efibootmgr 0.12

It's efibootmgr 0.12!

This release is mostly a maintenance release that uses libefivar's new library API for creating device paths and load options.

Also DHCPv4 network boot entries are now something you can create without knowing an awful lot about ACPI.

As always, I recommend using the .tar.bz2 instead of the other downloads which are automatically generated by github.

efibootmgr 0.11.0

• Fix "-n" and friends not being assigned/checked right sometimes from 0.10.0-1
• Generate more archives to avoid people using github's, because they're just bad.

Apparently specifying your own .tar.gzs and .zips won't stop it from doing it anyway. Only use the green links.

efibootmgr 0.10.0

• Make -o parameter validation work better and be more informative
• Better exit values
• Fix a segfault with appending ascii arguments.

efibootmgr 0.9.0

• Several bugs found by coverity.
• Update for efivar-0.12 , which changed the semantics of efi_guid_to_str() slightly
