The -pre2 version of HDT 0.3.6 is out.

Gert was a great source of motivation for making that -pre2.
He found many bugs and gave nice ideas.
Thanks Gert for your time and your _many_ tests.

This release will be more or less what will be included in the incoming 
syslinux 3.84.

Since -pre1, here come the Changelog

     * Reporting CPU L1 & L2 cache
     * Report "Hw.Virt" in cpu detection if the cpu supports vmx or svm
     * Fixing memory detection under the cli mode
     * Adding cpu core detection
     * Adding more cpu flags
     * Display an error message if no disk is present while using the 
disk mode.
     * Clearing screen didn't reset the cursor position to 0x0
     * User can switch from vesa to text mode via "vesa>enable" and 
"vesa>disable"
     * Adding a simple menu for the provided floppy & iso images
     * Adding "novesa" command for future use
     * Reworking CLI's history mode to avoid corruption
     * The installed memory size is now detected even if no dmi table is 
present
     * Memory menu is shown even if no memory bank got detected
     * Fixing grub2 detection
     * User can override the background image in vesa mode via the 
"vesa=<file>" option
