4b13b216 | 46 | |
47 | * Rename the project name PUPA to GRUB. Now this version is the | |

9962ed99 | 59 | New in 0.7: |
60 | ||
61 | * Problems in cross-compiling PUPA are fixed. | |
62 | ||
62ddcc8f | 63 | * Use -mrtd and -mregparm=3 to reduce the generated code sizes. This |
64 | means that any missing prototypes could be fatal. Also, you must take | |
65 | care when writing assembly code. See the comments at the beginning of | |
66 | startup.S, for more details. | |
67 | ||
012d7999 | 68 | * New utility, ``pupa-setup''. This sets up PUPA to make it bootable |
69 | from a real disk. | |
70 | ||
a5ffe966 | 71 | * New commands, "prefix", "insmod", "rmmod" and "lsmod" are added into |
72 | the rescue mode to manipulate PUPA modules. | |
73 | ||
c04da074 | 74 | * Linux support is added. Initrd is not support yet. |
75 | ||
1f5ab428 | 76 | * Reduce the size of a core image significantly by compressing a large |
77 | part of the core image and decompressing itself at boot time. The | |
78 | currently used algorithm is LZO (more precisely, LZO1X-999). So you | |
79 | have to install LZO to build PUPA. See | |
80 | <http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/>, for more information. | |

84 | ||
85 | * The chainloader and the FAT filesystem are modularized. | |
86 | ||
87 | * The structure of the source tree is a bit changed. | |
88 | ||
89 | * Support for building loadable modules is added. | |
90 | ||
91 | * Some generic parts of pupa-mkimage are segregated. | |
92 | ||
93 | * Some documentation files are added, according to the GNU Coding | |
94 | Standards. |
