I'd like to thank Pierre & Gert for their wonderful work on this release.

Pierre for the great features & Gert for his QA and inputs.

Biggest changes since 0.3.4 are :
- Bootloader & mbr detection
- Cmenu now uses the libansi
- Adding & enhancing SMI detection
- Inactive items are now brighter to improve readibility
- Reboot
If your system features the reboot.c32 module, the "reboot" command will
restart your computer.
The floppy/iso images we provides includes this module to enable this
feature.

- Automatic Commands
When starting HDT, you can specifiy a new auto='<cmd1;cmd2,cmd3>' option.
This option will automaticaly runs commands cmd1;cmd2;cmd3 in this order
and then fallback to the CLI.
It can be used to run automatic diagnostic when booting HDT.

auto='show summary'
This example will show the summary and the enter the CLI.

auto='show summary; exit'
This example will show the summary and the return to syslinux.

auto='show pci; show dmi; show syslinux; reboot'
This example will show the pci / dmi /syslinux output before rebooting

Be careful about the syntax, it should be :
auto=<quote>command<semicolon>command<quote>

The complete changelog can be found here :

Hope you'll enjoy this new features.

Note that the website isn't really up to date. I'm still working on it.
It still lacks of accurate/recent documentation.

Cheers,
Erwan
