Ability to choose one of first 10 menu items by 0-9 keys was pushed into git master today. Behaviour is controlled by --enable-numkeys configure option. Note that this option is enabled by default. Now you may select menu items even without any user interface (in headless mode e.g.). Menu items are enumerated from 0 (first/top item) to 9. So to enter 'System menu' just press 0 in main menu. Then press 0 again to go back to main menu.

To change FB UI size limits you was needed to alter defines LYT_MAX_WIDTH/LYT_MAX_HEIGHT in res/theme.h file. Now that defines are removed. You may use --enable-fbui-width/--enable-fbui-height configure options to specify max width/height of FB UI in pixels. By default no limits are used, so kexecboot FB UI will use full screen.

Kexecboot got simple text-mode user interface. So now you can use kexecboot without framebuffer.
Other frequently asked feature that was implemented is ability to have multiple kernels per partition on device. Now boot.cfg may have multiple sections that are delimited by KERNEL parameter. Read how to write config file for details.

Today I have merged large set of changes into master. Now we have nice oxygen icons and terminus font (ter-u16n) in tree. Major rework of menu and icons code was done. And now we have icons in system menu finally!

We are glad to present 'oxygen' grayscale and color icon themes for kexecboot new UI. It will be pushed to git soon. As you may understand icons are converted from KDE4's 'Oxygen' theme.

We have added new configure option --enable-delay. This option allow to configure delay before devices scanning in compile time. This is workaround mostly for slow CF/SD initialization. One time kexecboot will behave like udev/mdev does.

We have done small 'pre-new-year' code cleanup. Note, that all --with-* configure options now are converted to --enable-* syntax.
Also we are glad to say about kexecboot version bump to 0.5.8 in preparation to 0.6 release! Check our site for news in new year!
