@@ -2,6 +2,20 @@ Starting with 1.47, changes marked with SYSLINUX, PXELINUX, ISOLINUX
or EXTLINUX apply to that specific program only; other changes apply
to all derivatives.
+Changes in 5.10:
+ * PXELINUX: An entirely new network implementation based on
+ the lwIP embedded TCP/IP stack. As a result, plain PXELINUX
+ can now support HTTP and FTP without gPXE/iPXE. ls/readdir
+ functionality is supported over HTTP with an indexing
+ webserver, or over FTP with most common FTP servers.
+ * Rename the "ipappend" option to "sysappend" ("ipappend" is
+ still accepted as an alias) and make it available for all
+ derivatives. Add additional strings derived from the system
+ DMI/SMBIOS information if available.
+ * "sysappend" strings are also sent as http cookies, with the
+ prefix _Syslinux_ added, on all http transfers. This can be
+ overridden with the SENDCOOKIES configuration file command.

Changes in 5.01:
* txt/: A new AsciiDoc documentation set (work-in-progress)
(Gene Cumm).
