(Previous versions + searched only for gptsync.efi.) + +- Added gptsync program from rEFIt project, but with some changes to + improve flexibility and make it less likely that UEFI users will + accidentally trash their systems. + +- Changed timeout code so that the timeout continues if the keyboard is + disconnected. This can help in booting a headless server or a system with + a bluetooth or other keyboard that's not recognized by the EFI. + +0.6.8 (3/18/2013): +------------------ + +- Added workaround for presumed EFI bug that was causing "Invalid + Parameter" errors when scanning for boot loaders on some computers. + +- Added search for an EFI shell called shell.efi in the root directory + (previously this name was only accepted in EFI\tools). + +- Fixed bug in install.sh that caused it to fail on some systems (Fedora + 18, for instance) because of a problem identifying the ESP. - Fixed bug that caused icons named after boot loaders to not be used.
