• GRUB 2.0 Officially Released

    Vladimir Serbinenko announced today on the gnu mailing list the official release of Grub 2.00. Grub is arguably the best piece of software in the world for managing several operating systems at boot time.

    I'm proud to announce the release of GNU GRUB version 2.00. Since this version has a round number it has been paid special attention to, and hopefully, represents higher quality. This is the first time we include an official theme (starfield). This version also includes EHCI driver.

    This release is a very important one since it introduces the all-new EHCI driver, which Red-Hat and Canonical will be using to works itself onto forth-coming Microsoft certified hardware.

    This release widens support for more file-systems and disks than ever before, with improved handling of RAID, Apple’s aging HFS+ and various other encoding odds-and-ends. Increased support for encryption also attempts to catch some of the spotlight.
