This is how ISO will look now:
/syslinux only syslinux related files (syslinux.cfg, *.c32, etc)
/arch/ isomounts
/arch/any *.sqfs only on -T full or -T split
/arch/i686 *.sqfs
/arch/x86_64 *.sqfs
/arch/boot Memtest86+ + other files for early boot stage
/arch/boot/i686 Linux + initramfs
/arch/boot/x86_64 Linux + initramfs

This allow to have syslinux.cfg splited in multiple .cfg files.
Curretly: -S /path/to/syslinux.cfg
Changed to: -S /path/where/are/syslinux.cfgs.files/

Add a note about supported status in Linux versions.
Needs squashfs-tools-4.1 (now on extra).

syslinux's KERNEL command tries to autodetect the type of the kernel
by looking at the file's extension. This is unsafe, use the explicit
versions instead:
LINUX - for Linux kernels (memtest is booted like a Linux kernel, too)
COM32 - for COM32 modules
COMBOOT - for comboot modules (only poweroff.com right now)
See http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#KERNEL_file
The name of the bootloader is syslinux, while isolinux is just one
of many components. isolinux.bin now also accepts syslinux.cfg
as a configuration file name (as do all other loaders).
Thus, rename the isolinux/ folder to syslinux/, and rename
isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg. The only occurrence of 'isolinux'
is now the actual loader file 'isolinux.bin'. This makes
the transition from isolinux to the other syslinux loaders
easier when remastering the ISO onto another medium.
HDT is a hardware detection/info tool. It will show information about your hardware,
including PCI devices. It will also show the names of the kernel modules that will
support your devices.
* squashfs images that will be part of read-only branchs for union mount in /
are mounted on /ro_branch/{image_name} instead of /tmpfs/mnt/{image_name}
(and avoid empty dirs on live env under /mnt)
* tmpfs that will be part of read-write branch for union mount in /
is mounted on /rw_branch instead of /tmpfs
* tmpfs that is for store *.sqfs images when copytoram=y, is mounted on
/copytoram instead of /tmpfs.sqfs
* tmpfs_size= parameter renamed to rw_branch_size=
* tmpfs_sqfs_size= parameter renamed to copytoram_size=

Notable changes:
* -R option added. Used to specify a file with a list of files or directories
to remove from root-image.sqfs. This option only works with -T full.
A list of files/directories that will be removed is printed.
* -T purge_us profile removed, now is managed via -R option.
* Profiles looks now:
-T <profile> Type of target image (work is done on root-image.sqfs):
basic: join both images, no changes in root-image
split: 'basic' + split out usr/share/ and lib/modules/ from root-image
full: 'split' + remove specified directories (with -R) from root-image
* Code is now a bit small made by some refactions.

To avoid confusion, since we always like to split these both directories
(/usr/share and /lib/modules).
