<body>
<p>A number of UEFI bug fixes were committed over the last
quarter, improving compatibility with different UEFI
implementations.
This includes improvements to EFI's vt(4) framebuffer
driver, efifb, to handle systems with high resolution
displays and unusual framebuffer stride values.
In particular this improves compatibility with a large
number of recent Apple MacBook Pros and other Macs.</p>
