*** Release 7.0.2 ***
|
|
|
|
Noteworthy changes compared to the previous release, 7.0.1:
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
- Fix a cosmetic bug in the menu where, when the editor was disabled,
|
|
the controls showed "ENTER Expand" even for boot entries instead of
|
|
only for menu directories.

|
|
|
|
*** Release 7.0.1 ***
|
|
|
|
Noteworthy changes compared to the previous release, 7.0.0:
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
- Fix ARM64/aarch64 spinup code to properly support Apple Silicon
|
|
chips.
|
|
- Prevent users from building Limine with a GNU Make version older than
|
|
4.2, as that is not supported, by gracefully erroring out with a
|
|
useful error message.
|
|
- Avoid usage of reserved C identifiers in certain cases.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous:
|
|
- Drop usage of "libgcc-binaries" for "cc-runtime". This finally makes
|
|
us able to ship Limine tarballs without included binary blobs, and
|
|
should improve compatibility with more obscure toolchain set ups.
