%changelog
* Tue Nov 04 2008 snwint@suse.de
- gfxboot: increase usable mem size to 8MB
* Fri Oct 17 2008 olh@suse.de
- add ExclusiveArch x86 x86_64
* Thu Oct 16 2008 snwint@suse.de
- minor serial line patch fix (bnc #436034)
* Wed Sep 10 2008 snwint@suse.de
- reworked serial line patch (removed SERIALLINES)
* Thu Sep 04 2008 snwint@suse.de
- added SERIALLINES config option to listen on up to four
serial lines (fate #301595)
* Mon Apr 28 2008 snwint@suse.de
- give more memory to gfxboot code
* Mon Apr 14 2008 snwint@suse.de
- update to version 3.63
* Lots of bug fixes.
* Handle command lines up to 2047 characters, the current
Linux kernel limit.
* Support MD5, SHA256 and SHA512 encrypted passwords.
* MEMDISK: Turn on EDD support by default.
* Add a new INCLUDE command to the core syslinux parser.
* It is now supported to load a different configuration file
with the CONFIG keyword.
* MENU AUTOBOOT, MENU TABMSG, MENU PASSPROMPT allows
internationalization of menu messages.
* New hierarchial submenu support: see MENU BEGIN, MENU END,
MENU GOTO in doc/menu.txt.
* MENU QUIT allows creating a menu entry for returning to the
command line.
* Simple menu system: new "MENU HIDDEN" option to not display
the menu unless the user presses a key.
* Add "menu separator", "menu indent", "menu disabled"
(see README.menu).
* SYSLINUX: Support subdirectories.
* PXELINUX: Press Ctrl-N at the boot prompt to read out the
network info.
* PXELINUX: as per RFC 5071, PXELINUX no longer requires the
use of the magic cookie option (208) for unencapsulated
options. Currently it does not require it for
vendor-encapsulated options (vendor-option-space) either,
but that MAY be reverted in the future if it causes problems.
* EXTLINUX: boot-once support (--once, --clear-once, and --reset-adv)
* Support for "auxilliary data vector", a small amount of
writable storage. Currently only supported for EXTLINUX,
but the infrastructure is there for the other derivatives,
assuming a suitable storage location can be found.
* Fri Jun 22 2007 snwint@suse.de

* The simple menu system (menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32) now

using MENU INCLUDE or by specifying multiple filenames.
* The MENU COLOR statement can now control the shadowing mode.
* libcom32 extended to support graphics mode and graphical console.
* vesamenu.c32, new graphical version of the Simple
Menu System, see README.menu.
* New com32 modules by Erwan Velu do selection based on CPUID
or PCI devices present.
* EXTLINUX: New options --install (-i) and --update (-U), to
make it clear if a boot loader should be installed or
updated. For now, defaults to --install for compatibility;
a future version will require one of these options.
* New library functions to load and place files in memory.
* mboot.c32 bug fixes.
* Remove 8 MB kernel size restriction.
* PXELINUX: Fail (and eventually reboot) if no configuration
file was found.
* COM32 module by Erwan Velu to make decisions based on DMI info.
