[Etherboot-developers] Etherboot 5.0.1 (production) released

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

I have released Etherboot 5.0.1 at http://etherboot.sourceforge.net

Note that starting from this release, the documentation is in a separate
package.

The changes in 5.0.1 are:

+ Donald Christensen found a small bug in osloader.c. Not all context
was cleared on tftp restart which caused restarted tftp loads to fail.

+ Correct a small error in setting %sp when not running at 0x9xxxx.
Now relocation to 0x84000 works.

+ Marty Connor added a generic Tulip entry and renamed the Macronix
entries because PHP doesn't like strings starting with digits (for
rom-o-matic.net).

+ In loader.S, move code to save ROM segment and length to before jump
to new segment, otherwise if MOVEROM is defined, then the ROM segment is
always 0x8000. In etherboot.h, define an inline function to say if a ROM
address is ok to boot from. Allow if < 0xC0000 or matches assigned ROM
address of NIC.

+ Thomas Kessler found a bug in vendortags.sgml re option-NNN tags in
dhcpd.conf, the wrong syntax was presented. However on trying the
option-NNN syntax documented in the dhcp-options man page, it was
discovered that option option-NNN is no longer supported in the old way
in recent versions of ISC dhcpd v3; a new syntax should be used. Added
note to vendortags.sgml to warn users.

+ Incorporated changes suggested by Hannu Martikka to #define
DEFAULT_KERNELPATH in etherboot.h for rarp(), and display the TFTP
server address before filename in Loading: message.

+ Split off documentation into separate package in anticipation of
production/development series split. Moved previous LOG to top level.
Moved distribution section of index.html into separate web page so that
index.html will be less ephemeral.
