Behavior is unchanged if + default_selection is set. Note that this behavior depends on the ability + of rEFInd to store an EFI variable in NVRAM. It therefore fails on + systems with flaky NVRAM storage. You can view the previously-booted + loader in the + /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/PreviousBoot-36d08fa7-cf0b-42f5-8f14-68df73ed3740 + variable under Linux. + +- Added icon for Mageia Linux (os_mageia.png). + +- Fixed bug that could misidentify a not-quite-GUID as a GUID in a + manual boot stanza's "volume" line. + +- I've updated my personal build system, and therefore the rEFInd Makefiles + and related files, to use TianoCore UDK2014 rather than UDK2010. + +- Added "deep_uefi_legacy_scan" token. When not set (the default), rEFInd + does not modify EFI NVRAM settings when scanning for BIOS-mode boot + loaders on UEFI-based (non-Mac) computers. Some computers require + uncommenting this setting for rEFInd to reliably detect some BIOS-mode + boot devices. Passing "0", "off", or "false" as an option resets it to + the default value (useful in a loaded secondary configuration file to + override a setting in the main file). + +0.8.1 (5/15/2014): ------------------ +- Fixed bug that could cause rEFInd to fail to detect boot loaders stored + on the root directory of a partition. + +- Added two new bitmap fonts to those distributed with rEFInd: Ubuntu Mono + and Nimbus Mono. Both come in 12-, 14-, 16-, and 24-point sizes. + +- Messages about pauses for scanning and re-scanning of boot loaders are + now suppressed when doing an initial delayed scan when scan_delay is 1 + second. + +- Improved centering of legacy boot option descriptions on some systems' + screens. + +- Fixed bug that could cause a BIOS-mode boot to boot from an inappropriate + device if that device had an innately high boot priority (as set by the + firmware). + - Changed icons from ICNS to PNG form. There are several reasons to do this, all of them minor; but together they're enough to warrant a change. PNG is more common, and therefore more accessible to most users --
