RFC2560 mandates that a valid OCSP response will contain exactly one
relevant certificate. However, some OCSP responders include
extraneous certificates. iPXE currently assumes that the first
certificate in the OCSP response is the relevant certificate; OCSP
checks will therefore fail if the responder includes the extraneous
certificates before the relevant certificate.
Fix by using the responder ID to identify the relevant certificate.

Extend the syntax for numerical SMBIOS settings from
smbios/<type>.<offset>.<length>
to
smbios/[<instance>.]<type>.<offset>.<length>
Where SMBIOS provides multiple structures with the same <type>, this
extended syntax allows for access to structures other than the first.
If <instance> is omitted then it will default to zero, giving access
to the first instance (and so matching existing behaviour).
The 16-bit SMBIOS handle (which is an alternative way to disambiguate
multiple instances of the same type of structure) can be accessed, if
required, using
smbios/<instance>.<type>.2.2:uint16

When iPXE is used as a UEFI driver, the UEFI PXE base code currently
provides the TCP/IP stack, network protocols, and user interface.
This represents a substantial downgrade from the standard BIOS iPXE
user experience.

initiates the standard iPXE boot procedure. This upgrades the UEFI
iPXE user experience to match the standard BIOS iPXE user experience.

Expose iPXE's images as a UEFI file system, allowing the booted image
to access all images downloaded by iPXE.
This functionality is complementary to the custom iPXE download
protocol. The iPXE download protocol allows a booted image to utilise
iPXE to download arbitrary URIs, but requires the booted image to
specifically support the custom iPXE download protocol. The new
functionality limits the booted image to accessing only files that
were already downloaded by iPXE (e.g. as part of a script), but can
work with any generic UEFI image (e.g. the UEFI shell). Both
protocols are provided simultaneously, and are attached to the SNP
device handle.

The PXE TFTP API allows the caller to request a particular TFTP block
size. Since mid-2008, iPXE has appended a "?blksize=xxx" parameter to
the TFTP URI constructed internally; nothing has ever parsed this
parameter. Nobody seems to have cared that this parameter has been
ignored for almost five years.
Fix by using xfer_window(), which provides a fairly natural way to
convey the block size information from the PXE TFTP API to the TFTP
protocol layer.

TLS servers are not obliged to implement the RFC3546 maximum fragment
length extension, and many common servers (including OpenSSL, as used
in Apache's mod_ssl) do not do so. iPXE may therefore have to cope
with TLS records of up to 16kB. Allocations for 16kB have a
non-negligible chance of failing, causing the TLS connection to abort.
Fix by maintaining the received record as a linked list of I/O
buffers, rather than a single contiguous buffer. To reduce memory
pressure, we also decrypt in situ, and deliver the decrypted data via
xfer_deliver_iob() rather than xfer_deliver_raw().

When fetching a named setting using a name that does not explicitly
specify a type, default to using the type stored when the setting was
created, rather than always defaulting to "string". This allows the
behaviour of user-defined settings to match the behaviour of
predefined settings (which have a sensible default type).
For example:
set server:ipv4 192.168.0.1
echo ${server}
will now print "192.168.0.1", rather than trying to print out the raw
IPv4 address bytes as a string.
The downside of this change is that existing tricks for printing
special characters within scripts may require (backwards-compatible)
modification. For example, the "clear screen" sequence:
set esc:hex 1b
set cls ${esc}[2J
echo ${cls}
will now have to become
set esc:hex 1b
set cls ${esc:string}[2J # Must now explicitly specify ":string"
echo ${cls}

Almost all clients of the raw-packet interfaces (UNDI and SNP) can
handle only Ethernet link layers. Expose an Ethernet-compatible link
layer to local clients, while remaining compatible with IPoIB on the
wire. This requires manipulation of ARP (but not DHCP) packets within
the IPoIB driver.
This is ugly, but it's the only viable way to allow IPoIB devices to
be driven via the raw-packet interfaces.

iPXE currently aligns all I/O buffers on a 2kB boundary. This is
overkill for transmitted packets, which are typically much smaller
than 2kB.

buffers will never cross boundaries that might cause problems for some

iPXE has no concept of the local time zone, mainly because there is no
viable way to obtain time zone information in the absence of local
state. This causes potential problems with newly-issued certificates
and certificates that are about to expire.

certificate validity periods, similar to the error margin already
allowed for OCSP response timestamps.

FCoE requires the use of multiple local unicast link-layer addresses.
To avoid the complexity of managing multiple addresses, iPXE operates
in promiscuous mode. As a consequence, any unicast packets with
non-matching IPv4 addresses are rejected at the IPv4 layer (rather
than at the link layer).
This can cause problems when issuing a second DHCP request: if the
address chosen by the DHCP server does not match the existing address,
then the DHCP response will itself be rejected.
Fix by requesting a broadcast response from the DHCP server if the
network interface already has any IPv4 addresses.
