v0.12.0.AD

• Fixes Debug Output Issues from v0.12.0.C
• Expands Debug Log Coverage
• Adds "text_renderer" as Configuration Option
  • This allows switching the TextRenderer Feature, Introduced in v0.12.0.C, "ON" or "OFF" in the configuration file. Default is "ON"
• Adds "uga_pass_through" as Configuration Option

• Optimises libeg/screen.c by removing redundant wrapper calls from libeg/screen.c
  • Various function calls were previously routed through a wrapper but can be called directly instead to save on processing cycles
• Broadens the scope of the search for available Graphics Protocols
  • This reduces the likelihood of false negatives when locating GOP, UGADraw and ConsoleControl.

v0.12.0.AC

• Implements ProvideConsoleGOP from OpenCore
  • This allows Pre-Boot Configuration Screens (Boot Screen) on units with broken GOP Implementation (such as Classic MacPro 4,1 and 5,1 Models) when running Semi Compatible GPUs.
  • Units such as the Classic MacPro 3,1 Models running Semi Compatible GPUs can still display Boot Screens as before
• Implements UGAPassThrough from OpenCore
  • This allows Boot Screen on Operating Systems such as Mac OS v10.4 (Tiger) that use old EFIBoot processes
• Implements BuiltinText Renderer from OpenCore
  • This fixes Text Mode on units with broken text display implementations such as Classic MacPros
  • This allows running EFI Shell on such units
• Includes all Mac OS SIP Values for CSR Rotation (Thanks @startergo)
  • This implements the actual Mac OS default value of 877 in place of the previously defined value of 77
  • This allows disabling SIP on, and booting with caveats, pre-release versions of Mac OS v11.0 (Big Sur)
• Expands Debug Logging
• Improves Boot Speed
