Changes in 3.62: * Clean up garbage after "aborted." message. * Clean up memdump.com filenames. * Support SHA256 and SHA512 encrypted passwords. * The shuffle library now can generate chained descriptors, thus allowing pretty much arbitrarily complex memory maps. * Handle command lines up to 2047 characters, the current Linux kernel limit. * vesamenu: support systems without linear framebuffer support (sigh, what is this, 1993?) and 15-bit RGB modes. * Move the label storage (for the command-line interface) to high memory, removing the size limit and freeing up 64K of low memory. * Get rid of 4096-entry limit in the simple menu system. * New hierarchial submenu support: see MENU BEGIN, MENU END, MENU GOTO in doc/menu.txt. * MENU QUIT allows creating a menu entry for returning to the command line. * ISOLINUX: Work around bug in certain Adaptec BIOSes, patch by Bruce Robson. * pngtopnm dependency removed from samples/ directory. * Text documentation files (in doc/) renamed *.doc -> *.txt. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 3.62 Entered-date: 2008-03-01 Description: SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating system which operates off Linux ext2/3 filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs. The FAT filesystem version can be installed from DOS, NT, or Linux. It includes a sophisticated API for add-on "COM32" modules, including a significant subset of the standard C library. It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems from nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
