This time we include the ability of GRUB to be firmware on Yeeloong. This is also the first time we officially include ZFS and BtrFS support. In order to show the work done on stabilizing the whole project I decided= to move it to ftp.gnu.org from alpha.gnu.org. Congratulations to whole te= am The release file is bigger than it should be because of autogeneration issues. Other than the size these issues have no impact but their fixing is scheduled for next release. GRUB, also known as the GRand Unified Bootloader, is a modular, portable bootloader that supports a number of platforms, including standard BIOS-based PCs, EFI-based x86 systems, IEEE-1275 platforms (such as the OLPC and som= e PowerPC/Sparc64 hardware), coreboot, the free (as in freedom) pre-boot initialization framework, and Yeeloong, free (as in freedom) Loongson-2F-based (MIPS compliant CPU) laptop. Other major improvements include (extract from NEWS file): * Keyboard layouts support. * Parser for GRUB Legacy configuration files. * Extend `vbeinfo' and `vbetest' commands to non-VBE graphics, as `videoinfo' and `videotest'. * New `lsefisystab', `lssal', and `lsefimmap' commands on EFI platforms. * Support explicit user claim that a device is BIOS-visible. Devices listed in device.map will be assumed to be readable using only BIOS facilities, rather than anything more complex such as LVM or RAID. * New bash-completion script for GRUB utilities. * Use ACPI to shut down if possible. * New `lsacpi' command. * New `--boot-directory' option to `grub-install', `grub-reboot', and `grub-set-default', with clearer semantics than the previous `--root-directory' option. * Rename CD-ROM device to "cd" on BIOS platforms. * Transparent decompression filters. * Simpler PXE image generation. New `grub-mknetdir' utility to generate netboot directory trees. * New relocator. Allows for more kernel support and more straightforward loader writing. * Handle USB pendrives exposed as floppies. * New Automake-based build system. * Add `sendkey' command (i386-pc only). * Support 1.x versions of mdadm metadata. * Fix corruption when reading Reiserfs directory entries. * Bidirectional text and diacritics support. * Change grub-mkdevicemap to emit /dev/disk/by-id/ names where possible on GNU/Linux. * Add `grub-mkconfig' support for Xen with Linux. * Add `grub-mkconfig' support for initrd images on Fedora 13. * Support >3GiB and <16MiB RAM in i386-qemu. * Add support for Cirrus 5446 and Bochs video cards. * Load more appropriate video drivers automatically in `grub-mkconfig'. * USB improvements, including hotplugging/hotunplugging, hub support, and USB serial support. * AMD Geode CS5536 support. * Extensive updates to the Texinfo documentation. * Add `grub-probe' support for the btrfs filesystem, permitting / to reside on btrfs as long as /boot is on a filesystem natively supported by GRUB. * Handle symbolic links under /dev/mapper on GNU/Linux. * Handle installation across multiple partition table types. * Add `cmostest' command (i386/x86_64 only). * Add support for DM-RAID disk devices on GNU/Linux. * Remove `grub-mkisofs'. `grub-mkrescue' now uses GNU xorriso to build CD images. * `grub-mkrescue' support for EFI, coreboot, and QEMU platforms. * Unify `grub-mkimage', `grub-setup', and `grub-install' source code across platforms. * Fix VGA (as opposed to VBE) video driver, formerly a terminal driver. * Add menu hotkey support. * Add support for the nilfs2 filesystem. * `grub-probe' and `grub-mkconfig' support for NetBSD. * Support setting a background image in `grub-mkconfig'. * Support multiple terminals in `grub-mkconfig'. * Regexp support. * MIPS multiboot2 support. * Multiboot2 tag support. * sunpc partition table support. * Add a number of new language features to GRUB script: `for', `while', `until', `elif', function parameters, `break', `continue', `shift', multi-line quoted strings, positional parameters with `setparams', `return', filename wildcard expansion, and `!'. * Support nested partition tables. GRUB now prefers to name partitions in the form `(hd0,msdos1,bsd1)' rather than `(hd0,1,a)'. * Speed up consecutive hostdisk operations on the same device. A source tarball for the new release can be found at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-1.99.tar.gz or http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-1.99.tar.xz and its GPG detached signature [*]: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-1.99.tar.gz.sig or http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-1.99.tar.xz.sig [*] You can use either of the above signature files to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify grub-1.99.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys E82E4209 and rerun the `gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.68 Automake 1.11.1 GCC 4.4 is the recommended version for building it, although any version starting with 4.1.3 is supported in this release. I hope you enjoy using GRUB as much as we enjoyed developing it. --=20 Regards Vladimir '=CF=86-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko --------------enig8F5DD5539A1142348E8A8D6A Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iF4EAREKAAYFAk3PBOoACgkQNak7dOguQgkq1gD+N39O5U8805Uic5jOQzwL2SXJ L/Z6/ASeB90pDueouS4A/jmggz/skDgDYzwNk9ikj8h25Bi2JXnUlpeyG7L3EbhD =KjCE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig8F5DD5539A1142348E8A8D6A--
