• Fixes Bogus Bootable Windows BIOS Instances
• Changes default config filename to config.conf
  • Retains support for refind.conf
• Loads 'MemoryFix' driver on OpenCore Boots if required and available

• Implements "force_trim" config option
  • Enables 'TRIM' on non-Apple SSDs when booting into Mac OS
• Implements "disable_mac_compat_check" config option
  • Disables Mac OS compatibility checks to allow booting new Mac OS Versions on unsupported Macs
• Implements "disable_amfi" config option
  • Disables the Apple Mobile File Integrity (AMFI) checks in Mac OS
  • Disabling AMFI may further facilitate booting new Mac OS Versions on unsupported Macs
• Implements "protect_mac_nvram" config option
  • Prevents UEFI Windows from saving certificates to the NVRAM on Macs
  • These certificates damage Apple NVRAM and result in an inability to start Macs up

  • Allows setting arbitrary boot arguments on Mac OS

v0.12.0.AM

• Optimises search for graphics capabilities and overall boot speed
• Adds workaround for broken QEMU support in the upstream v0.12.0 release
• Reinstalls GOP from Random Access Memory to provide bootscreen on EFI 1.x devices such as Classic MacPros when running GPUs with strict UEFI 2.x Implementation (Mainly Nvidia)
  • Hence RefindPlus can now provide bootscreen when running any GPU with GOP
  • The bootscreen will also be available to other tools, such as OpenCore, when chain-loaded from RefindPlus.
• Clears buffered key strokes on main menu
  • This prevents immediately booting into a selected option on return from tools such as the UEFI Shell
• Encodes screenshots as PNG files instead of the previous large BMP files
• Save screenshots to the RefindPlus ESP when RefindPlus is run from an ESP
  • Previously saved to the first ESP found which could be a different ESP
  • This ensures screeshots are saved to the same ESP RefindPlus is located in
  • Still saves to the first ESP found when run from HFS+ or other "Non-FAT" directories
• Changes logged device handle indices to hex
  • Displays actual hex indices to permit consistency with shell tools
• Changes HiDPI monitor detection threshold to QHD vertical dimension (1601px)
  • Previous threshold of 1921px on the horizontal mistook WQHD for HiDPI
• Adds ScaleUI config token to allow flexibility in HiDPI detection
  • HiDPI monitor detection can be switched on/off or automatically detected by using this token
• Embeds Bootscreen and Nvram icons
  • Specfic icons will be displayed instead of a generic icon when activated and actual icons are not found

  • Logs screensaver
  • Logs details of found Bootloaders
• Optimises device connection routines
• Increase Keyboard Shortcut Keys to cover 10 Bootloaders
• Enhances screensaver function
• Improves Direct GOP Renderer Implementation
• General Stability Fixes

  • This is to reflect wider scope of interventions beyond fixing GOP Screens
• Misc Optimisation
  • Removes more redundant wrapper calls
  • Improves logging scope and presentation
  • General look and feel improvements
  • Misc coding intervention
• Restores on-screen notices on Apple Firmware
• This fixes a long standing rEFInd bug that meant most on-screen notices could not be displayed on Macs
• Implements "ContinueOnWarning" config option
  • This allows users to set RefindPlus to automatically proceed after waiting for a while on screen notices
• Fixes UGAPassThrough Feature
  • The UGAPassThrough feature was sometimes not activated
• Handles Invalid GOP Instances
  • Validates GOP Instances before providing console GOP
• Optimises Device Handle Connection
  • Improve connection reliability as well as boot speed

v0.12.0.AG

• Fixes Bug that Removed UGA Support and Disabled the Boot Screen on Legacy GPUs
  • This bug appeared in v0.12.0.B
• Implements BootKicker Feature from OpenCore
  • This allows loading the Apple Boot Screen directly from Refind which may be useful in getting the environment for full EFI Shell support.
  • Requires GOP Capable Fully Compatible GPUs
• Implements Clean NVRAM Feature from OpenCore
  • Allows resetting the NVRAM Directly from Refind
• Improves Direct GOP Renderer Implementation
• Expands and Improves Debug Logging

v0.12.0.AF

• Misc Performance Optimisation
• Expands Debug Logging Coverage
• Implements Direct GOP Renderer from OpenCore
• Changes Default 'text_renderer' Status to FALSE
• Forces 'text_renderer' Configuration Setting to 'True' on Switch To Text
• Permits Running EFI Shell from 'BOOT/tools_x64' folder
• Permits Running Memtest from standard locations
• Permits using 'Memtest.efi' filename in addition to existing 'Memtest86.efi'

v0.12.0.AE

• Fixes GOP Selection Bug Introduced in v0.12.0.D

v0.12.0.AD

• Fixes Debug Output Issues from v0.12.0.C
• Expands Debug Log Coverage
• Adds "text_renderer" as Configuration Option
  • This allows switching the TextRenderer Feature, Introduced in v0.12.0.C, "ON" or "OFF" in the configuration file. Default is "ON"
• Adds "uga_pass_through" as Configuration Option
  • This allows switching the UGAPassThrough" Feature, Introduced in v0.12.0.C, "ON" or "OFF" in the configuration file. Default is "ON"
• Adds "provide_console_gop" as Configuration Option
  • This allows switching the ProvideConsoleGOP" Feature, Introduced in v0.12.0.C, "ON" or "OFF" in the configuration file. Default is "ON"
• Optimises libeg/screen.c by removing redundant wrapper calls from libeg/screen.c
  • Various function calls were previously routed through a wrapper but can be called directly instead to save on processing cycles
• Broadens the scope of the search for available Graphics Protocols
  • This reduces the likelihood of false negatives when locating GOP, UGADraw and ConsoleControl.
