This file differentiates Mint and Elementary OS from Ubuntu + better than does /etc/os-release, and may also help with other + closely-related distributions. + +- Improvements to handling of case-insensitive string comparisons. These + are buggy on some EFIs, and such bugs affect things like dont_scan_* + blacklists, removal of rEFInd's own directory from scanning, matching of + keyword names in refind.conf, and even loading of icons. I've replaced + many calls to problematic functions with safer calls, which should help a + lot. There may still be problems on some systems with some computers, + though; as far as I can tell, the bugs are buried deep in some EFI + firmware, so I can only replace some of the most direct calls to + potentially buggy system calls. + +0.9.0 (7/26/2015): +------------------ + +- New icon for Kali Linux, submitted by Francesco D'Eugenio. + +- Minor code changes to ensure that rEFInd compiles with GCC 5.1. (Tested + with GNU-EFI on a Fedora 22 system; not yet tested with the TianoCore + EDK2.) + +- Added new "fold_linux_kernels" token to refind.conf. This option, when + active (the default) "folds" all Linux kernels in a directory into a + single entry on the rEFInd menu. The kernel with the most recent time + stamp is launched by default. To launch another kernel, you must press F2 + or Insert; additional kernels appear as options on the first kernel's + submenu. To see the pre-0.9.0 behavior, you must set "fold_linux_kernels + false" (or one of its synonyms, "off" or "0"). The point of this option + is to help de-clutter the rEFInd main menu. + - Added new Linux root (/) partition auto-discovery feature, based on Freedesktop.org's Discoverable Partitions Spec (DPS) (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/DiscoverablePartitionsSpec/):
