For the interested, some comments on what has changed:

For one, chroot generation for ISOs is now done by the chrootgen.sh script
on perforce. For the rest, here's the ChangeLog snippet since last release:

2005-08-28 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT sourcemage.org>
        * initrd.files: add ls, lsmod, rmmod, per request from afk

        * data/iso.command: create empty /etc/modules too
        * smgl.genspells: add linux - we need the modules for the initrd
        * caster: add force usage of p4's kernel configs
        * mkprep: add sanity checks; make choose_multi work as the docs say
        * skeleton/etc/inittab: fix stupid typo (5 times tty2)
        * skeleton/initrd/sbin/smgl.init: unmount /dev before init'ing
        * 30spellinstall: run ldconfig with path, don't rely on it getting

        * caster: add temporary workarounds for "g++ dependencies"
                  add sanity check if >10 spells are to be dispelled

                      problems with patterns staying in the config file and
