11+ Version 1.4.1 (2025-01-18)
12+ ---------------------------
13+ Fixes:
14+ - MEDIUM: fix bootloader trying to boot from an active partition
15+ not containing a valid volume boot record instead of showing an
16+ error message.
17+
18+ Changes:
19+ - Do not automatically activate a created primary partition when
20+ it is created via command line and no other partition is active, as
21+ this turned out to be a backwards incompatible change to FDISK 1.3.4
22+ shipped with FreeDOS 1.3, breaking the installation process if the
23+ BIOS is configured to boot from hard disk first.
24+ - Change boot code installed via /IPL to issue an INT 18 if there is
25+ no bootable partition, either because none is active, or the active
26+ one does not contain a valid BIOS signature. There is a message and
27+ a three second delay before issueing the INT 18.
28+ - Add undocumented /NOIPL command line argument which prevents FDISK
29+ from writing boot code into an implicitly created MBR. IPL area is
30+ filled with zero instead.
