Hello, all. I've just uploaded 2.02~beta2.The major points to do before
release:
- Yeeloong 3A support needs some love.
- XEN would probably need config adjustments.
- XNU loader needs fixes.
- NEWS needs contents.
- Documentation.
- Loads and loads of testing and some bugfixes.

The tarball is available at
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.02~beta2.tar.xz
and signature at
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.02~beta2.tar.xz.sig

Signed with following fingerprint:
 E53D 497F 3FA4 2AD8 C9B4  D1E8 35A9 3B74 E82E 420

It's also available as a signed tag grub-2.02-beta2 in official git
repository.

If you don't have xz support alternatively you may consider files
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.02~beta2.tar.xz
and signature at
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.02~beta2.tar.xz.sig

As an experiment, I also uploaded zip binaries for windows (i386-pc,
x86_64-efi and i386-efi only, all in single zip) at
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.02~beta2-for-windows.zip
and signature at
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.02~beta2-for-windows.zip.sig

If this proves useful similar upload can be part of release.

I've just waded through a little over 8000 lines of ChangeLog, and
distilled that down into NEWS entries as best as I could; see commit
30a338460ad97c190502a1067979dac2fc548f16.  The things I've chosen to
document here probably reflect my interests somewhat, so please do look
it over and see if I've left out anything important.
