-* 2.6 14 March 2006
-- Fix the i386-linux probe code so it does not get confused by
- bzImages that are also ELF executables.
-- Changed value of GDTLOC and REAL_MODE_DATA_LOC to be below
- 512kb. This allows for booting on machines whose BIOS reports
- only 512kb of memory below 1MB.
-
-* 2.5 24 April 2003
-- Fix the checksum code so that it checksums the bss sections as well.
- How I missed the checksum code was broken in 2.4 I don't know.
-
-* 2.4 22 April 2003
-- Fix code that failed to write more than the first ELF note.
- Resulting in checksums and other information not being present
- in the generated ELF image.
- This bug has been present since mkelfImage-2.0
-
-* 2.3 7 Febuary 2003
-- Disable debugging code on the itanium that is not always safe.
-
-* 2.2 6 Febuary 2003
-- Always read the correct pointer when an ELF boot header is found.
-- Add a printf implementation to i386-linux/convert_param.c
-- Minor man page updates.
-
-* 2.1 27 January 2003
-- Allow an arbitrary number of kernel headers in mkelf-linux-ia64.c
-- Remove unused entries from Makefile.conf.in
-- Correctly report the elf note size.
-- Check for broken binutils when we run, so mkelfImage does not generate incorrect images.
-- Add automatic decompress of kernel images
-
-* 2.0 13 January 2003
-- Convert everything to C
-- Add itanium support
-
-* 1.19 20 December 2002
- - Update to handle a Bhdr passed via the C calling conventions.
-
-* 1.18 9 November 2002
- - Update to work with binutils 2.13.x
-
-* 1.17 17 October 2002
- - Add an rpm target
- - Fix Source0 in the rpm spec file
- - Linux 2.5.x support
-
-* 1.16 29 August 2002
- - Include the source for my spec file in the tarball.
- - Fix the make install target
-
-* 1.15 23 August 2002
- - Rewrote the perl ip checksum code to be reasonably fast
- - Fixes to the initial parameter passing in head.S thanks to Jake Page <jake@CS.Stanford.EDU>
- - Initial cross compiling support thanks to Jake Page <jake@CS.Stanford.EDU>
- - Official specfile thanks to Andrew Ip <aip@cwlinux.com>
- - Autoconf support Josh Aune <lunke@linuxnetworx.com>
-
-* 1.14 28 June 2002
- - Use much less complex ld magic (removed the use of PHDRS directive)
- - Fix a small bug in the LinuxBIOS checksum verification code (only affected odd length tables)
-
-* 1.13 10 May 2002
- Include the version number in mkelfImage.
-
-* 1.12 26 January 2002
- Better firmware detection, and stripping excess symbols from the
- generated object.
-
-* 1.11 24 January 2002
- Bug fix to command line processing.
-
-* 1.10 21 January 2002
- Starting using the PHDRS directive which many versions of ld cannot
- handle correctly. The symptom is generally a file that is 9MB in
- size.
-
- Start computing a checksum on the Image.
-
- Include an ELF note section in the image for out of band
- information (checksum, program name, etc).
-
-* 1.9 7 January 2002
- I changed LinuxBIOS (in LinuxBIOS) from passing it's information
- locally, to passing it in a global table that is always present.
- So that whoever needs that information can get it unfiltered. And
- because it isn't being passed around it has less chance of
- becomming corrupt. Globals for global information are good :)
- Version 1.9 goes out and finds that table.
-
-* 1.8 10 December 2001
- Move the ramdisk up even higher in memory.
- Better debugging of multiboot parameters
- Pass the correct values for a vga screen instead of telling the
- kernel we have EGA...
-
-* 1.7 18 May 2001
- Warn when I don't have information about the bootloader.
- Include a ELF compreressor that works on alpha && x86
- There is no good way to apply it though.
-
-* 1.6 1 Febuary 2001
- Code cleanup in bzImage support.
-
-* 1.5 1 Febuary 2001
- Add support for bzImage
-
-* 1.4 ???
- ???
-
-* 1.3 27 December 2000
- Minor bug fixes for working with the e820 memory map.
-
-* 1.2 18 December 2000
- Work around for some versions of ld not treating /dev/null and an
- empty file the same
-
-* 1.1 30 November 2000
- Fix for ramdisks and large amounts of memory with 2.2 series
- kernels.
-
-* 1.0 7 November 2000
- Initial release (supports vmlinux && bvmlinux)
