* grub-core/kern/arm/cache_armv6.S: Remove .arch directive.
As these functions are used on pre-ARMv6 CPUs as well we don't want
to make assembler assume that architecture is higher than default one.

* NEWS: First draft of 2.02 entry.
2013-12-27 Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>
* INSTALL (Cross-compiling the GRUB): Fix some spelling mistakes.
* docs/grub.texi (Getting the source code): Likewise.

* Handle Japanese special keys.
* coreboot framebuffer.
* Serial on ARC.
* Native vt100 handling for grub-emu, replacing the use of the curses
library.
* New gfxmenu options for terminal window positioning, theme background
image handling, and scrollbar padding, plus `item_pixmap_style' and
`highlight_overlay'.
* Support several more image types (paletted and greyscale).
* Boot protocol improvements:
* Support Apple FAT binaries on non-Apple platforms.
* Improve FreeDOS direct loading support compatibility.
* Enable `linux16' on all x86 platforms, not just BIOS.
* New TrueCrypt ISO loader.
* New/improved network support:

Menu hotkeys pressed during a hidden timeout now boot the corresponding
menu entry immediately.
* New `file' command and grub-file utility to check file types.

executable stack.
* Fix documentation build with Texinfo >= 5.1.
* More robust and documented cross-compiling support.
* Partial clang support for some platforms.
* Eliminate the use of AutoGen. This allowed some performance
improvements to the build system.
