I'm happy to announce the release of GRUB 0.92. This is the third of our prereleases leading up to GRUB 1.0. We encourage you to try it, as we have done a lot of bugfixes and feature enhancement since the previous release.
The source and binary distributions are available from <URL:ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/>. Send any questions, ideas, bug reports to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Here is the relevant NEWS: New in 0.92: * The command "displaymem" uses only hex digits for consistency. * The netboot code goes back to the progress bars instead of dots, for the notation of data transfers. And, that is displayed only in debug mode, that is to say, nothing is displayed by default. Remember that you can turn on debug mode via the command "debug". * The command "help" doesn't show all the available commands by default, when no argument is specified. Rarely used commands (such as "testload") and useless commands in interactive use (such as "savedefault") are hidden. If you want to see help messages for those commands, specify the new option "--all". * A built-in, `more'-like pager is added. When a command prints too many lines to fit the screen, GRUB waits until you hit return key. This feature can be turned off by the new command "pager". * The command "terminal" accepts a new option, "--lines=LINES". You can set the maximum number of lines arbitrarily with this option. If you don't specify it, the maximum number will be 24. * The command "terminal" accepts another new option, "--silent". You can suppress the "Press any key to continue" message with this option. * The mem= option for Linux is recognized and used to limit the maximum address of initrd. * A fallback entry is executed immediately after a default entry, without prompting a user's intervention, as the manual has ever been saying. * The utility ``grub-install'' makes sure that GRUB images have been written to a physical disk completely. To assist this feature, a new command "dump" is added. Thanks, Okuji P.S. I'm sorry that I wouldn't have made this release soon, although I said I would do that five weeks ago.
