++ Changes Jeremy Davis, Andrew Bird, Tee-Kiah Chia (tkchia), Sava (lpproj), 
+          Stas Sergeev (stsp), C. Masloch, Jiri Malak, Bernd Böckmann
+    * support determining kernel file version without booting it
+	* only print messages once, not each time processing partitions
+	* fix for Format GitHub issue #1 - format divide by 0 due to kernel function 440D, subfunction 60 returning a zero for logical_sectors_per_fat as initdisk overflows and calculates incorrect value
+	* From bzt, initialize drive parameter head & sector values to avoid potential divisions by 0
+	* config: allow to delete variable with empty SET command
+	* truename: fix array overrun (pick from fdpp)
+	* main: insure master environment starts out empty
+	* config: make sure word marker trailing in environment is zero
+	* inthndlr: align hma size to para
+	* DosGetExtFree: Use new redirector function 11a3
+	* sys: detect small FAT32 as FAT32 (zero in word SPF)
+	* boot: enable loading from file systems with 256 sectors per cluster
+	* fatfs.c: allow bpbSectorsPerCluster == 0 to mean 256
+	* FCB (int 21h func 29h): should not accept field separator as "drive letter"
+	* FCB (int 21h func 29h): should keep parsing name even if drive letter invalid
+	* exeflat: update usage screen with -E, -D, and -U switches
+	* upxentry, upxdevic: add header comments
+	* exeflat: improve compressed stub handling, fixes, update documentation, various other updates
+	* kernel: optimise A20 check and enable/disable calls
+	* improve/fix gcc and OpenWatcom build support
+	* task: return Invalid format on empty executable (fixes #70)
+	* fdkrncfg: bugfix, version info check should not include signature
+	* fix 2nd parameter of "DOS=" statement in config.sys does not take effect in some cases:
+	* dosfns, int2f: make SHARE uninstallable
+	* CI: improvements
+	* Fix incorrect date format for Czech and Slovak Republic. Both Countries use DD.MM.YYYY date format. Microsoft DOS also use this format.
+	* dosfns: Check share table before delete/rename
+	* various build updates and move share and country to submodules
+	* FCB: Rename should support asterisk wildcards - based on dosemu fdpp, fixes issue #43
+	* add tests for FCB rename - based on tests from andrewbird
+	* allow opening a character device prefixed with invalid drive letter (e.g. "@:NUL") but not with invalid path
+	* add test for opening character devices (all pass on DOS 5,6, NT VDM, @:dev fail currently on FD kernel)
+	* initial implementation of extended seek (0x7142 - LONG LSEEK with 64-bit file position)
+	* add implementation of int 0x2F function 0x1f build CDS from dosemu2/fdpp
+	* add skeleton for LFN API, includes 0x71a6 implementation (call to redirector only) from dosemu2/fdpp
+	* ensure offset to critical patch tables doesn't change
+	* From Tom Ehlert: don't split disk transfers crossing DMA boundary if BIOS indicates can handle transparently
+	* fcbfns: Fix for FcbFindFirstNext [fixes #40]
+	* task: don't zero parent_psp on 0x26
+	* boot, oemboot: fix to abort properly on file not found
+	* oemboot: optimise FAT12 entry loading (picked from lDOS boot)
+	* adjust padding to be same as in PC-DOS (90h/nop)
+	* from RBIL int 21h/4400h (table 01423) add definition for bit 11 if SFT is not for a device (for a file) - media not removable, currently unused
+	* from dosemu2/fdpp - zero out critical patch list Personal NetWare Server really writes to these addresses, so putting 0x0d0c the way DOS does, is not safe.
+	* int 21h/4400h only return low byte of SFT flags if not a device, part of dosemu2/fdpp bug #147 fix 
+	* check for unsupported function call in console - from dosemu2/fdpp bug# 101 fix 
+	* improve support for Windows 3 Enhanced mode

+    * from Mondgestein, Function 30h (Get DOS Version): Get DOS version from PSP 
+    * Fix func 36h (Get free disk space) fails in some redirectors:
+    * dosfns.c: only copy to current_ldt if pointer is valid
