Changelog since last Debian release (0.5.1):

* Wed Nov 9 2005 Matt Domsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- released v0.5.2.2 as v0.5.3, no changes
  
* Thu Aug 11 2005 Matt Domsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- applied patch from Rogerio Timmers which adds a new option -@ <file>,
  which takes extra variable parameters from <file>, or - from stdin.
  This lets you pass binary (non-unicode, non-ascii) formatted options
  to your bootloader.
- cleaned up Rogerio's patch some.
- moved definition of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 into Makefile and out of
the individual .c files.  This fixes a bug reported by Red Flag, where
variable data was getting incorrectly set with a 32-bit copy of
efibootmgr on a 32-bit kernel.

- made efi_variable_t.DataSize be an unsigned long to match the
kernel.  This lets a 32-bit copy of efibootmgr run on a 32-bit kernel.
This means you've got to have a 32-bit efibootmgr on a 32-bit kernel,
and a 64-bit efibootmgr on a 64-bit kernel, but since efi_status_t is
also a long, this was really going to be the case anyway.

- valgrind caught the app exiting without freeing some malloc'd
  structures, fix that.
- v0.5.2.2 released for testing 


* Fri May 20 2005 Matt Domsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- applied patch from Andreas Schwab to properly parse PCI
  domain:bus:device.fn info in netboot entries.  Fixed up return value
  when creating network boot entries for nonexistant devices, so the
  creation now fails, rather than succeeding with incorrect data.
- v0.5.2 released
