+
+Since the last release, more than one year ago, quite a few changes have
+accumulated. The most important ones:
+
+ - compiles with 2.1 kernels
+ - is nice to NT
+ - almost arbitrary partition table manipulations are possible (that's
+   the successor of FIX_TYPE and HIDE_DOS)
+ - allows for non-US keyboard maps
+
+Given the large number of changes, this version should be considered as
+"beta" and be used with due precautions.
+
+I've attached the complete list of changes.

+
+Changes from version 19 to 20 (20-JUN-1996)
+-----------------------------
+
+  Boot loader
+  -----------
+
+    - now supports 19200 bps and 38400 bps on the serial line (UNTESTED)
+    - when reaching the end of the command line buffer, input is ignored
+      instead of being treated like [Enter] (by Martin Mares)
+    - fixed numerous bugs in patching of heap end pointer in setup.S (by Martin
+      Mares)
+    - images can now optionally be launched with a single keystroke (no [Enter]
+      required)
+    - now supports non-US keyboard layouts
+
+  Map installer
+  -------------
+
+    - DISK sections may now also define non-disk devices, e.g. /dev/ram
+    - increased debug level for the "Caching device ..." message
+    - changed the chain loader format to allow sizes > 512 Bytes
+    - chain loader now supports arbitrary drive mappings (option MAP-DRIVE)
+    - chain loader now supports arbitrary partition table modifications (option
+      CHANGE)
+    - removed the configuration option REWRITE-TABLE
+    - removed the build-time options FIX_TABLE and HIDE_DOS
+    - added the global configuration option CHANGE-RULES plus sub-options
+      RESET, TYPE, NORMAL, and HIDDEN
+    - OTHER sections have new configuration option CHANGE plus sub-options
+      PARTITION, SET, ACTIVATE, and DEACTIVATE
+    - OTHER sections have new configuration option MAP-DRIVE with sub-option TO
+    - now only 0x1b8 bytes of the boot sector are overwritten, which preserves
+      some magic numbers NT stores there
+    - compiles with 2.1 kernels (asm/boot.h problem - reported by many people)
+    - should also compile under 0.93 or such again (required NORMAL_VGA etc.,
+      which didn't exist back then)
+    - lilo -q  now prints unknown VGA modes also in hex (by Martin Mares)
+    - option SINGLE-KEY to allow single-key activation
+    - -Wno-parentheses  is no longer needed
+    - didn't complain if image label was equal to alias
+    - removed some ancient dead code
+    - new option KEYTABLE to specify non-standard keyboard mappings
+    - PS/2 ESDI disk (/dev/eda and /dev/edb) support (by Andrew Kroll)
+    - geometry.c:last_dev now only probes for the first two IDE disks
+    - because chain.b is used for everything anyway, specifying the chain
+      loader when booting from a driver other than the first one is no longer
+      mandatory
+
+  Documentation and installation
+  ------------------------------
+
+    - changed all references to nic.funet.fi to ftp.funet.fi
+    - updated the user's guide and did some restructuring (many changes)
+    - QuickInst no longer puts ramdisk=0 into lilo.conf
+    - QuickInst now consistently checks for LILO >= version 15
+    - make clean  and  make spotless  now also remove dump.s and dump.b (by
+      Martin Mares)
+    - changed package names from lilo[.part].<version> to
+      lilo[-part]-<version> for compatibility with sunsite's archive
+      maintenance scripts
+    - new tool keytab-lilo.pl to generate LILO keyboard tables
+    - updated t2a.pl to a version compatible with Perl 5
+    - READONLY implicitly turns off REWRITE_TABLE

+
+This release fixes a few comparably urgent problems:
+
+ - LINEAR sometimes mis-calculated addresses
+ - NT 4 failed to boot with "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" in some cases if
+   it didn't find a certain bit pattern in the MBR
+ - LILO's use of the address space below 0x100000 conflicts with some
+   recent MP systems (see option LARGE_EBDA)
+ - various minor problems with change rules
+
+Given the large number of changes, this version should be considered as
+experimental and should be used with due precautions.
+
+I've attached the complete list of changes.
+
+Note that I've queued several less critical changes and enhancements
+which are not part of this release. So if you sent me a patch and you
+don't find it here, this doesn't necessarily mean that I didn't like
+it. It may be a good idea to send it again, though ;-)

+Changes from version 20 to 21 (5-DEC-1998)
+-----------------------------
+
+  Boot loader
+  -----------
+
+    - cylinder calculation could overflow when using LINEAR (fix by Jonas
+      Aaberg and an anonymous contributor)
+    - first-stage loader code begins with the byte 0xFA (a CLI instruction).
+      This works around the "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" blue screen bug of
+      Windows NT 4 (reported by too many people to mention)
+    - new build-time option LARGE_EBDA to load boot loader in the 0x8xxxx area
+      instead of the 0x9xxxx area (disabled by default; problem reported by
+      Josef Moellers)
+
+  Map installer
+  -------------
+
+    - new build-time option USE_TMPDIR to honor TMPDIR when creating temporary
+      devices (disabled by default)
+    - now only 0x1b6 bytes of the boot sector are overwritten, which preserves
+      the passwords DR DOS stores there (fixed by Roy Millar)
+    - -u and -U accidently implied -v
+    - "BIOS drive 0xNN may not be accessible" warning was printed in cases
+       where the drive code was never used (fixed by Andries Brouwer)
+    - change rule for DOS16_big incorrectly used DOS16_small_hidden when
+      hiding (fixed by Anthony Richardson)
+    - RESET in CHANGE-RULES did not remove default rules (fixed by Kurt
+      Garloff)
+    - added support for Mylex DAC960 PCI RAID controllers (by Leonard Zubkoff)
+    - added support for third to sixth IDE interface
+    - build-time option READONLY was not used properly
+    - fixed a few harmless compiler warnings
+
+  Documentation and installation
+  ------------------------------
+
+    - user's guide claimed that partitions are hidden by setting the highest
+      bit in the type (i.e. 0x80). The correct value is 0x10, which is also
+      what is used in the code.
+    - removed useless (and potentially harmful) DEFAULT_PATH from
+      keytab-lilo.pl (fixed by Andries Brouwer)
+    - consistency of build-time options is now checked before build starts
+    - QuickInst has now limited knowledge of multi-disk configurations
+    - doc/Makefile: added targets user.ps and tech.ps
+    - user's guide still claimed that kernels can't be larger than 512 kB
+      (reported by Jean-Albert Ferrez)
+    - weird description of the purpose of option BEEP (reported by Tom Toffoli)
