4ac9bd04 | 78 | New in 1.90 - 2005-08-07: |
4b13b216 | 79 | |
80 | * Rename the project name PUPA to GRUB. Now this version is the | |
81 | developmental version of GRUB officially. | |
82 | ||
83 | * The GRUB emulator ``grub-emu'' is added. | |
84 | ||
85 | * Add support for newworld Mac. This should work with other | |
86 | PowerPC-based machines as well, if they use IEEE 1275 | |
87 | (Open Firmware). | |
88 | ||
0e143073 | 89 | * Too many changes to describe. Look at ChangeLog for more details. |

9962ed99 | 92 | New in 0.7: |
93 | ||
94 | * Problems in cross-compiling PUPA are fixed. | |
95 | ||
62ddcc8f | 96 | * Use -mrtd and -mregparm=3 to reduce the generated code sizes. This |
97 | means that any missing prototypes could be fatal. Also, you must take | |
98 | care when writing assembly code. See the comments at the beginning of | |
99 | startup.S, for more details. | |
100 | ||
012d7999 | 101 | * New utility, ``pupa-setup''. This sets up PUPA to make it bootable |
102 | from a real disk. | |
103 | ||
a5ffe966 | 104 | * New commands, "prefix", "insmod", "rmmod" and "lsmod" are added into |
105 | the rescue mode to manipulate PUPA modules. | |
106 | ||
c04da074 | 107 | * Linux support is added. Initrd is not support yet. |
108 | ||
1f5ab428 | 109 | * Reduce the size of a core image significantly by compressing a large |
110 | part of the core image and decompressing itself at boot time. The | |
111 | currently used algorithm is LZO (more precisely, LZO1X-999). So you | |
112 | have to install LZO to build PUPA. See | |
113 | <http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/>, for more information. | |

117 | ||
118 | * The chainloader and the FAT filesystem are modularized. | |
119 | ||
120 | * The structure of the source tree is a bit changed. | |
121 | ||
122 | * Support for building loadable modules is added. | |
123 | ||
124 | * Some generic parts of pupa-mkimage are segregated. | |
125 | ||
126 | * Some documentation files are added, according to the GNU Coding | |
127 | Standards. |
