v0.14.0.AB

1. Attached a replacement package, HotFix-01, to address misc post release issues¹

---

• Adds HelpScan Feature
  • Ensures that some typically unwanted loaders are not displayed in the first row
    • Enforces tools only appearing in the second row
    • Always adds program default items for exclusion to user defined ones
  • Enabled by default but can be disabled using a new decline_help_scan configuration token
    • The new token sets RefindPlus to follow the upstream implementation
• Fixes MemTest Tool
  • The MemTest fallback loader file was not recognised as a MemTest loader
  • Hence MemTest could only be run via explicit MemTest efi files
  • This bug was introduced in v0.12.0.AN (Commit 44b53e8)
• Improves Ventoy Handling
  • Removes multiple redundant/invalid loader options that otherwise appear
  • Displays an os_ventoy icon if present
• Improves ScaleUI Handling
  • Eliminates extra UI scaling that may happen on main screen rescans
• Improves SyncAPFS Handling
  • Handles synced multi instance APFS container volumes in DontScanVolumes list
  • Stores APFS Roles in volume object instead of retrieving such each time
• Improves Misc External Screen Tool Handling
  • Some tools that run external screens, such as GDisk, may change volume device paths
  • Hence, on return, RefindPlus did not operate as it should
  • Previously fixed but re-emerged and now addressed again
• Improves Linux Param File Handling
  • A memory conflict meant the files were not always read
• Improves Filesystem Driver Handling
  • Resolves failure to install on some handles
• Improves GPT Handling
  • Applies misc minor tweaks
• Improves Comma Delimited Strings Handling
  • Now accommodates leading spaces before string elements
• Improves Loader Icon Handling
  • Provides generic Linux fallback for some distros
  • Prevents fallback loaders with invalid architectures from being displayed
• Improves AlsoScan Feature Handling
  • The @root/boot path was removed from the default also_scan_dirs list
  • Added in v0.13.3.AD but users should be able to add this if required
• Renames Misc Configuration Tokens
  • decline_nvram_protect to disable_nvram_protect
  • decline_reload_gop to disable_reload_gop
  • decline_apfs_load to disable_apfs_load
  • decline_apfs_mute to disable_apfs_mute
  • decline_apfs_sync to disable_apfs_sync
  • decline_apple_fb to disable_provide_fb
