An anonymous reader writes "After being in development for more than a decade, GRUB2 was released today as stable. The mailing list announcement covers new features including a standard theme, support for new file-systems, ports to new CPU architectures, new driver coverage, better EFI support, and many other new features that have materialized over the years of development to succeed GRUB Legacy."

    The amusing thing about this is, with secure boot coming out GRUB2 will probably be tossed out in favour of a boot loader with a more liberal license. Ubuntu has already stated they are dropping GRUB2, I imagine other distros will follow in the next few years.
