grub2 (1.99~20101124-1ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
4
* Resynchronise with Debian experimental. Remaining changes:
5
- Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options ("quiet splash").
6
- Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it.
7
- Set a monochromatic theme for Ubuntu.
8
- Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script: title,
9
recovery mode, quiet option, tweak how memtest86+ is displayed, and
10
use UUIDs where appropriate.
11
- Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf.
12
- Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string.
13
- Add crashkernel= options if kdump and makedumpfile are available.
14
- If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide
15
the menu. Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus
16
if available to check whether Shift is pressed. If it is, show the
17
menu, otherwise boot immediately. If keystatus is not available, then
18
fall back to a short delay interruptible with Escape.
19
- Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
20
- Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're
21
actually offering a shell prompt. Don't clear the screen just before
22
booting if we never drew the menu in the first place.
23
- Remove some verbose messages printed before reading the configuration
25
- Suppress progress messages as the kernel and initrd load for
26
non-recovery kernel menu entries.
27
- Change prepare_grub_to_access_device to handle filesystems
28
loop-mounted on file images.
29
- Ignore devices loop-mounted from files in 10_linux.
30
- Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed, that is if it failed
31
to get to the end of one of the normal runlevels.
32
- Don't generate /boot/grub/device.map during grub-install or
33
grub-mkconfig by default.
34
- Adjust upgrade version checks for Ubuntu.
35
- Don't display "GRUB loading" unless Shift is held down.
36
- Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts to tolerate
37
our backport of the grub-doc split.
38
- Fix LVM/RAID probing in the absence of /boot/grub/device.map.
39
- Look for .mo files in /usr/share/locale-langpack as well, in
41
- Make sure GRUB_TIMEOUT isn't quoted unnecessarily.
42
- Probe all devices in 'grub-probe --target=drive' if
43
/boot/grub/device.map is missing.
44
- Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests.
45
- Use qemu rather than qemu-system-i386.
46
- Program vesafb on BIOS systems rather than efifb.
47
- Add a grub-rescue-efi-amd64 package containing a rescue CD-ROM image
49
- On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
50
using the diverted grub-install.
51
- When embedding the core image in a post-MBR gap, check for and avoid
52
sectors matching any of a list of known signatures.
53
- Disable video_bochs and video_cirrus on PC BIOS systems, as probing
54
PCI space seems to break on some systems.
55
* Downgrade "ACPI shutdown failed" error to a debug message, since it can
56
cause spurious test failures.
59
* Enable lua from grub-extras.
60
* Incorporate the bitop library into lua.
61
* Add enum_pci function to grub module in lua.
62
* Switch back to gfxpayload=keep by default, unless the video hardware
63
is known to not support it.
66
* Built part_msdos and vfat into bootx64.efi (LP: #677758)

72
* New Bazaar snapshot (command priorities, build fixes, grub-mkdevicemap
74
* Don't try to build grub-efi-amd64 on kfreebsd-i386 or hurd-i386
75
(requires gcc-4.4-multilib).

grub2 (1.99~20101123-1) experimental; urgency=low
81
* New Bazaar snapshot (build fixes).
82
* Build-depend on qemu-utils and parted on non-Hurd architectures.
83
* qemu_img_exists.patch: Skip partmap test if qemu-img doesn't exist (as
84
is the case on the Hurd).
85
* Make grub-efi-ia32 and grub-efi-amd64 depend on efibootmgr so that
86
grub-install works properly.
87
* Upgrade the installed core image when upgrading grub-efi-ia32 or
88
grub-efi-amd64, although only if /boot/efi/EFI/<id> (where <id> is an
89
identifier based on GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR, e.g. 'debian') already exists.
90
* Re-expand a couple of dpkg architecture wildcards to exclude certain
91
special cases: gcc-4.4-multilib is not available on kfreebsd-i386 or
92
hurd-i386, and qemu-system is not available on hurd-i386.

grub2 (1.99~20101122-1) experimental; urgency=low
99
* New Bazaar snapshot. Too many changes to list in full, but some of the
100
more user-visible ones are as follows:
102
+ Function parameters, "break", "continue", "shift", "setparams",
104
+ "export" command supports multiple variable names.
105
+ Multi-line quoted strings support.
106
+ Wildcard expansion.
108
- USB hotunplugging and USB serial support.
109
- Rename CD-ROM to cd on BIOS.
110
- Add new --boot-directory option to grub-install, grub-reboot, and
111
grub-set-default; the old --root-directory option is still accepted
112
but was often confusing.
113
- Basic btrfs detection/UUID support (but no file reading yet).
114
- bash-completion for utilities.
115
- If a device is listed in device.map, always assume that it is
116
BIOS-visible rather than using extra layers such as LVM or RAID.
117
- Add grub-mknetdir script (closes: #550658).
118
- Remove deprecated "root" command.
119
- Handle RAID devices containing virtio components.
120
- GRUB Legacy configuration file support (via grub-menulst2cfg).
121
- Keyboard layout support (via grub-mklayout and grub-kbdcomp).
122
- Check generated grub.cfg for syntax errors before saving.
123
- Pause execution for at most ten seconds if any errors are displayed,
124
so that the user has a chance to see them.
126
- Write embedding zone using Reed-Solomon, so that it's robust against
127
being partially overwritten (closes: #550702, #591416, #593347).
128
- GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY and GRUB_DISABLE_NETBSD_RECOVERY merged
129
into a single GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY variable.
130
- Fix loader memory allocation failure (closes: #551627).
131
- Don't call savedefault on recovery entries (closes: #589325).
132
- Support triple-indirect blocks on ext2 (closes: #543924).
133
- Recognise DDF1 fake RAID (closes: #603354).
136
* Use dpkg architecture wildcards.
