(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.
