Because this release adds a number of drivers and features and many bug
fixes, everyone is encouraged to download and test it.

I would like to particularly thank:

    Shao Miller (sjm13)
    John Hawley (warthog9)
    H. Peter Anvin (hpa)
    Daniel Verkamp (drv)
    Thomas Miletich (meteger)
    Joshua Oreman (rwcr)

for their their very generous contributions to this release and ongoing
commitment to creating excellent network booting software.

Thanks also to everyone on our IRC channel #etherboot on
irc.freenode.net for your help debugging issues, and for your general
good humor.

Creating Free and Open Source Software is very much about code and
community, and we are fortunate to have excellent quality in both.

Please test this release and let us know how things go.

Many Thanks and Best Regards,

Marty
