LILO release 22.3.1 is based upon Werner Almesberger's LILO version 21.

Version 22.3.1 is a minor update to version 22.3.

o  Change-rule bugfix in chain loader
o  Cosmetic changes to 'lilo -T ebda' output
o  Source distribution support for booting arbitrary binaries (pseudo.b)


Version 22.3 is a major update to version 22.2.

o  The distribution consists of /sbin/lilo ONLY; all *.b files are
   incorporated within this file (builtin).
o  A bitmap file header editor is incorporated (-E flag).
o  The map file unifies the second stage, chain, message file, and bitmap
   files.
o  -E, -F, and -B flags are added (see man pages).
o  Chain loader will now pass a command line to a second LILO installation.
o  Boot protocol 0203h is now supported.  "large-memory" option added to
   force initial ramdisk loading to highest memory.
o  "vga=" on command line allows any radix input.


Versions 22.2, 22.1, 22.0 are major updates to version 21.

o  LVM support is added.
o  Password CRC-32 polynomials are superceded by 160-bit SHS digests,
   which are cryptographically secure.
o  RAID1 codes are updated to fix a problem encountered on skewed raid
   installations in booting "other=" sections.
o  Compilation option allows for specification of more kernels.
o  A graphical user interface using VGA 640x480x16 (mode 0x12) is added.
o  Secure passwords are implemented using four CRC-32 polynomials.
o  RAID1 codes are completely re-written, and correctly implement 'lock',
   'fallback', and "lilo -R ..."

THE NEW RAID1 IMPLEMENTATION IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH VERSION 21.

Those using version 21 should read 'README.raid1' before installing these
new codes.  There is a compatibility mode (lilo -x mbr-only) for existing
RAID1 installations which are not going to be converted to the Version 22
implementation.
