Enhanced version of the amazing rEFInd Boot Manager that incorporates various fixes and additional features.
The development focus is on Classic MacPros (3,1 to 5,1) but should be useful for all users of rEFInd.
The aim is for most, if not all, of the fixes and features to be merged upsteam into rEFInd.

The RefindPlus efi file is a drop-in replacement (x64 Only) for the default rEFInd efi file. Hence, to install, get the default rEFInd package and install this as normal.
Once done, replace the rEFInd efi file with one from RefindPlus. Ensure that you rename to match. Also replace the default rEFInd configuration file with one from RefindPlus to configure the additonal options provided.
Alternatively, you can use MyBootMgr, a preconfigured RefindPlus/OpenCore chainloading package.
