I'm happy to announce the release of GRUB 1.94. This is the fifth of
our prereleases leading up to GRUB 2.0. We encourage you to try it, as
we have done a significant amount of work towards GRUB 2. Note that this
release is mainly for developers who are willing to contribute to our
project. If you need a working solution immediately, you'd better to stick to
GRUB Legacy at the moment.
The source distribution is available from <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/>.
Send any questions, ideas, bug reports to <address@hidden>.
Here is the relevant NEWS:
New in 1.94 - 2006-06-04:
* Fix several serious bugs in HFS+.
* Add experimental EFI support. Chainloading and Linux loading are
supported at the moment.
* Add a new command "blocklist" to show a block list.
* Use --with-platform to specify a boot environment. For now, efi,
ieee1275 and pc are supported.
* Use the filename "kernel.elf" instead of "grubof" on ieee1275.
* Install GRUB into pkglibdir instead of pkgdatadir.
* Support environmental variables. You can export variables by the
command "export".
* Remove the commands "default" and "timeout". They are now variables.
* Add the commands "source" and "." to include a file.
* Implement experimental Video API and a new terminal "gfxterm" based
on the Video API.
Thanks,
Okuji
