      • Manual stanzas stay in Section 3 of the config file

    • Improvements to handling Graphics Pass Through
      • Misc optimisation

    • Improvements to handling misc graphics items
    • Amendments to GOP Graphics Handling
      • GOP is now provided/replaced on the ConsoleOut handle by default when required
      • Hence, the "Opt-In" provide_console_gop token is replaced by the "Opt-Out" disable_set_consolegop
  • Improves SetBootArgs Handling

    • This permits disabling previous settings in supplementary/theme config files
  • Improves Misc Linux Distro Handling

    • Apple 'Fat' Binary now also assumed valid on UEFI-PC
    • Consistent with upstream implementation
      • 'Plain' Binaries are assumed valid on Apple firmware
      • Upstream considers such invalid on all firmware types
  • Amends HideUIFlags Handling
    • Now aligned with behaviour of other configuration tokens
      • Existing settings are now overridden by settings in supplementary/theme config files
      • Settings in supplementary/theme config files were previously added to existing ones
    • A new flag, none, was added
      • Allows reseting the token in supplementary/theme config files
      • Takes priority over all other settings whenever present
  • Amends Ventoy Handling
    • Specific Ventoy handling is now disabled unless enabled via a new handle_ventoy configuration token
      • This eliminates time on spent on unnecessary searches
      • Also eliminates a default divergence from upstream
    • Whole Disk volumes with Legacy Bootcode were previously hidden whenever Ventoy was present
      • This was to avoid spurious/unbootable instances appearing
        • This however affected legitimate instances without a way to override the behaviour
      • Now attempts to target this when handle_ventoy is set or lets them appear instead
      • Users can hide unwanted instances if required
  • Amends SilenceAPFS Feature
    • No longer separately user configurable and subsumed into the SupplyAPFS feature
    • The associated disable_apfs_mute configuration token is now removed and ignored if set
  • Removes HelpTags Feature
    • The issue the feature was meant to fix does not actually exist
    • The associated decline_help_tags configuration token is now removed and ignored if set
  • Renames Configuration Token
    • decline_apple_fb to disable_set_applefb
