* 2.0 - In purgatory added -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss to prevent issues with recent versions of gcc - Add an option to configure to disable zlib support - Add mismatched architecture support - Updated the x86 architecture help - Updated the x86_64 architecture help - Fixed bzImage support - Added support for finding either the highest or lowest usable window. - Change the version number to 2.0 to reflect the major change in the code base. 1.99 was effectively the release canidate. * 1.99 - Rearchitect so the code is maintainable. - Add multiboot support - Add ia64 support - Add beoboot image support - Create generic elf loader code. - Created the relocated shared object purgatory to hold the code that runs between kernels. - Added a configure script - Added an rpm target - Added kexec on panic support - Initial stab at adding documentation - Added loader support for ET_DYN objects * 1.98 - Add mysteriously dropped changes to make x86_64 work - Update the distclean target to remove *.orig and *~ files * 1.97 - Add support for cross compiling x86_64 * 1.96 - add x86_64 support - add support for linux style arguments to the elf32-x86 loader - disable clearing of cr4 on x86 * 1.95 - add kexec-zImage-ppc64.c source file - GameCube/PPC32 sync'ed to 1.94 - use syscall() to call sys_kexec_load() and reboot() - add kexec-syscall.h, remove kexec-syscall.c - makefiles know about ARCH-es - add noifdown kexec option (Albert Herranz) * 1.94 - revert a bad 1.92 change (not setting optind & opterr for subsequent calls to getopt_long()) * 1.93 - restored "shutdown" functionality; - more help/usage text clarification; - add GPLv2 license to source files (with permission from Eric Biederman) * 1.92 - my_kexec(): call kexec() only one time; - add "unload" option; - fix some compiler warnings about " might be used uninitialized"; - commented out shutdown capability since it was unreachable; * 1.91 - fix "-t" option: strcmp() was inverted (Albert Herranz) - check specified kernel image file for file type (Albert Herranz) * 1.9 - change reboot function to return type long (was int) - use kexec reserved syscall numbers (in Linux 2.6.6-mm3) * 1.8 - Fixed bug where ramdisk wasn't loaded when specified - Memory information is now read from /proc/iomem. Information that is not needed is ignored. * 1.7 - Update to new tentative syscall number.... * 1.6 - Redo all of the command line arguments. - Use the 32-bit kernel entry point. - Work around a failure to clear %cr4. * 1.5 - Port to a new kernel interface (Hopefully the final one). - Start working on setting up legacy hardware - Add --load and --exec options so the parts can be done at different times. ###
