NOTE: Version 1.6 has the same look and feel as version 1.5. No new screens= hots needed. This is a general cleanup with the below notable changes: 1. Change chkpassword.4th to query "password" environment variable instead = of "loader_password" (for backward compatibility) 2. Rename chkpasswd function in chkpassword.4th to check-password (for back= ward compatibility) 3. Rename chkpassword.4th to check-password.4th (for consistency) 4. Replace conflicting check-password function in /boot/loader.4th with "in= clude /boot/check-password.4th" 5. Remove conflicting password routines from /boot/support.4th 6. [Re-]Implement beastie-start in beastie.4th (for backward compatibility) 7. Replace loader.rc in the package with the default version provided on i3= 86-compatible installs 8. Remove default delay in loading /boot/menu.rc (still available by settin= g loader_delay in loader.conf(5) but disabled by default now) 9. Add $FreeBSD$ CVS keywords in preparation of commit to HEAD 10. Fix a couple typos in comments 11. Add support for autoboot_delay=3D"NO" or autoboot_delay=3D"-1" in menu.= 4th to disable the menu timeout 12. Add missing cleanup routine to menu-clear in menu.4th 13. Add the following manpages: /usr/share/man/man8/beastie.4th.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/brand.4th.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/check-password.4th.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/color.4th.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/delay.4th.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/menu.4th.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/version.4th.8.gz 14. Update loader.conf.5 manpage to include documentation on new loader_log= o values (``orb'' and ``orbbw''), also documenting the new default (orbbw).
