v1.3.3

• Addressed some more SteamOS update persistence issues (moved scripts and binary to $HOME)
• Added Windows script for optional background randomization (Thanks Ryan!)

v1.3.2

• Addressed GUI persisting across OS updates

v1.3.1

• Minor issues cleaned up from initial 1.3.0 upload
• New feature - random background service. If enabled, a random (valid .png file) background will be copied from the /home/deck/.local/SteamDeck_rEFInd/backgrounds folder to the /esp partition every boot. Backgrounds should ideally be 1,280x800. Please feel free to add to that folder if using this new feature.
• Merge pull requests to replicate this random background functionality from the Windows side will be appreciated...
• Completely repackaged into a local standalone pacman installation with PKGBUILD and makepkg. This will be the new standard going forward.
• Note: Disable Quick boot in BIOS (119) if after rebooting Windows you have no button control in rEFInd.
• Note: the live Kubuntu 23.10 iso is confirmed to work to allow disabling of the Windows EFI entry, in case SteamOS recovery USB is not working to do that at this time.

Minor updates and cleanup since the last release.

(April 3, 2023) Updated to add a standalone GUI version that should work for people experiencing rare compile errors. The binary is larger due to statically linked (not shared) C libraries.

v1.1.7.1

Minor bug fix for version 1.1.7.

• Consecutive runs of Create Config command would create an error in the generated refind.conf file if using the FW bootnum option, since the variable holding that value was not properly being cleared each time. This has been fixed.

• This will likely be the last release for a while, unless other bugs or issues are found.

v1.1.7

• Line edits can now be typed in. Only valid and existing PNG files will be accepted, otherwise text will be cleared. Browse buttons still work the same as before.
• Buttons added to enable and/ or disable systemd service

If you download the rEFInd_GUI.tar.gz file with the precompiled GUI binary, remember to copy the whole .SteamDeck_rEFInd/ folder to the /home/deck directory.

v1.1.6

Latest code and GUI updates. Minor script cleanup and now providing a tarball with the entire .SteamDeck_rEFInd folder as an alternative installation method, or solution for those who can't get the GUI compile to succeed.
