-
-Changes in v1.7.7 (9/5/2002) (ekohl)
-
-- fs/iso.c: Got iso-fs working again.

-
-Changes in v1.7.6 (8/31/2002) (ekohl)

- cross a segment boundary.
-- freeldr.c, bootmgr.c, setupldr.c, makefile: Renamed
- LoadBootManager() and ReactOSRunSetupLoader() to RunLoader().
- Either bootmgr.o or setupldr.o is used to build freeldr.sys or
- setupldr.sys
-
-Changes in v1.7.5 (8/21/2002) (brianp)
-
-- biosvid.S (BiosVideoDisableBlinkBit): Added code to
- disable the blink bit in the text mode character
- attribute byte so that the full range of
- background colors can be used.
-
-Changes in v1.7.4 (8/20/2002) (brianp)
-
-- Boot sector code now reports to freeldr.sys the partition
- that it was installed on. This is specified by a byte
- value in the boot sector code. By default the boot partition
- is set to zero which indicates the active (bootable)
- partition, unless the installer sets the value to non-zero.
- If FreeLoader is installed on a partition other than
- the active (bootable) partition then the installer must
- set this byte to that partition number. Otherwise
- FreeLoader will not be able to find freeldr.ini.
-- i386trap.S: Added debug macros BREAKPOINT(),
- INSTRUCTION_BREAKPOINTX(), MEMORY_READWRITE_BREAKPOINTX(), &
- MEMORY_WRITE_BREAKPOINTX().
-- partition.c (DiskGetPartitionEntry): Add the relative offset
- of the extended partition to the partitions start sector.
-- ext2.c (Ext2ReadBlockPointerList, Ext2CopyIndirectBlockPointers,
- Ext2CopyDoubleIndirectBlockPointers, Ext2CopyTripleIndirectBlockPointers):
- Rewrote the block pointer functions so they actually work.
-- ini_init.c (IniFileInitialize, IniOpenIniFile): Looks for freeldr.ini
- on both the active (bootable) partition and the partition
- passed in from the boot sector code.
-- meminit.c (MmInitializeMemoryManager, MmFixupSystemMemoryMap,
- MmGetEndAddressOfAnyMemory, MmGetAddressablePageCountIncludingHoles,
- MmInitPageLookupTable): Fixed bug that would cause FreeLoader to
- have an off-by-one error when accessing the last entry in the
- page lookup table on systems with 4GB of memory (or memory mapped
- at the end of the address space).
-
-Changes in v1.7.2 (8/7/2002) (brianp)

-- Added functions __udivdi3 & __umoddi3 so that 64-bit division is now supported.
-- Changed types BYTE, WORD, DWORD, LONG, ULONG to U8, U16, U32, S32, U32
- so that you know the size of the variable across different
- architectures with different sized words & dwords, etc.
-- Types CHAR, UCHAR, PCHAR, PUCHAR, WCHAR, PWCHAR have not been
- changed yet (I haven't decided exactly how I'm going to handle unicode)

-- Fixed bug in FAT code, was also present in ISO-9660 code where
- it wasn't incrementing the buffer address correctly
