[Etherboot-developers] Etherboot 4.7.15 (development) released

[Ken Y. <ke...@nl...>]

First of all, best wishes for the holiday season to all on these lists.
Have fun, I know I will.

I have released Etherboot 4.7.15 at http://etherboot.sourceforge.net

This is a development release leading to a new stable series. There will
be no further releases of 4.6. As it is a development release, EXPECT
BREAKAGE. But please help test it by reporting all problems.

Changes in 4.7.15:

+ Thanks to Mark VandeWettering for the start of HomePNA (networking
over phone lines) support for the AMD 79C978.

+ Bug fixed in first32.c handling of (ip|nfsroot)=X where X is not rom.

+ first32pm.linux works. No need to go into real mode to call first32pm
and then it goes back to protected mode. Paves the way for extension
routines to Etherboot.  Implement program returns to loader flag in
header field.  Added option to mknbi to specify this.

+ first32*.linux: Check tag 128 present and correct before appending tag
129. Also tag 129 should be appended to parameters before substitutions.

+ Merged cleanup_net into cleanup since they are always called together.

+ Floppy booting doesn't need to be passed BOOTP_DATA_ADDR.

+ Clean up variables associated with tagged image loading in osloader.c.
