Subject: [ANN] yaboot-1.3.4 released
Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2001 23:51:28 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011013235128.A15428@plato.local.lan> (raw)
I have released yaboot 1.3.4.
It is available at:
http://penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot/
http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/yaboot/
The main interesting change is the addition of SGI XFS filesystem
support.
This version also fixes several bugs in regards to file loading, and
network/tftp boot.
Here is the complete changelog for this version:
* Version 1.3.4
* ybin: Correct a verbosity message.
* yaboot:
- Add SGI XFS filesystem support.
- Rewrite OpenFirmware device path parsing code. This fixes
many bugs and inconsistencies in yaboot's file loading.
- Fix OpenFirmware filesystem support to automatically convert
path separator from / to \. CDROM authors no longer need to use
kludges like image=\\install\\powermac\\vmlinux.
- Fix kernel loading on some systems.
- Allow for getting files from tftp server that does not run a
bootpd/dhcpd.
- Fix netboot when using the `n' key.
- Fix a great deal of incorrect format strings which could cause
yaboot crashes.
- Fix all filesystems to properly return error conditions, and
report those error conditions (instead of just saying `image not
found').
- Make configuration file open error consistent with other file
open errors.
- Add `help' command to yaboot which prints out basic usage information.
- Add non-fatal warning when bootstrap partition has wrong type (pmac only).
- Minor code rearrangement.
- General cruft removal and code cleanup.
* Makefile cleanup, make filesystems configurable.
Have fun!
