open development branch of filo. filo-0.5 is frozen (and obsolete)
It means we started putting FILO into maintained mode again, cleaning it up and moving it towards an 1.0 release.
The general idea is to make the code compact and simple and get rid of the "grabbed and plugged together" nature of the FILO source code.
Some of the new features:
- Kconfig based configuration (make menuconfig) - uses libpayload now, which allowed to drop quite some license header-less files (including a working USB/UHCI stack) - Windows CE support (Thanks, Artec!) - many small and not so small bug fixes
Some of the planned features:
- drop reliance on grub console code, use libpayload's tinycurses instead. - simple driver concept to allow plug-in boot device drivers without changing 10 different places in the code - merge Peter Stuge's multi block read patches
