Summary

This release focuses on refactoring and improving the reliability of the installer, particularly around partition handling and boot configuration. It also includes significant improvements to the gucc library, which now handles refind installation and configuration.

Features ✨

  • Improved Partition Handling: Significant refactoring and improvements have been made to how the installer handles partitions, leading to better accuracy and reliability.
  • Kernel Parameter Generation: The installer now automatically generates kernel parameters based on the detected partition scheme.
  • Enhanced gucc Library: The gucc library has been significantly enhanced, now encompassing refind installation and configuration capabilities.

Chores 🧹

  • Clang-Format and Clang-Tidy: Codebase consistency and quality have been improved through the application of clang-format and clang-tidy.
  • Refactoring with String Views: Several areas of the codebase now utilize string_view literals for improved performance and readability.
  • Doctest Implementation: C asserts have been replaced with doctest for more robust and informative testing.
  • Refactored Tests: Test suites have been refactored for clarity and maintainability.
  • Refind Handling in gucc: Refind-related code has been refactored and moved into the gucc library for better organization and maintainability.

Bug Fixes 🐛
