or EXTLINUX apply to that specific program only; other changes apply
to all derivatives.
+Changes in 3.86:
+ * chain.c32: fix chainloading the MBR of a hard disk (broken
+ in 3.85).
+ * mboot.c32: report the boot loader name in the information
+ structure.
+ * com32: set argv[0] in a com32 module.
+ * core: add a workaround for a bug in Xen HVM older than
+ version 3.3: disable halt on those platforms.
+ * Fix problems where certain operations in com32 modules would
+ cause the core to believe the system was idle.
+ * MEMDISK: fix MBR detection when used with a DOSEMU header or
+ an offset.
+ * MEMDISK: generate the mBFT checksum correctly.
+
+Changes in 3.85:
+ * gPXELINUX: updated to gPXE 1.0.0. gPXELINUX can now do NBP
+ chainloading, and does not require a second DHCP.
+ * vesamenu.c32: unbreak the default "grey hole" background.
+ * We no longer have a built-in default of "linux auto".
+ Instead, if no DEFAULT or UI statement is found, or the
+ configuration file is missing entirely, we drop to the boot:
+ prompt with an error message (if NOESCAPE is set, we stop
+ with a "boot failed" message; this is also the case for
+ PXELINUX if the configuration file is not found.)
+ * chain.c32: support chainloading Grub4DOS; patch by Gert
+ Hulselmans.
+ * New tool: sysdump.c32, can be used to produce system
+ information for debugging via tftp or ymodem (serial port).
+ * "vga=current" on the Linux command line is now supported.
+ * chain.c32: support for Windows Recovery Console, via the
+ "cmldr=" option.
+ * chain.c32: should now support loading NTLDR from different
+ type media than loaded from.
+ * chain.c32: support chainloading to a FAT/NTFS partition with
+ invalid "hidden sectors" via the "sethidden" option.
+ * memdisk: fix the mBFT ACPI table.
+ * vesamenu.c32: if the image is smaller than the screen, tile
+ it across the whole screen.
+ * mkdiskimage: -s option for producing a sparse image.
+ * vesamenu.c32: support arbitrary resolution setting (beyond
+ BIOS support) on some Intel-based video chipsets. This code
+ is a modified version of the "915resolution" tool by
+ Steve Tomljenovic; your mileage might vary.
+
+Changes in 3.84:
+ * SYSLINUX: make the DOS installer work for MS-DOS 7.x/8.x
+ (Win9x/ME) again.
+ * HDT: updated to version 0.3.6 (numerous changes.)
+ * mboot.c32: now supports video mode setting if requested by
+ the image.
+ * MEMDISK: Fix floppy images of PC-DOS.
+ * MEMDISK: Add support for emulation of CD-ROM images; patch
+ by Shao Miller.
+ * MEMDISK: Comply with the Win9x "safe hook" standard,
+ allowing a protected-mode driver.
+ * MEMDISK: New "mBFT" ACPI table, by analogy with the iSCSI
+ iBFT table. This allows detection from a protected-mode
+ operating system without EDD support.
+ * 32-bit version of the gfxboot loader (gfxboot.c32), so far
+ experimental. This will replace gfxboot.com in the future.
+ * vesamenu.c32: new MENU RESOLUTION directive to set a screen
+ resolution other than 640x480.
+ * chain.c32: add support for loading isolinux.bin.
+ * chain.c32: make sure to always return to text mode.
+ * eltorito.sys: DOS driver for generic CD-ROMs; by Gary Tong
+ and Bart Lagerweij.
+
Changes in 3.83:
* PXELINUX: clear memory before handing over to a chainloaded
NBP. This may help avoid a bug in Windows RIS.
* MEMDISK: fix problems booting from USB on Thinkpads, and
possibly other machines or hardware combinations.
* isohybrid: fix the -id option.
+ * HDT: updated to version 0.3.4.
+ * MEMDISK: the stack size is now configurable, with the stack=
+ option.
+ * Simple menu: fix Ctrl-W (word erase) in command-line edit.
+ * Simple menu: fix crash on some platforms.
+ * Gfxboot: fixes to the configuration file parsing.
+ * PXELINUX: add a tool to override specific DHCP options via
+ values hardcoded in the pxelinux.0 file. These hardcoded
+ values can be either "before DHCP" (defaults if DHCP do not
+ provide values), or "after DHCP" (overrides DHCP). The tool
+ pxelinux-options can be used to set these options. This
+ feature does not apply to gpxelinux.0; when used with gPXE
+ this is better handled by modifying the embedded script.
Changes in 3.82:
* isohybrid: fix the -partok logic for loading from a partition.
