Hello Everyone,
I am pleased to announce the release of gPXE 1.0.1.
This release represents 4 months of diligent work by many members of
the Etherboot Project community, and we are very grateful for the
quantity and quality of contributions we have received, as well as
the code review, debugging, and testing provided by so many people.
In addition to those whose names appear in the change log below, we wish
to thank all the people on the gPXE mailing lists and on our IRC
channels who have helped us to make gPXE better.
We would also like to thank everyone who has added to or edited our
wiki. We would like to particularly thank people who have contributed
appnotes:
http://etherboot.org/wiki/appnotes
These notes have proven extremely valuable to people who are trying to
apply gPXE to real world situations. Good documentation is something we
value, and so we appreciate people taking the time to share their hard
won knowledge with everyone. Quite often people will update the wiki
after working on IRC on a problem and figuring it out with help from
others.
Code and community are two things we care deeply about, and I'm happy to
say that both are doing well. We look forward to preparing for our next
release and to working together as a community to make it happen.
Many Thanks and Best Regards,
/ Marty /
