Release 20140221 (4th release) {#release20140221}
==============================
- 21st February 2014
Officially supported
--------------------
- ThinkPad X60
- ThinkPad X60s
Development notes
-----------------
- Removed SeaBIOS (redundant)
- New GRUB version (2.02\~beta2)
- Fixes some USB issues
- Includes ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX parser
- New grub.cfg
- Removed useless options:
- options for booting sda 2/3/4
- seabios boot option
- Added new menu entries:
- Parse ISOLINUX config (USB)
- Parse ISOLINUX config (CD)
- Added 'cat' module for use on GRUB command line.
- "set pager=1" is set in grub.cfg, for less-like functionality
The "Parse" options read ./isolinux/isolinux.cfg on a CD or USB, and
automatically converts it to a grub config and switches to the boot menu
of that distro. This makes booting ISOs \*much\* easier than before.
