We were shipping v0.9.9, which was tagged 10/2009. There's been a gpxe
v1.0.0 release since then, plus the split between ipxe and gpxe. I
think Michael is hoping to have a release soon, but the code feels
pretty stable to me as is.
I've tested external booting from dhcp/tftp server for all the NICs.
I'll make a pass through testing with the builtin server and report
back. Thanks,
Alex
