[Devil-linux-software] [fmII] Syslinux 3.70 released (Release branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '3.70' of
'Syslinux' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can
be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/syslinux/

The changes in this release are as follows:
gPXE has been integrated with PXELINUX. This allows network files to
be accessed over protocols other than TFTP. TFTP no longer requires a
server that can present the "tsize" option. SYSLINUX has added VFAT
long filenames. chain.c32 can now access files directly when loading
NTLDR (WinNT) or kernel.sys, io.sys, or ibmbio.sys (DOS). chain.c32
can now also install a drive-swapping stub for BIOS, which allows
cross-drive booting of Windows. The complex menu system should now
work as advertised again. USB keyboards have been fixed on some
systems. 

Release focus:
5 - Major feature enhancements

Project description:
SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating
system which operates on Linux EXT2/EXT3 filesystems, MS-DOS FAT
filesystems, network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs.
SYSLINUX has an advanced extension API and contains two optional menu
systems. It also includes MEMDISK, a tool for booting legacy operating
systems from non-traditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
