Hi!
Starting with revision 1910, latest version of GRUB uses the newly added
Multiboot support in coreboot. If you're using GRUB on coreboot, when you
update to the latest GRUB mind that you also have to be using a recent
version of coreboot.
The main advantage this provides, is that you can now test how will GRUB
for coreboot work on your hardware without having to flash it, and without
having to worry about "bricking" the board. E.g. from GRUB 2:
grub> multiboot /grub.elf
grub> boot
and from GRUB Legacy:
grub> kernel /grub.elf
grub> boot

The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and
how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
