New in 1.96: * The license term is changed to GNU General Public License Version 3. * grub-emu is made optional. Now you have to use `--enable-grub-emu' to enable it. * Add Multiboot2 support. * grub-emu can access the host filesystem now. * Add support for the NTFS filesystems. * Add support for ATA/ATAPI. New in 1.95 - 2006-10-15: * Number partitions from 1 instead of 0. For instance, the first partition of "hd0" is now "hd0,1" but not "hd0,0". * grub-probefs is renamed to grub-probe, and supports printing a guessed OS device name and a GRUB drive name. * RAID and LVM support is added. * New command, echo. * The disk API is changed to support 64-bit addressing. * A TGA loader is added for the video API. New in 1.94 - 2006-06-04: * Fix several serious bugs in HFS+. * Add experimental EFI support. Chainloading and Linux loading are supported at the moment. * Add a new command "blocklist" to show a block list. * Use --with-platform to specify a boot environment. For now, efi, ieee1275 and pc are supported. * Use the filename "kernel.elf" instead of "grubof" on ieee1275. * Install GRUB into pkglibdir instead of pkgdatadir. * Support environmental variables. You can export variables by the command "export". * Remove the commands "default" and "timeout". They are now variables. * Add the commands "source" and "." to include a file. * Implement experimental Video API and a new terminal "gfxterm" based on the Video API. New in 1.93 - 2006-03-10: * Add support for the HFS+ wrapper. * Major improvements to scripting support. * Menu entries are now scriptable. New in 1.92 - 2005-12-25: * Add support for GPT partition table format. * Add a new command "play" to play an audio file on PC. * Add support for Linux/ADFS partition table format. * Add support for BASH-like scripting. * Add support for Apple HFS+ filesystems. New in 1.91 - 2005-10-15: * Add support for LZO version 2. * Support completion in the entry editor. * Add VBE support. * New commands, "search", "vbetest" and "vbeinfo". * The option BOOT_IMAGE is passed to Linux. * Add support for automatic decompression for gzip. * Add support for terminfo and serial. * Add support for x86_64. * GRUB itself is a Multiboot-compliant kernel. * Add new filesystems: XFS, SFS, and AFFS. 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. * 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 , 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.
