2004-04-04 13:46:03 +00:00
|

|
|

|
developmental version of GRUB officially.

|
|
|
* The GRUB emulator ``grub-emu'' is added.

|
|

|
New in 0.7:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Problems in cross-compiling PUPA are fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-12-28 07:16:30 +00:00
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-01-02 23:46:21 +00:00

|

|
|
2003-01-17 02:52:05 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-01-31 03:26:56 +00:00
|
|
|
* 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.
