iPXE will detect timeout failures in several situations: network
link-up, DHCP, TCP connection attempts, unacknowledged TCP data, etc.
This does not cover all possible circumstances. For example, if a
connection to a web server is successfully established and the web
server acknowledges the HTTP request but never sends any data in
response, then no timeout will be triggered. There is no timeout
defined within the HTTP specifications, and the underlying TCP
connection will not generate a timeout since it has no way to know
that the HTTP layer is expecting to receive data from the server.
Add a "--timeout" parameter to "imgfetch", "chain", etc. If no
progress is made (i.e. no data is downloaded) within the timeout
period, then the download will be aborted.

Add support for parsing of URIs containing literal IPv6 addresses
(e.g. "http://[fe80::69ff:fe50:5845%25net0]/boot.ipxe").
Duplicate URIs by directly copying the relevant fields, rather than by
formatting and reparsing a URI string. This relaxes the requirements
on the URI formatting code and allows it to focus on generating
human-readable URIs (e.g. by not escaping ':' characters within
literal IPv6 addresses). As a side-effect, this allows relative URIs
containing parameter lists (e.g. "../boot.php##params") to function
as expected.
Add validity check for FTP paths to ensure that only printable
characters are accepted (since FTP is a human-readable line-based
protocol with no support for character escaping).
Construct TFTP next-server+filename URIs directly, rather than parsing
a constructed "tftp://..." string,
Add self-tests for URI functions.

Remove the name, cmdline, and action parameters from imgdownload() and
imgdownload_string(). These functions now simply download and return
an image.
Add the function imgacquire(), which will interpret a "name or URI
string" parameter and return either an existing image or a newly
downloaded image.
Use imgacquire() to merge similar image-management commands that
currently differ only by whether they take the name of an existing
image or the URI of a new image to download. For example, "chain" and
"imgexec" can now be merged.
Extend imgstat and imgfree commands to take an optional list of
images.
Remove the arbitrary restriction on the length of image names.

Trusted images may always be executed. Untrusted images may be
executed only if the current image trust requirement allows untrusted
images.
Images can be marked as trusted using image_trust(), and marked as
untrusted using image_untrust().
The current image trust requirement can be changed using
image_set_trust(). It is possible to make the change permanent, in
which case any future attempts to change the image trust requirement
will fail.

All users of imgdownload() require registration of the image, so make
registration an integral part of imgdownload() itself and simplify the
"action" parameter to be one of image_select(), image_exec() et al.

These functions are used only as the "action" parameters to
imgdownload() or imgfetch(), and so belong in imgmgmt.c rather than
image.c

Refactor the {load,exec} image operations as {probe,exec}. This makes
the probe mechanism cleaner, eliminates some forward declarations,
avoids holding magic state in image->priv, eliminates the possibility
of screwing up between the "load" and "exec" stages, and makes the
documentation simpler since the concept of "loading" (as distinct from
"executing") no longer needs to be explained.

Allow the monojob controlling the download to complete before calling
register_image() and friends. This allows the trailing "ok" from
monojob.c to be printed before the image starts executing (and
possibly printing output of its own).

For performing installations direct to a SAN target, it can be very
useful to hook a SAN disk and then proceed to perform a filename boot.
For example, the user may wish to hook the (empty) SAN installation
disk and then boot into the OS installer via TFTP. This provides an
alternative mechanism to using "keep-san" and relying on the BIOS to
fall through to boot from the installation media, which is unreliable
on many BIOSes.
When a root-path is specified in addition to a boot filename, attempt
to hook the root-path as a SAN disk before booting from the specified
filename. Since the root-path may be used for non-SAN purposes
(e.g. an NFS root mount point), ignore the root-path if it contains a
URI scheme that we do not support.

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.
Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

Currently, handling of URI escapes is ad-hoc; escaped strings are
stored as-is in the URI structure, and it is up to the individual
protocol to unescape as necessary. This is error-prone and expensive
in terms of code size. Modify this behavior by unescaping in
parse_uri() and escaping in unparse_uri() those fields that typically
handle URI escapes (hostname, user, password, path, query, fragment),
and allowing unparse_uri() to accept a subset of fields to print so
it can be easily used to generate e.g. the escaped HTTP path?query
request.

If there is more than one loaded image, refuse to automatically select
the image to execute. There are at least two possible cases, with
different "correct" answers:
1. User loads image A by mistake, then loads image B and types "boot".
User wants to execute image B.
2. User loads image A, then loads image B (which patches image A), then
types "boot". User wants to execute image A.
If a user actually wants to load multiple images, they must explicitly
specify which image is to be executed.
took out the contract to eventually call efree() when it called fetch().
Maintain the most recently loaded image at the start of the list, so that
imgautoselect() will pick it.
