I'm happy to announce the release of GRUB 0.94. This is the fifth 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 <address@hidden> or 
<http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=grub>.

Here is the relevant NEWS:

New in 0.94 - 2004-01-25:
* Support building on x86-64 with gcc -m32.
* Use a BIOS call to turn on/off Gate A20. This should solve various
  problems related to Gate A20 in modern BIOSes.
* Add a workaround for buggy BIOSes (notably HP Vectra series) which
  don't pass the boot drive correctly.
* Display "GNU GRUB" instead of "GRUB" in the menu.
* Add support for QNX RTP into the grub shell.
* Add support for the initrd max address of a kernel header in Linux.
* Support 32 bit and 64 bit dev_t.
* Add support for an install device in GRUB's notation with no
  parenthesis (e.g. grub-install hd0).
* Improve the manual a lot.

Thanks,
Okuji
