Hi, Version 0.6.96 of the Multiboot specification has been released.
Multiboot is a specification document which attempts to unify bootloading across Operating System kernels. Its reference implementation, GNU GRUB, is the most widely deployed free software bootloader, as a consequence of this and its clean, legacy-free design, it is a widely adopted specification for new OS kernel projects. Among a number of editorial improvements, this version of Multiboot includes a rewrite of the `multiboot.h' header, which has been imported from GRUB sources. This header is more complete than the previous version, and is licensed under permissive terms as a compromise to foster the development of Multiboot-compliant kernels. Previous versions of Multiboot were released with the same source tarball as GRUB Legacy. However, as GRUB Legacy is obsolete (we have moved development to GRUB 2 for several years), and no future release is planned, Multiboot is now provided in a separate source tarball. A source tarball for the new release can be found at: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/multiboot-0.6.96.tar.gz and its GPG detached signature [*]: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/multiboot-0.6.96.tar.gz.sig [*] You can use either of the above signature files to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify multiboot-0.6.96.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys DEA2C38E and rerun the `gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.61 Automake 1.10.1 -- Robert Millan "Be the change you want to see in the world" -- Gandhi
