“After 64 prereleases, 626 commits, 52,742 lines of changes, and
tons of work by many, many people, Syslinux 4.00 is now officially
released.

“Syslinux 4.00 is the first of a set of major code restructuring
releases. The single biggest new features are btrfs and ext4
support, and support for disks larger than 2 TiB.

“Huge thanks to:

– Intel, for sponsoring mine, Alek Du’s and Feng Tang’s work on
Syslinux (Feng’s work will be included in a subsequent
release);
– Shao Miller, Gert Hulselmans, Erwan Velu, Gene Cumm, and Thomas
Bächler for all your work and especially your work during the
last productization rush.
– Liu Aleaxander, Pierre-Alexandre Meyer, Steffen Winterfeldt,
Sebastian Herbszt, Ferenc Wagner and Paul Bolle for major
development work.
– Everyone else who have contributed or tested!”
