This + works with both GNU-EFI and Tianocore UDK2014.SP1.P1. This support is + currently poorly tested. In particular, I used QEMU on an x86-64 computer + to create a virtualized ARM64 environment; I've not yet tested on a real + computer. I couldn't get QEMU to create a video card, so I used a serial + terminal, which means that the graphics features are untested -- I ran + rEFInd with "textonly" uncommented in refind.conf. I've tested the ext4fs + driver but no other drivers, although they all compile. (So does gptsync, + although it's unlikely to be useful on ARM64.) Some rEFInd features are + meaningless on ARM64, such as BIOS-mode boot support, anything geared + toward Macs (csr_values/csr_rotate, spoof_osx_version, etc.), and + enable_and_lock_vmx. + +- Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to fail to scan EFI boot loaders on + removable media when rEFInd itself was launched from the fallback + filename. + +- Moved detailed descriptions of refind-install from installing.html to + a refind-install man page. To keep this information Web-accessible, I've + also created HTML versions of the three man pages and linked them into + the HTML documentation. + +- Updated LodePNG to latest version (20151024). + +- Fixed bugs in mkrlconf and in refind-install that could cause some kernel + options to be excluded from refind_linux.conf. There were two trouble + conditions: + - Previously, these scripts assumed that the first option in + /proc/cmdline was the kernel's filename, but this isn't always the + case. (In particular, when gummiboot launches the kernel, this is not + true. It might be an incorrect assumption in some other cases, too.) + The fix involves checking for likely signs of a kernel filename before + discarding this first option. + - These scripts cut the "initrd=*" option from /proc/cmdline, but the + call to "sed" was overzealous and cut until the end of input. This + usually worked, since the initrd= option was usually last on the line; + but if it wasn't, any options following initrd= would be lost. + +- Added "kernel*" as a matching pattern for Linux kernels, since this is + what Gentoo uses by default. + +- The refind-install script can now be run as a symbolic link in Linux. + This enables creating a /usr/sbin/refind-install link in Linux packages, + with the binaries stashed wherever the package system likes them. This + feature does NOT work in OS X, but there's relatively little need for it + there. + +0.10.0 (11/8/2015): +------------------- - Fixed bug that caused refind-install to not unmount the ESP when it should under OS X.
