New in 1.90 - 2005-08-07:
* Rename the project name PUPA to GRUB. Now this version is the
developmental version of GRUB officially.
* The GRUB emulator ``grub-emu'' is added.
* Add support for newworld Mac. This should work with other
PowerPC-based machines as well, if they use IEEE 1275
(Open Firmware).
* Too many changes to describe. Look at ChangeLog for more details.
New in 0.7:
* Problems in cross-compiling PUPA are fixed.
* Use -mrtd and -mregparm=3 to reduce the generated code sizes. This
means that any missing prototypes could be fatal. Also, you must take
care when writing assembly code. See the comments at the beginning of
startup.S, for more details.
* New utility, ``pupa-setup''. This sets up PUPA to make it bootable
from a real disk.
2003-01-06 Yoshinori K. Okuji <okuji@enbug.org> * util/i386/pc/pupa-setup.c: Include pupa/machine/kernel.h.

the rescue mode to manipulate PUPA modules.
2003-01-17 Yoshinori K. Okuji <okuji@enbug.org> * include/pupa/i386/pc/linux.h: New file. * loader/i386/pc/linux.c: Likewise. * loader/i386/pc/chainloader.c (pupa_chainloader_boot_sector): Removed.

(pupa_machine_init): Set PUPA_LOWER_MEM and PUPA_UPPER_MEM to the size of the conventional memory and that of so-called upper memory (before the first memory hole). Instead of adding each found region to free memory, use add_mem_region and add them after removing overlaps. Also, add only 1/4 of the upper memory to free memory.

(pupa_upper_mem): Likewise. (pupa_gate_a20): Don't export, because turning off Gate A20 in a module is too dangerous. * include/pupa/loader.h (pupa_os_area_addr): Declared. (pupa_os_area_size): Likewise. (pupa_loader_set): Remove the first argument. Loader doesn't manage modules or initrd any longer. (pupa_loader_load_module): Removed. * conf/i386-pc.rmk (pkgdata_MODULES): Added linux.mod. (linux_mod_SOURCES): New variable. (linux_mod_CFLAGS): Likewise.
2003-01-17 02:52:05 +00:00
* Linux support is added. Initrd is not support yet.
* Reduce the size of a core image significantly by compressing a large
part of the core image and decompressing itself at boot time. The
currently used algorithm is LZO (more precisely, LZO1X-999). So you
have to install LZO to build PUPA. See
<http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/>, for more information.
