• Adds PreferUGA Feature
  • Sets RefindPlus to always use UGA for its graphics output when available
    • The default is to use GOP and to fall back on UGA when GOP is not available
  • The feature can be enabled using a new prefer_uga configuration token
• Adds FollowSymlinks Feature
  • Allows following symbolic links to loaders
  • These are otherwise ignored to avoid misc issues but may be useful to run some Linux setups
  • The feature can be enabled using a new follow_symlinks configuration token
• Adds FocusNvramFix Feature
  • Focuses the ProtectNVRAM feature (if set) on explicit UEFI Windows boots
  • The feature can be enabled using a new focus_nvram_fix configuration token
    • Replaces the EnableMacosFilter feature which has been removed
• Fixes Unwanted APFS Data Volume Entries
  • APFS data volumes could sometimes appear as boot options due to inadequate filtering
• Fixes SubScreen Boots
  • Boots from subscreens, such as after pressing F2, were handled as generic UEFI files
  • This resulted in some processes being skipped or unwanted processes being applied
  • RefindPlus now tries to make such boots specific as follows:
    • Opencore, Clover, Linux, MacOS, Windows and Misc Others
• Fixes Apple Hardware Test Option
  • While Apple stopped providing this feature after June 2013, some users may have restored this
    • Ref: https://github.com/upekkha/AppleHardwareTest
  • In such cases however, RefindPlus did not provide the option on APFS volumes when SyncAPFS is active
  • Now reinstated subject to not having multiple MacOS instances in any single APFS container
• Fixes Misc Items
  • Always block UEFI Windows NVRAM items (Disregard Volatility)
  • Address misidentification of certain volume types as HFS+ volumes
  • Address misplaced Out and Return log tags
  • Eliminate excessive pointer event logging
  • Eliminate python script code smells
• Improves System Reset Call Fix
  • Was previously always active when on system reboot calls
  • This meant such calls always required confirmation
  • Such confirmations are no longer required if keypresses had taken place before the call
  • Hence all legitimate calls now proceed without issue and buffered keystroke calls are also captured
• Improves FS Type Handling
  • Prevents Windows Support Volumes from being offered as boot options
  • Updates Volume FS_TYPE setting to match assumed types
  • Differentiates between HFS+ types
• Improves Time Bound Primed Buffer Mitigation
  • Reduces intervention threshold based on detection of confirmed user key presses
• Amends the ShouldScan Function to Exclude HFS+ Recovery HD Volumes
  • This recovery functionality was meant to be handled by the Mac Recovery Tool
• Amends the WarnIfLegacyProblems Function Run Position
  • Now runs after the SetupScreen function to ensure screen display on issues
• Amends EFI Scan to Exclude BOOTCAMP
  • BootCamp creates HybridMBR disks and trigger redundant attempts to find EFI loaders
• Ports Downstream Directory Scan Iteration Fix
