I'm happy to announce the release of GRUB 0.91. This is the second of
our prereleases leading up to GRUB 1.0. We encourage you to try it, as
we have done a lot of bugfixes and feature enhancement since the
previous release.

The source and binary distributions are available from
<URL:ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/>.

Send any questions, ideas, bug reports to <bug-grub@gnu.org>.

Here is the relevant NEWS:

New in 0.91:
* Support for Linux DAC960 is added.
* JFS and XFS support is added.
* The commands "hide" and "unhide" support logical partitions.
* The utility ``grub-install'' supports NetBSD.
* The network support is updated to Etherboot-5.0.5.
* The manner of handling the preset menu changes. In the previous
  implementation, the preset menu is used only when opening the
  configuration file failed. Now try to use the preset menu first. And,
  if the configuration file is available, it is read after readoing the
  preset menu. In this case, menu entries in the preset menu (if any)
  are overrided by the configuration file.
* Diskless support is a bit changed. In the previous, GRUB set up a
  network automatically via a special function. In the current, the
  function is gone and the preset menu feature is used (i.e. just
  execute the command "bootp" as if you specified it in the preset
  menu). This has no impact against most users, but you should take care
  if using the preset menu for your own purpose, because GRUB doesn't
  call "bootp" implicitly when the preset menu is used explicitly. In
  this case, you would probably need to insert commands to initialize a
  network into your preset menu.
* Important bugfixes are made for ReiserFS, APM, TFTP, LBA, etc.

Thanks,
Okuji
