(This effect lasts for a fraction of a second on most + systems, since the boot loader that rEFInd launches is likely to set + graphics or text mode itself.) + +- Filesystem drivers now work on EFI 1.x systems, such as Macs. + +- Removed "linux.conf" as a valid alternative name for "refind_linux.conf" + for holding Linux kernel options. The kernel developers plan to use + "linux.conf" themselves. + +0.4.2 (6/3/2012): +----------------- + +- Added a message to install.sh when run on Macs to remind users to update + the "scanfor" line in refind.conf if they need to boot BIOS-based OSes + via rEFInd. + +- Modified install.sh script to be smarter about running efibootmgr on + Linux. It now uses the whole path to the rEFInd binary as a key to + determine whether an existing entry exists, rather than just the filename + portion. If an entry exists and is the first entry in the boot order, the + script does nothing to the NVRAM entries. If such an entry exists but is + not the default, the script deletes that entry and creates a new one + (implicitly making it the first in the boot order). If such an entry does + not exist, the script creates a new one (again, making it the first in + the boot order). + +- Added "dont_scan_dirs" configuration file option, which adds directories + to a "blacklist" of directories that are NOT scanned for boot loaders. + +0.4.1 (5/25/2012): +------------------ + +- Added "scanning for new boot loaders" message to the re-scan function + (hitting Esc at the main menu). It usually flashes up too quickly to + be of importance, but if the scan function takes a while because of + access to a CD that must be spun up, it should make it clear that the + system hasn't hung. + +- Modified install.sh script to detect rEFItBlesser on Macs, and if + present, to ask the user if it should be removed. + +- Cleaned up the Make.common file for the filesystem drivers. + +- Changed HFS+ driver to return volume label of "HFS+ volume" rather than + an empty label. (The driver doesn't currently read the real volume + label.) + +- Fixed bug that could cause rEFInd to appear in its own menu after + running a shell and then re-scanning for boot loaders. 0.4.0 (5/20/2012): ------------------
