  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Increment PALO version in lib/common.h.

palo (0.94) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add support for symlinks so we can reference /boot/vmlinux in palo.conf
    and not have to rerun palo on every kernel upgrade.(Richard Hirst)
  * Move iplboot into /usr/share/palo. (Richard Hirst)
  * Only generate iplboot if building on hppa machines. debian-cd needs
    PALO, and is likely to be run on i386. (Richard Hirst)
  * --bootloader now defaults to /usr/share/palo/iplboot, so it is usually
    not required. Adjust documents slightly to accomodate.
  * Add postinstall/prerm scripts to handle changed iplboot location.

palo (0.93) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix boot loader "guess" logic to be smarter on dual-width-capable
    machines when only one kernel is available.
  * Remove a couple of gratuitous printfs.
  * Archive link PALO. Not a bad idea otherwise but required because
    dpkg-shlibdeps started whining. I'm sure I'll get grief for this.

palo (0.92) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove SOM loader code.
  * If the user hasn't specified one, PALO/ipl adds the correct console=
    to the command line based on whether the boot console is full
    (ttyS0, serial) or half (tty0, graphics) duplex. Also adds sti=
    and sti_font= if they're missing.
  * PALO header version is now 3. Can store both a 32 and a 64-bit kernel
    in the F0/sequential/CDROM formats.
  * When booting from F0/sequential/CDROM PALO guesses the 32/64-ness
    by asking firmware if the user doesn't specify 0/vmlinux64 or 0/vmlinux32.
    On boxes which support both 32 and 64, 32 is chosen.
  * If no TERM= in kernel cmd line, when guessing serial/sti, add TERM=vt102
    for former and TERM=linux for latter.
  * Print boot command line even in non-interactive mode.
  * Place kernels and ramdisks on 2k boundaries on sequential media to help
    avoid reverse seeks during boot.

palo (0.91) unstable; urgency=high

  * Fix check which causes some narrow IPL loads to fail.

 -- Paul Bame <bame@debian.org>  Tue, 29 May 2001 11:39:23 -0600

palo (0.90) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add support for calling PDC/IODC in wide mode (i.e., for
    Superdome). PALO ipl continues to run in narrow mode on all
    platforms, except that PDC/IODC calls are made in the mode
    that ipl was started in.

palo (0.89) unstable; urgency=high

  * PALO can now prepare disks >2G on 32-bit kernels, even though it
    is not using large file I/O calls, which are not useful yet
    anyway. Fixes bugs.parisc-linux.org #125.
  * Fix bugs.parisc-linux.org #89.

 -- Paul Bame <bame@debian.org>  Fri, 11 May 2001 19:07:18 -0600

palo (0.88) unstable; urgency=high

  * Fix several lintian bugs by uncommenting 2 lines in debian/rules.
  * No longer ship /etc/palo.conf as config file -- expect installer
    to provide one now. Example in /usr/share/doc/palo. Should have
    some post-install magic to offer to run palo if /etc/palo.conf
    exists, and a complaint if /etc/palo.conf doesn't exist because
    you should have one from running the installer.
  * Change palo to a native Debian package since it's maintained
    as one.

 -- Paul Bame <bame@debian.org>  Fri, 11 May 2001 16:07:18 -0600

palo (0.86-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Probably required to support later non-0xc0100000 kernels.

 -- Paul Bame <paul_bame@hp.com>  Wed, 14 Feb 2001 15:22:45 -0700

palo (0.85-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Initial Release.
