Fine with me. I think GRUB is in a pretty good state now for a release. Perhaps I would still add the file access patch in LUA (without the ad-hoc multi-file operations), as LUA is not the core functionality and it's quite useless without file operations. Having that functionality in GRUB 1.97 would help start developing LUA programs for GRUB that don't require a subversion snapshot. The already posted USB patches should be reviewed and applied too, but we should not promise full USB support in 1.97. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
