusy before protected mode entry
Add .gitignore file so "git status" makes sense
Fix [BI]ESUBDIRS for make installer/tidy/clean/spotless
DHCP bootfile option is 67, not 64.
mkdiskimage: support more than 1024 cylinders
Try to fix libfat/ulint.h for non-x86 platforms
mkdiskimage: correct the partition type for > 1024 cylinders
Code cleanup: get rid of hard-coded descriptor numbers
Remove unused EndOfGetcBuf
comboot: fix shuffle_and_boot_rm (used by linux.c32)
Optional debugging code for shuffle and boot and load_linux
Use "nop nop" to clobber "mov cs,ax" even though it's longer
Setting cr0 requires a jmp to synchronize on 386/486
isolinux: protect bss variables clobbered due to final sector load
Clean up the transition to PM for shuffle-and-boot-to-PM
Guard section to avoid future partial-sector-clobber issues
Typo cleanup
In 32-bit mode, "xor eax,eax" is shorter than "xor ax,ax"
Add sha256crypt and sha512crypt; not yet enabled
Remove unused variable BufSafeSec
Fix boot sectors; cleanup_hardware must preserve registers
ISOLINUX: Change DriveNo -> DriveNumber
mbr.S: fix loading from logical partitions
Preserve ES:DI instead of probing for $PnP
-hpa
