* Rename the project name PUPA to GRUB. Now this version is the
developmental version of GRUB officially.

care when writing assembly code. See the comments at the beginning of
startup.S, for more details.

* New commands, "prefix", "insmod", "rmmod" and "lsmod" are added into
the rescue mode to manipulate PUPA modules.

* 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.

New in 0.6 - 2002-12-27, Yoshinori K. Okuji:
* The chainloader and the FAT filesystem are modularized.
* The structure of the source tree is a bit changed.
* Support for building loadable modules is added.
* Some generic parts of pupa-mkimage are segregated.
* Some documentation files are added, according to the GNU Coding
Standards.
