Happy New Year! ZFSBootMenu 1.8.1 provides a few minor enhancements and bug fixes.

Fixes

  • Properly handle encryption keys as raw devices rather than normal files. (#127)
  • Improve detection of latest kernels when /boot contains some unversioned kernel files. (#128)
  • Accept Ctrl and Ctrl-Alt as hotkey modifiers in addition to Alt to fix issues with some non-US keymaps. (#124)
  • Everywhere a chroot hotkey is offered, use the same hotkey.

New features

  • Add hard wraps to the hotkey menus to improve clarity; ignored for small screens.
  • In the snapshot list, add an option to jump into a read-only chroot for that snapshot.
  • The force_import and timeout kernel command-line options are now expected to be zbm.force_import and zbm.timeout; the old forms are deprecated but will continue to work for the forseeable future.
  • New zbm.show and zbm.skip command-line options force the menu to appear or be skipped if zbm.timeout is not also set.
