I'm happy to announce the release of GRUB 1.96. This is the seventh of our prereleases leading up to GRUB 2.0. We encourage you to try it, as we have done a significant amount of work towards GRUB 2. Note that this release is mainly for developers who are willing to contribute to our project. If you need a working solution immediately, you'd better to stick to GRUB Legacy at the moment.
The source distribution is available from <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/>. Send any questions, ideas, bug reports to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. For discussions about the development, to <grub-devel@gnu.org>. Here is the relevant NEWS: New in 1.96 - 2008-02-03: * The license term is changed to GNU General Public License Version 3. * grub-emu is made optional.
