Log Message:
Upgrade to GRUB 2.00.

Changes from 1.99 to 2.00:

* Appearence:
  * Official theme for gfxmenu (starfield)
  * Menu is organised with submenus.
  * Better default video mode selection using EDID.

* New platforms:
  * Itanium port.
  * Fuloong2F support (including GRUB as firmware)
  * Fuloong2E support (except GRUB as firmware)
  * ARCS (SGI machines) port.
  * qemu -M mips port.

* grub-mount to mount filesystems using GRUB FS drivers and FUSE.

* Changed security default so entries are locked by default if any superuser is
  defined. 

* New drivers:
  * EHCI.
  * AHCI.
  * ESCC serial.
  * IEEE1275 serial.
  * EFI serial.
  * Network stack for BIOS, IEEE1275, EMU and EFI, including TFTP, HTTP and DNS.
  * VBE on coreboot support.

* New filesystem, filters and disks formats:
  * DVH partition map.
  * Plan9 partition map.
  * Big-endian mdraid.
  * Big-endian cpio.
  * ODC and NEWC cpio.
  * ExFAT.
  * Minix3fs.
  * Big-endian minixfs.
  * RomFS.
  * Squash4.
  * Support non-512B disk blocks.
  * LUKS and GELI support.
  * LDM read support (no install yet).
  * LZOP.

* Improved filesystem and disks formats support:
  * HFS+ label support.
  * Improved reiserfs support.
  * multidevice, mirrored and raidz(2,3) ZFS support.
  * RAID LVM (internal RAIDing) support.
  * ZFS crypto support.
  * ZLE and GZIP on ZFS support.
  * Support ZFS up to 33.
  * HFS string is now treated like mac-roman and not UTF-8
  * HFS mtime support.
  * Improved AFFS and SFS support.
  * LZO-compressed btrfs support.
  * cpio and tar symlinks support.
  * Better FS detection to reduce false positives.

* New boot protocols:
  * Ability to load another coreboot payload when on coreboot.
  * Plan9.
  * Freedos.
  * Ntldr/bootmgr (to load Windows bootloader).
  * chainloader --bpb support to patch FAT or NTFS BPB in memory to correct
    wrong partition offset.
  * PXE chainloading support.
  * Darwin 11 (Mac OS X Lion) protocol support.

* Boot protocol improvements:
  * Multiple initrd support.
  * Basic illumos and xnu autoconfig.

* Testing and debugging:
  * New grub-fstest commands: cat, zfsinfo, testload xnu_uuid
  * grub-fstest recursive directory compare for quickly checking that
    a directory is read correctly.
  * Backtace on crash (if gdb module is loaded, x86 only)
  * Disk cache statistics gathering.
  * GDB stub and GDB support script.
  * "make check" and "make bootcheck" expanded to almost all platforms
    (except i386-ieee1275, mips-arc, sparc64-ieee1275, ia64-efi and emu)
  * New `time' command.

* Performance:
  * Lazy scanning to avoid accessing devices which aren't really used.
    This avoids boot delay due to slow device scanning.
  * Use CPU cache when accessing video memory.
  * Search hints to first try the most likely device when searching for a
    device with given UUID. This avoids slow scanning in most cases.

* Internationalisation:
  * Updated to Unicode 6.0.
  * $"..." syntax for translation in grub scripting language. This allows easy
    translation of grub.cfg at runtime.
  * Translations to many languages included in official distribution.

* Scripting:
  * $grub_cpu and $grub_platform variables for conditioning grub.cfg on platform
    at runtime.
  * $feature_* variables to condition scripts on available features.
  * Use of ids to identify menu entries.
  * all_video module which is empty but depends on all video modules thus
    allowing easy loading of all of them.

* Installation:
  * grub-mknetdir script for easy creation of netbootable GRUB directory.
  * Itanium and mips support in grub-mkrescue.
  * grub-install support for all platforms except emu.
  * PreP partition install support.
  * No files conflict between flavours (except grub-mkrescue for ppc). This
    allows easy install of GRUB for several platforms.
  * grub-mkstandalone script for easy creating of image including all modules
    for platforms with generous limit on image size.
  * program-transform-name now functions according to usual conventions.
    Use --grubdir and --bootdir to get old behaviour.

* ADLER32 and CRC64 support (for XZ and hashsum).

* ofconsole renamed to console

* Experimental support for compiling with Apple toolchain.

* grub-mkdevicemap removed. Now all devices are detected on invocation of
  any grub utility.
