I'm now working on the 5.4.1 release, and will give details as I go.

I've done a preliminary high-level diff, and it looks like this:

===================================================================

Only in etherboot-5.4.0/contrib/mkffwnb: 2.9.13

   This is a floppy firewall rc file.  OK.

===================================================================

Files etherboot-5.4.0/index-berlios.html and etherboot-5.4.1/index- 
berlios.html differ
Files etherboot-5.4.0/index.html and etherboot-5.4.1/index.html differ

   These two are just some web page things.  OK.

===================================================================

Files etherboot-5.4.0/LOG and etherboot-5.4.1/LOG differ

   Expected.  Thanks to people for updating LOG as they made  
changes.  OK.

===================================================================

Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/arch/armnommu/Config and etherboot-5.4.1/ 
src/arch/armnommu/Config differ
Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/arch/armnommu/core/serial.c and  
etherboot-5.4.1/src/arch/armnommu/core/serial.c differ
Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/arch/armnommu/drivers/net/p2001_eth.c and  
etherboot-5.4.1/src/arch/armnommu/drivers/net/p2001_eth.c differ
Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/arch/armnommu/include/hardware.h and  
etherboot-5.4.1/src/arch/armnommu/include/hardware.h differ
Only in etherboot-5.4.0/src/arch/armnommu/include: lxt971a.h
Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/arch/armnommu/include/stdint.h and  
etherboot-5.4.1/src/arch/armnommu/include/stdint.h differ

   These are the updates for the arm architecture to make it work in  
5.4.x. OK.

===================================================================

Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/arch/e1/include/stdint.h and  
etherboot-5.4.1/src/arch/e1/include/stdint.h differ
Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/arch/i386/include/stdint.h and  
etherboot-5.4.1/src/arch/i386/include/stdint.h differ
Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/arch/ia64/include/stdint.h and  
etherboot-5.4.1/src/arch/ia64/include/stdint.h differ

    This is stuff like:
         typedef unsigned char      uint8_t;
         typedef unsigned short     uint16_t;
         typedef unsigned long      uint32_t;
         typedef unsigned long long uint64_t;
    Which is duplicated all over the place, and need not be. OK.

===================================================================

Only in etherboot-5.4.1/src/bin: .keepme
Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/bin/NIC and etherboot-5.4.1/src/bin/NIC differ
Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/bin/Roms and etherboot-5.4.1/src/bin/Roms  
differ

    This is expected.  New ROM types were added during some driver  
updates. OK.

===================================================================

Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/Config and etherboot-5.4.1/src/Config differ

    Some new Config options. OK.

===================================================================

Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/core/nic.c and etherboot-5.4.1/src/core/ 
nic.c differ

    Minor updates. OK.

===================================================================

Files etherboot-5.4.0/src/core/osloader.c and etherboot-5.4.1/src/ 
core/osloader.c differ

    This was the patch for some kernel corruption we backed out. OK.

So far so good.  I'm now going to the mailing list, and look at  
messages since 2 April 2005 to see if there are patches that are not  
yet applied to production that should be.

Please look over the patches, and let me know if I miss anything.

Thanks,

Marty
