Improved handling of non-sd?/non-hd? disks in refind-install.
[refind] / CREDITS.txt
1 Although I (Roderick W. Smith) am releasing rEFInd in its current form, the
2 program is not the work of a single person. Others have contributed to the
3 program, both in its original version (rEFIt) and by providing features
4 I've incorporated into the current version. Specifically:
5
6 Program (C source code) files:
7 ------------------------------
8
9 * Christoph Pfisterer was the original author of rEFIt. See its Web page,
10 http://refit.sourceforge.net, for this version of the program. Christoph
11 has therefore contributed more to rEFInd than anybody else, myself
12 included; my changes are comparatively small additions to the original
13 rEFIt base.
14
15 * The Debian project has made a version of rEFIt available that
16 incorporates a number of patches, all attributed to Julien BLACHE
17 (jblache@debian.org), to enable it to build properly on a Linux system.
18 It was this version of rEFIt that I used as a starting point for creating
19 rEFInd. See http://packages.debian.org/sid/refit for this version of the
20 program.
21
22 * The filesystem drivers released with version 0.4.0 rely on a filesystem
23 wrapper created by Christoph Phisterer. They then passed through Oracle's
24 VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org) and the Clover boot loader
25 project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/). The
26 filesystem-specific code comes from various sources, including Apple,
27 the Linux kernel, and Christoph Pfisterer.
28
29 * Assorted support code is borrowed from the TianoCore EDK2
30 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/tianocore/), which is the reference
31 implementation for EFI.
32
33 * Dave Vasilevsky (dave@vasilevsky.ca) contributed the disk-ejection
34 code.
35
36 * John Bressler (jrb1327@gmail.com) contributed the code to boot BIOS-based
37 OSes on UEFI-based PCs.
38
39 * The code for editing boot options (cursor_left(), cursor_right(), and
40 line_edit() in screen.c) is taken from gummiboot
41 (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/gummiboot).
42
43 * Stefan Agner (stefan@agner.ch) turned the original ext2fs/ext3fs driver
44 into one that can read ext4fs.
45
46 * Samuel Liao ported the GRUB 2 Btrfs and NTFS code into EFI drivers and
47 contributed them to this project, along with several miscellaneous
48 improvements.
49
50 * Martin Whitaker (other@martin-whitaker.me.uk) added 64-bit support
51 to the ext4fs driver.
52
53 * Emerson Barcelos (emerson_freitas@yahoo.com.br) wrote the code for
54 enabling Intel VMX support (the enable_and_lock_vmx token in
55 refind.conf).
56
57 * Rohan Sehgal (rohan.sehgal.su@gmail.com) wrote code to help rEFInd
58 detect network boot options and launch them, with the help of the
59 external ipxe.efi and ipxe_discover.efi programs.
60
61 * Matthew J. Garrett (mjg@redhat.com) wrote the shim boot loader upon which
62 rEFInd relies for its Secure Boot functionality. I took a few shim
63 functions to help out on the rEFInd side, too; see the mok/mok.c source
64 code file.
65
66 * James Bottomley (James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com) wrote the
67 Linux Foundation's PreBootloader, which is an alternative to shim. I've
68 found that much of its code is also useful in implementing Secure Boot
69 functionality in rEFInd. Most of the files in the mok subdirectory are
70 based on Bottomley's PreBootloader code.
71
72 * The PNG support, in the files libeg/lodepng.c and libeg/lodepng.h, is a
73 slightly modified version of LodePNG (http://lodev.org/lodepng/) by Lode
74 Vandevenne. (The libeg/lodepng_xtra.c file provides some necessary
75 ancillary and interface functions written by me.)
76
77 Icons and graphics:
78 -------------------
79
80 * Most icons are derived from the AwOken icon set, version 2.5, by
81 Alessandro Roncone (aka alecive); see
82 http://alecive.deviantart.com/art/AwOken-163570862. Many of these icons
83 have been scaled or altered in color from their original forms.
84
85 * The Debian icon is based on the SVG available from
86 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Debian-OpenLogo.svg. I modified
87 it to fit the general style set by the AwOken icons.
88
89 * The Elementary OS icon is based on the SVG available from
90 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elementary_logo.svg. I modified
91 it to fit the general style set by the AwOken icons.
92
93 * Erik Kemperman provided the original (pre-0.9.3) rEFInd icon, which is a
94 combination of the common refresh/reload icon and the search/find icon.
95 For version 0.9.3, I created a new icon from Erik's basic design concept,
96 but to match the AwOken flat-with-drop-shadow style.
97
98 * Additional icons were created by me.
