* normal/misc.c: New file.

        * DISTLIST: Added normal/misc.c.

        * partmap/amiga.c (amiga_partition_map_iterate): Add an argument
        DISK to HOOK. Call HOOK with DISK.
        * partmap/apple.c (apple_partition_map_iterate): Likewise.
        * partmap/pc.c (pc_partition_map_iterate): Likewise.
        * partmap/sun.c (sun_partition_map_iterate): Likewise.

        * normal/menu_entry.c (struct screen): Added a new member
        "completion_shown".
        (completion_buffer): New global variable.
        (make_screen): Set SCREEN->COMPLETION_SHOWN to zero.
        (store_completion): New function.
        (complete): Likewise.
        (clear_completions): Likewise.
        (grub_menu_entry_run): If SCREEN->COMPLETION_SHOWN is non-zero,
        call clear_completions and reset SCREEN->COMPLETION_SHOWN. If C is
        a tab, call complete.

        * normal/completion.c (disk_dev): Removed.
        (print_simple_completion): Likewise.
        (print_partition_completion): Likewise.
        (print_func): New global variable.
        (add_completion): Do not take the arguments WHAT or PRINT any
        longer. Added a new argument TYPE. Instead of printing directly,
        call PRINT_FUNC if not NULL.
        All callers changed.
        (complete_device): Use a local variable DEV instead of
        DISK_DEV. Do not move CURRENT_WORD to the end of a device name.
        (grub_normal_do_completion): Take a new argument HOOK. Do not
        initialize DISK_DEV. Initialize PRINT_FUNC to HOOK. If RET is an
        empty string, return NULL instead.
        All callers changed.

        * normal/cmdline.c (print_completion): New function.

        * kern/partition.c (grub_partition_iterate): Add an argument DISK
        to HOOK.
        All callers changed.

        * kern/disk.c (grub_print_partinfo): Removed.

        * include/grub/partition.h (struct grub_partition_map): Add a new
        argument DISK into HOOK of ITERATE.
        (grub_partition_iterate): Add a new argument DISK to HOOK.

        * include/grub/normal.h (enum grub_completion_type): New enum.
        (grub_completion_type_t): New type.
        (GRUB_COMPLETION_TYPE_COMMAND): New constant.
        (GRUB_COMPLETION_TYPE_DEVICE): Likewise.
        (GRUB_COMPLETION_TYPE_PARTITION): Likewise.
        (GRUB_COMPLETION_TYPE_FILE): Likewise.
        (grub_normal_do_completion): Added a new argument HOOK.
        (grub_normal_print_device_info): New prototype.

        * include/grub/disk.h (grub_print_partinfo): Removed.

        * conf/i386-pc.rmk (grub_emu_SOURCES): Added normal/misc.c.
        (normal_mod_SOURCES): Likewise.
        * conf/powerpc-ieee1275.rmk (grub_emu_SOURCES): Likewise.
        (normal_mod_SOURCES): Likewise.

        * commands/ls.c (grub_ls_list_disks): Use
        grub_normal_print_device_info instead of grub_print_partinfo. Free
        PNAME.
        (grub_ls_list_files): Use grub_normal_print_device_info instead of
        duplicating the code.

New in 1.91:
* Add support for LZO version 2.
* Support completion in the entry editor.
* Add VBE support.
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
<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.
