- Added new "scan_delay" feature to impose a delay before scanning
for disks.
-- Changed default "scanfor" option from internal-external-optical to
- internal-external-optical-manual. This will have no effect with the
- standard refind.conf file, which has no manual stanzas defined; but some
- users seem to overlook this setting, and think that adding manual stanzas
- is enough to activate them. This will make it so.
+- Changed default "scanfor" option from internal-external-optical to either
+ internal-external-optical-manual (for non-Macs) or
+ internal-hdbios-external-biosexternal-optical-cd-manual (for Macs). I've
+ done this for two reasons:
+ - Many Mac users have been confused by the fact that rEFInd needs
+ reconfiguration to detect Windows (or Linux installed in BIOS mode),
+ since rEFIt scans BIOS devices by default. Adding the BIOS options as
+ default for them should help them.
+ - Adding the "manual" option enables users to simply add manual boot
+ stanzas and have them work, which is more intuitive. Adding the
+ "manual" option will have no effect unless manual stanzas are created
+ or uncommented, so this part of the change won't affect users' working
+ default configurations.
- Added new legacy (BIOS) boot support for UEFI-based PCs.
