v0.14.2.AB - RefindPlus Release Notes | AnnounceHQ

This can be used to fully or partially disable boot logo display

Improves Shortcut Key Handling

No longer allocates keys based on the operating system type/name
- There was no way of knowing what would be loaded in many cases
No longer allocates keys to tools with the exceptions below
- Key: A is allocated to About Refindplus
- Key: Z is allocated to System Shutdown (Previously U)
Keys are now basically allocated on display position
- Order: 1, 2, 3 ... 8, 9, B, C ... W, X, Y (31 keys)
- Key 0 is an internally reserved key
- Keys A and Z are used for tools
- Keys I and O are not used

Improves Tool Handling

Now only displays one representative entity per tool type
- Allows for uncluttered and aesthetically pleasing interfaces
- Can significantly improve loading speeds in applicable instances
  - Tool instances are processed for display when actively selected
  - The actual tool instances are then displayed for use if available
  - The outcomes of such searches are cached for reuse in that session

Improves Manual Stanza Handling

Removes requirement for the volume token to be set before some other tokens
- Volumes can now be defined anywhere in a stanza without issue
Improves handling of disabled tokens

Improves Mac Recovery Handling

Now labels HFS Recovery instances with the Mac OS version
Activates previously disabled implementation for APFS
- Attempts restart into APFS Recovery via BootNext
- IMPORTANT:
  - This implementation is still a work in progress ... feedback required/welcome

Amends Misc Handling

Applies multiple sundry optimisations and standardisation
- Includes introduction of an os_windows icon to be used for Windows when available
  - Works around the now dated inherited os-win and os-win8 arrangement
  - The existing arrangement is maintained
- Adds os_ventoy icon
- Now uses upstream emulated storage location if present
- Amends misc misaligned indices
The use_graphics_for token now defaults to osx linux windows
