[HOW TO] OpenCore 0.9.5 >> 0.9.6 differences

[miliuco]

OpenCore 0.9.6 is out. Although there is only 1 change in config.plist (useful only for Max OS X 10.4 and 10.5), the code continues to receive improvements and fixes.

Main changes

• Database: Updated builtin firmware versions for SMBIOS
• Fixed hang while generating boot entries on some systems
• Docs: Update requirements for OpenLegacyBoot
• Fixed build on Windows (avoiding null output file)
• Added FixupAppleEfiImages quirk to fix errors in boot.efi images of early Mac OS X (10.4 and 10.5). The quirk is never applied during the Apple secure boot path for newer macOS and is only needed for loading Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5, and even then only if the firmware itself includes a modern image loader as current builds of OpenDuet.

config.plist

• Booter >> Quirks: added FixupAppleEfiImages (Boolean). Default value is False.
