我不是grub的开发者，但和他们联系比较多，他们希望我可以联系到grub4all和grub4dos的作者。下面附上他们邮件的原文，由于地域和语言的差异，他们对这两个项目的了解可能不是很正确，但还是希望grub4dos和grub4all的开发者和他们联系，并一同为Grub 0.95发行新的Patch。

First of all, I would like to thank all the contributors of Grub for their great work and for making this new release available. Good Job !!!
But I was really hoping to see some patches as part of the Grub-0.95 release.
The code divergence of these patches from the original release make them now incompatible with each other and the merge looks like very painful.
Each one of them bring a lot of new great features that I really would like to have integrated within a single grub release.
Here is some of the patches I am talking about:
1) The Network patch by Hans-Peter Jansen and Feng Shuo:
"https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=9408"
which adds an updated set of drivers to the Grub network boot capability.
Most of the new network adapters (like gigabit) are part of this patch.
Known bug: ARP or unsolicited UDP traffic stops the GRUB TFTP download:
"https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=9245"
It should be fixed soon by Feng Shuo.
2) Grub4dos and Grub4all which allow to boot grub from DOS (grub.exe) and from the NT/XP boot loader (boot.ini+grldrstart+grldr) respectively.
Grub4Dos is done by "Tinybit" from China and also integrates some very nice floppy/disk image mapping and emulation boot features (instead of the memdisk kernel) and you can get it from here: "http://newdos.yginfo.net/grubdos.htm"
Grub4all is done by "Gandalf" and adds the fsys_ntfs.c to Grub4dos for the NT support:
"https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=9180"
What would be best way to get a new release including all these great features ?
Any suggestion ?
Thanks, Gilles
