Version 0.3.5.3 December 23, 2012
Minor changes to the documentation and sample files.
Version 0.3.5.2 November 29, 2012
Added code to C:\grub2\grub.cfg to accommodate Windows 8, which
sometimes needs to boot from a special “System Reserved” partition.
Documentation changes for Windows 8 boot.
Version 0.3.5.1 November 25, 2012
Minor GUI and documentation fixes.
Version 0.3.5.0 November 13, 2012
Added support for 22 languages.
The new language support increased the C:\grub2 directory size from 5 MB to 6 MB. Worth it I think.
The Spanish language file is missing from the GNU grub release code.
I’ll add Spanish support as soon as the file is available from GNU.
Refreshed all grub 2.00 modules to the latest build level.
Updated the Grub2Win install GUI to allow language customization.
Minor fixes to the GUI and documentation.
Version 0.3.4.0 October 6, 2012
Refreshed all grub 2.00 modules to the latest Suse build level.
Minor updates to the documentation and sample files.
Version 0.3.3.1 September 20, 2012
Minor updates to the documentation and sample files. Added instructions on how to uninstall Grub2Win.
Version 0.3.3.0 September 15, 2012
After a considerable amount of tweaking, I was able to get the latest release of grub2 - version 2.00 working under Windows XP and 2000. I have combined the projects so we no longer need a separate download for XP / 2000 users. Grub2Win should now work for everyone.
I still recommend that XP / 2000 users stick to character mode or static graphics.
Updated the documentation to reflect the consolidation of XP / 2000.
Version 0.3.2.3 September 12, 2012
Added a write-up on using partition label search for grub and fstab.
Version 0.3.2.2 September 2, 2012
Fixed minor typos in the documentation.
Version 0.3.2.1 August 9, 2012
Updated the install screenshots to reflect the new project name.
Version 0.3.2.0 August 5, 2012
Renamed the project. The new name is Grub2Win.
The new name better reflects the purpose of the project.
Changed the install scripts and documentation to reflect the new name.
Version 0.3.1.0 August 2, 2012
Changed the icons directory to C:\grub2\themes\icons via the icondir variable.
This did not work consistently with some previous versions of grub 2.
Increased the pixel dimensions of the OS icons so they look better at higher resolutions.
Version 0.3.0.2 August 1, 2012
Cleaned up a few typos in the documentation.
Fixed a couple of minor problems in the install interface window.
Version 0.3.0.1 July 19, 2012
I’ve split this project into two pieces:
Grub24dos for the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Vista environments
Grub2XP for the Windows XP / 2000 folks
You should download and run the version appropriate to your environment.
This was done because the newer versions of GNU grub do not work consistently when booted from the very old XP and 2000 loaders.
Therefore Grub2XP will run GNU grub 1.99 for the foreseeable future.
The user base for Grub24dos is now about 8,000 users worldwide.
Version 0.3.0.0 July 17, 2012
GNU has released the long awaited 2.00 version of grub 2.
I updated Grub24dos to this new version which has many enhancements.
The graphics run much faster in the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Vista environments.
Unfortunately it does not work at all when booted in the aging XP or 2000 environments.
There have been several structural changes with GNU grub 2.00.
The main directory is now C:\grub2 instead of C:\grub.
The dynamically loadable modules now reside in C:\grub2\i386-pc.
The graphical menus are much faster than previous releases and the product seems very solid overall.
Version 0.2.2.1 March 1, 2012
Added support for Windows 8.
This is the first update in a while. Grub24dos has been very stable.
Although the number of users is steadily increasing (currently about 4,000 worldwide), I have not had many requests for enhancements.
