   An update that has 9 recommended fixes can now be
   installed. It includes one version update.

Description:


   This update to perl-Bootloader brings the following
   improvements:

   * During a kernel update, change the default behavior
   to first try to use parameters from a fitting section and
   have sysconfig only as a fall back (FATE#310946)
   * Implement MD raid failover boot configuration
   (FATE#305008)
   * Improve compatibility with UEFI on Xen setups (bnc
   #717828)
   * Support more devices in fallback heuristics
   (bnc#726209)
   * Implement a fall back to retrieve the kernel device
   name in case udev is not running (bnc#735073).

   The update also resolves the following issues:

   * Add 'root' option if no fitting section was found
   (bnc#730405)
   * Under some specific circumstances, an incorrect root
   device might be written to the bootloader configuration
   after a kernel update (bnc#730467)
   * Speedup dmraid parsing, fixing an issue where
   installing a kernel update on a system with many discs
   could take up to several hours (bnc#750182)
   * Makes the dependency on the Perl module Pod::Usage
   optional (bnc#760464)
   * Fix parsing of product files (bnc#757565)
   * Fix disambiguation of section entry names
   (bnc#765663).
