I'm not 100% sure this bug is squashed because I still + don't understand the cause and I only have one Mac for testing. See + comments in the ReinitRefitLib() function in refit/lib.c for more + details. + +- Added new refind.conf option: scan_all_linux_kernels, which causes Linux + kernels that lack ".efi" extensions to be included in scans for EFI boot + loaders. This may help integration with Linux distributions that don't + give their kernels such names by default. Beware, though: It can detect + unwanted files, such as older non-stub-loader kernels or .icns files used + to give kernels with .efi extensions custom icons. + +- Improved EFI boot loader detection on boards with Gigabyte's Hybrid EFI, + and perhaps other EFIs with a buggy StriCmp() function. Files with both + ".efi" and ".EFI" extensions should now be detected as boot loaders. + - Fixed a bug that caused rEFInd to fail to scan for drivers if the filesystem driver didn't set a volume name (that is, if the relevant field was set to NULL rather than even an empty string).
