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. + +- Modified refind-install and mkrlconf scripts to use /proc/cmdline as + source for default boot options EXCEPT when refind-install receives the + --root option. In that case, refind-install continues to use + /etc/default/grub as the source of default options. The idea behind this + change is that it's more reliable to get boot options from /proc/cmdline + when the targeted system is the one that's booted; but --root would be + used from emergency disks or live CDs, in which case the current boot + options would be completely wrong, so extracting boot options from GRUB + files is the best bet for getting close to the right options. + - Added "@/boot" to default also_scan_dirs setting. This makes kernels show up on Btrfs volumes under Ubuntu (and perhaps others), at least when the Btrfs driver is loaded.
