51 | New in 0.7: |
| 52 | |
| 53 | * Problems in cross-compiling PUPA are fixed. |
| 54 | |
| 62ddcc8f |
55 | * Use -mrtd and -mregparm=3 to reduce the generated code sizes. This |
| 56 | means that any missing prototypes could be fatal. Also, you must take |
| 57 | care when writing assembly code. See the comments at the beginning of |
| 58 | startup.S, for more details. |
| 59 | |
| 012d7999 |
60 | * New utility, ``pupa-setup''. This sets up PUPA to make it bootable |
| 61 | from a real disk. |
| 62 | |
| a5ffe966 |
63 | * New commands, "prefix", "insmod", "rmmod" and "lsmod" are added into |
| 64 | the rescue mode to manipulate PUPA modules. |
| 65 | |
| c04da074 |
66 | * Linux support is added. Initrd is not support yet. |
| 67 | |
| 1f5ab428 |
68 | * Reduce the size of a core image significantly by compressing a large |
| 69 | part of the core image and decompressing itself at boot time. The |
| 70 | currently used algorithm is LZO (more precisely, LZO1X-999). So you |
| 71 | have to install LZO to build PUPA. See |
| 72 | <http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/>, for more information. |

| 86 | Standards. |
