(Fix + courtesy of "S L.") + +- Modified SIP/CSR rotation code: If the csr-active-config EFI variable is + missing AND the firmware is Apple (as identified by the string "Apple" + being present in the ST->FirmwareVendor string), rEFInd treats the + computer as one on which SIP is available and set to the "enabled" state + (0x10). The upshot is that the SIP/CSR tool will appear if the showtools + and csr_values options are set appropriately in refind.conf, even if the + csr-active-config variable is missing from the NVRAM. The point of this + change is that I've received reports of some Macs that run OS X 10.11 but + that lack this variable. OS X acts as if SIP were enabled, but rEFInd is + then unable to disable SIP. This change gives rEFInd the ability to + disable SIP on such systems. The drawback is that the variable might be + set on some systems that don't run OS X 10.11. This should be harmless + from a technical point of view, but the presence of SIP indicators in + rEFInd could be confusing. + +- Added refind-mkdefault script to simplify resetting rEFInd as the default + boot program in Linux. The intent is to run this after GRUB, Windows, OS + X, or some other tool takes over as the primary boot manager. It can be + called from a startup script to handle this task automatically. + +0.10.2 (1/26/2016): +------------------- + +- Fixed bug in refind-install that caused mountesp to be installed as a FILE + called /usr/local/bin on OS X if the /usr/local/bin directory did not + already exist. + +- Fixed bug in mvrefind that caused it to fail to move bootmgfw.efi in + some situations, and another that caused it to give the resulting NVRAM + entry the default rEFInd name of "rEFInd Boot Manager," rather than the + intended "Windows Boot Manager" (to work around bugs in some EFIs). + +- Worked around bug/quirk in some EFIs (in HP ProBook 6470b laptop, at + least) that prevented EFI filesystem drivers from working. (Drivers would + load but not provide access to filesystems.) + +- Fixed refind-install bug that caused --usedefault option to not work in OS + X. (This bug did not affect Linux.) + +- Improved Secure Boot detection in refind-install in Linux. + +- Fixed bug that caused custom volume badges (vol_*.png) to be read only + from default location ("icons" subdirectory), effectively eliminating the + ability to adjust them. + +- Added centos.crt and centos.cer public key files. + +0.10.1 (12/12/2015): -------------------- +- Change to PPA version: Installing the PPA now queries the user about + whether to install to the ESP. Upgrades will remember the initial + selection. + +- Modified time-based sorting of loaders in a single directory to push + anything starting with "vmlinuz-0-rescue" to the end of the list. Fedora + gives its rescue kernels filenames that begin with that string, and if + such a kernel happens to be the most recent, treating it normally will + cause it to become the default when kernel folding is in use. This is + almost certainly undesirable, so this change keeps the rescue kernel at + the end of the list instead, which is saner. + +- Significantly reworked the project's Makefiles. This should have no + impact on ordinary users, and even most developers should barely notice + it; but it should make future extensions to additional platforms or + building in different environments easier. + +- Added workaround to gptsync for issue with some Macs' EFIs that caused + the program to skip through all prompts, thus accepting the default + option. This would normally cause gptsync to do nothing. + +- Added type code 53746F72-6167-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC (Apple Core Storage, + gdisk type AF05) to list of partition types recognized by gptsync. + - Removed Luxi Sans Mono font, since I discovered it was not open source; and changed the default font from Nimbus Mono to Liberation Mono.
