60 | New in 0.7: |
| 61 | |
| 62 | * Problems in cross-compiling PUPA are fixed. |
| 63 | |
| 62ddcc8f |
64 | * Use -mrtd and -mregparm=3 to reduce the generated code sizes. This |
| 65 | means that any missing prototypes could be fatal. Also, you must take |
| 66 | care when writing assembly code. See the comments at the beginning of |
| 67 | startup.S, for more details. |
| 68 | |
| 012d7999 |
69 | * New utility, ``pupa-setup''. This sets up PUPA to make it bootable |
| 70 | from a real disk. |
| 71 | |
| a5ffe966 |
72 | * New commands, "prefix", "insmod", "rmmod" and "lsmod" are added into |
| 73 | the rescue mode to manipulate PUPA modules. |
| 74 | |
| c04da074 |
75 | * Linux support is added. Initrd is not support yet. |
| 76 | |
| 1f5ab428 |
77 | * Reduce the size of a core image significantly by compressing a large |
| 78 | part of the core image and decompressing itself at boot time. The |
| 79 | currently used algorithm is LZO (more precisely, LZO1X-999). So you |
| 80 | have to install LZO to build PUPA. See |
| 81 | <http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/>, for more information. |
