  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-22ubuntu1.2) vivid-proposed; urgency=low
    
      [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
      * debian/build-efi-images: look for grub.cfg in $cmdpath too in gcdx64.efi,
        to simplify embedded scenarios: putting a grub.cfg snippet that loads the
        right "real" grub.cfg can be useful. (LP: #1468111)

  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-22ubuntu1.1) vivid; urgency=medium
    
      * Do not hang headless servers indefinitely on boot after edge case power
        failure timing (LP: #1443735). Instead, time out after 30 seconds and boot
        anyway, including on non-headless systems.

  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-22) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      * Make grub-common's Suggests on grub-emu architecture-specific, to
        quieten debcheck.
      * Remove unnecessary feature test macros from hostfs, to fix building with
        glibc 2.20.
      * Backport from upstream:
        - Fix UEFI boot failure with some firmware that returns incorrect paths
          (closes: #735960).

  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-21) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
      * Fix overlap check in check_blocklists for load_env (backported patch
        from upstream commit 1f6af2a9; LP: #1311247).
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * Add support for running a 64-bit Linux kernel on a 32-bit EFI (closes:
        #775202).
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Use mtmsr rather than mtmsrd in ppc64el-disable-vsx.patch, since the
        "VSX Available" bit is in the lower half of the MSR anyway, and mtmsrd
        faults on 32-bit systems (closes: #776400).

      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Generate alternative init entries in advanced menu (closes: #757298,
        #773173).
      * When configuring grub-pc, copy unicode.pf2 to /boot/grub/ even if
        /boot/grub/grub.cfg does not exist yet; this matches the behaviour of
        grub-efi-* (thanks, Luca Capello; closes: #617196).

      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Fix up some pointer-to-integer casts in linuxefi so that it can build on
        i386-efi.
      * Backport from upstream:
        - Fix typo (gettext_print instead of gettext_printf) (LP: #1390766).
    
      [ Ian Campbell ]
      * Correct syntax error in grub-xen-host bootstrap configuration file.
      * Log failure when grub-install fails in postinst, rather than failing the
        entire postinst. (Closes: #770412)
      * Arrange to insmod xzio and lzopio when booting a kernel as a Xen guest.

      * Disable nvram installation again on chrp_ibm machines that are emulated
        by qemu; that doesn't have nvram devices so the nvram utility inevitably
        fails.
