Although the original EFI specification was developed by Intel, it was done with the Windows OS in mind. With this move, custom kernels will be a thing of the past.

This new release brings a new menu structure with submenus, a new theme for gfxmenu and support for new platforms. It also brings new drivers for AHCI, EHCI, EFI serial etc. Apart from these, there is support for new filesystems, performance improvements and better internationalization.
