4ac9bd04 | 73 | New in 1.90 - 2005-08-07: |
4b13b216 | 74 | |
75 | * Rename the project name PUPA to GRUB. Now this version is the | |
76 | developmental version of GRUB officially. | |
77 | ||
78 | * The GRUB emulator ``grub-emu'' is added. | |
79 | ||
80 | * Add support for newworld Mac. This should work with other | |
81 | PowerPC-based machines as well, if they use IEEE 1275 | |
82 | (Open Firmware). | |
83 | ||
0e143073 | 84 | * Too many changes to describe. Look at ChangeLog for more details. |

9962ed99 | 87 | New in 0.7: |
88 | ||
89 | * Problems in cross-compiling PUPA are fixed. | |
90 | ||
62ddcc8f | 91 | * Use -mrtd and -mregparm=3 to reduce the generated code sizes. This |
92 | means that any missing prototypes could be fatal. Also, you must take | |
93 | care when writing assembly code. See the comments at the beginning of | |
94 | startup.S, for more details. | |
95 | ||
012d7999 | 96 | * New utility, ``pupa-setup''. This sets up PUPA to make it bootable |
97 | from a real disk. | |
98 | ||
a5ffe966 | 99 | * New commands, "prefix", "insmod", "rmmod" and "lsmod" are added into |
100 | the rescue mode to manipulate PUPA modules. | |
101 | ||
c04da074 | 102 | * Linux support is added. Initrd is not support yet. |
103 | ||
1f5ab428 | 104 | * Reduce the size of a core image significantly by compressing a large |
105 | part of the core image and decompressing itself at boot time. The | |
106 | currently used algorithm is LZO (more precisely, LZO1X-999). So you | |
107 | have to install LZO to build PUPA. See | |
108 | <http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/>, for more information. | |

112 | ||
113 | * The chainloader and the FAT filesystem are modularized. | |
114 | ||
115 | * The structure of the source tree is a bit changed. | |
116 | ||
117 | * Support for building loadable modules is added. | |
118 | ||
119 | * Some generic parts of pupa-mkimage are segregated. | |
120 | ||
121 | * Some documentation files are added, according to the GNU Coding | |
122 | Standards. |
