This free software boot-loader used by nearly all Linux distributions these days as well as other operating systems has seen quite a few changes built up over the past 20 months to put in a more usable, modern-day form. GRUB 1.97 brings password protection support, support for RAID 4/6/10, various new GRUB commands, high-resolution timer support, Cygwin support, x86_64 EFI support, support for loading FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD kernels, and support for EXT4, AFS, and UDF file-systems.
The release announcement for GRUB 1.97 can be found on the GNU grub-devel mailing list while the extensive list of changes can be found in the attached news file.
