I'll be releasing 1.97.1 tomorrow. Additionally, I cherry-picked fixes for a few problems that should have made it to the release, like GNU/Hurd support (see NEWS file for details). The release branch is available in: sftp://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/srv/bzr/grub/branches/release_1_97/ If you have time, please test this tree, specially password support, to help find possible problems.
