On some early Macs, the extra space (which had been + present by default, as a carryover from rEFIt) causes problems when + booting Linux kernels from FAT partitions. + +0.4.6 (10/6/2012): +------------------ + +- Fixed some minor memory management issues. + +- Added new "scan_delay" feature to impose a delay before scanning + for disks. + +- Changed default "scanfor" option from internal-external-optical to either + internal-external-optical-manual (for non-Macs) or + internal-hdbios-external-biosexternal-optical-cd-manual (for Macs). I've + done this for two reasons: + - Many Mac users have been confused by the fact that rEFInd needs + reconfiguration to detect Windows (or Linux installed in BIOS mode), + since rEFIt scans BIOS devices by default. Adding the BIOS options as + default for them should help them. + - Adding the "manual" option enables users to simply add manual boot + stanzas and have them work, which is more intuitive. Adding the + "manual" option will have no effect unless manual stanzas are created + or uncommented, so this part of the change won't affect users' working + default configurations. + +- Added new legacy (BIOS) boot support for UEFI-based PCs. + +0.4.5 (8/12/2012): ------------------ - Fixed bug that caused a failure to boot BIOS-based OSes on Macs. +- Fixed bug in install.sh that caused it to fail to detect rEFItBlesser. + 0.4.4 (6/23/2012): ------------------
