Previously, + rEFInd could detect FreeBSD's BIOS-mode MBR boot loader, which gave + FreeBSD an appropriate icon on Macs; but the GPT boot loader code is + different, so some recent FreeBSD installations showed up with generic + grey diamond icons. This change creates FreeBSD icons instead. + +- Added "Secure Boot [active|inactive]" notice to "about" menu for x86 + (32-bit) systems, since there are now a few 32-bit UEFI systems that + support Secure Boot. (AFAIK, these are mostly tablets and convertibles + such as the ASUS T100.) + +- Added KeyTool.efi and KeyTool-signed.efi to list of MOK managers. KeyTool + is the "super-deluxe" Secure Boot key and hash manager provided as part + of the efitools package. + +- Fixed more instances of "invalid parameter" errors on some EFIs. + +- Improved Secure Boot detection in install.sh. + +- install.sh should no longer complain when copying Shim or MokManager over + itself. + +0.8.6 (2/8/2015): +----------------- + +- Removed special case of ignoring an HFS+ name of "HFS+ volume", since the + old rEFInd HFS+ driver that produced this name for all HFS+ volumes has + long since been updated to deliver a real name. + +- Addition of new Windows 8 OS icon. On Macs and for BIOS/legacy boots, the + new icon is now used for Windows Vista, 7, and 8, while the old one is + used for earlier versions of Windows. For EFI-mode boots, the new icon is + used universally. + +- If the NTFS driver is loaded, rEFInd now scans NTFS volumes on Macs for + the presence of Windows boot files, and removes any NTFS volume that + lacks such files from the BIOS/legacy boot list. This should help + unclutter the display on Macs that contain NTFS data partitions. + +- Fixed bug that caused misidentification of both whole disks and NTFS + volumes as being FAT. (This bug affected the identification of devices + and locations in the rEFInd menu, not actual access to devices.) + +- Code refactoring to clear out legacy-boot functions from the + ever-expanding refind/main.c file. + +- Added new "badges" option to the "hideui" token in refind.conf. This + option hides the device-type badges associated with the OS boot options. + +- Reverted rEFIt commit r472, introduced in rEFInd 0.8.5 to support more + BMP images because I've received bug reports that it's causing existing + selection images to fail to load. + - Fixed install.sh bug that caused misidentification of installation directory under OS X if an already-mounted ESP has spaces in its path. -- Fixed install.sh bug that could cause misidentification of the ESP on - disks with partition numbers of 10 or above. +- Fixed Mac-specific install.sh bug that could cause misidentification of + the ESP on disks with partition numbers of 10 or above. 0.8.5 (2/1/2015):
