(In practice, it + manifested with GNU-EFI starting with version 3.0.3 or 3.0.4.) + +- An anonymous contributor has provided support for touch screens. This + support requires that the "enable_touch" token be used in refind.conf. + Note, however, that not all tablet computers have EFIs that provide the + necessary support in the firmware. + +- Martin Whitaker contributed 64-bit support to the ext4fs driver, which + makes it compatible with ext4fs as written by some recent Linux + distributions. + +- Tweaked refind-install to do a better job of detecting disks other + than /dev/sd? and /dev/hd? devices. + +0.10.3 (4/24/2016): +------------------- + +- Altered RPM & Debian installation scripts so as to NOT call sbsign if + Secure Boot is disabled. This is a response to Ubuntu bug #1574372 + (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sbsigntool/+bug/1574372): In + Ubuntu 16.04, the sbsign program is segfaulting randomly, which prevents + proper installation of the program. This change at least permits proper + installation IF Secure Boot is disabled. + +- Changed description of BIOS/CSM/legacy OS loaders on Macs to include the + string "(Legacy)", so as to more easily identify BIOS/CSM/legacy-mode OSes + in the rEFInd main menu. + +- Added recognition of the fwupx64.efi file as a firmware update tool. + This filename is excluded from the first-row launchers, and is instead + presented on the second row, controlled by the "fwupdate" item on the + "showtools" option line. It's enabled by default. Note that it's still a + bit unclear to me how this tool is supposed to be used. rEFInd launches it + with no options, but if it should take options, this will have to be + changed in the future. + - Tightened exclusion of shell binary filenames from boot loader scan. Previously, any filename containing the substring "shell" was excluded from scans. Now it's tighter; only files matching one of the filenames in
