4b13b216 | 38 | |
39 | * Rename the project name PUPA to GRUB. Now this version is the | |
40 | developmental version of GRUB officially. | |
41 | ||
42 | * The GRUB emulator ``grub-emu'' is added. | |
43 | ||
44 | * Add support for newworld Mac. This should work with other | |
45 | PowerPC-based machines as well, if they use IEEE 1275 | |
46 | (Open Firmware). | |
47 | ||
0e143073 | 48 | * Too many changes to describe. Look at ChangeLog for more details. |

9962ed99 | 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. | |

76 | ||
77 | * The chainloader and the FAT filesystem are modularized. | |
78 | ||
79 | * The structure of the source tree is a bit changed. | |
80 | ||
81 | * Support for building loadable modules is added. | |
82 | ||
83 | * Some generic parts of pupa-mkimage are segregated. | |
84 | ||
85 | * Some documentation files are added, according to the GNU Coding | |
86 | Standards. |
