97 | ||
98 | * The GRUB emulator ``grub-emu'' is added. | |

9962ed99 | 107 | New in 0.7: |
108 | ||
109 | * Problems in cross-compiling PUPA are fixed. | |
110 | ||
62ddcc8f | 111 | * Use -mrtd and -mregparm=3 to reduce the generated code sizes. This |
112 | means that any missing prototypes could be fatal. Also, you must take | |
113 | care when writing assembly code. See the comments at the beginning of | |
114 | startup.S, for more details. | |
115 | ||
012d7999 | 116 | * New utility, ``pupa-setup''. This sets up PUPA to make it bootable |
117 | from a real disk. | |
118 | ||
a5ffe966 | 119 | * New commands, "prefix", "insmod", "rmmod" and "lsmod" are added into |
120 | the rescue mode to manipulate PUPA modules. | |
121 | ||
c04da074 | 122 | * Linux support is added. Initrd is not support yet. |
123 | ||
1f5ab428 | 124 | * Reduce the size of a core image significantly by compressing a large |
125 | part of the core image and decompressing itself at boot time. The | |
126 | currently used algorithm is LZO (more precisely, LZO1X-999). So you | |
127 | have to install LZO to build PUPA. See | |
128 | <http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/>, for more information. | |

134 | ||

136 | ||
137 | * Support for building loadable modules is added. | |
138 | ||
139 | * Some generic parts of pupa-mkimage are segregated. | |
140 | ||
141 | * Some documentation files are added, according to the GNU Coding | |
142 | Standards. |
