rEFInd 0.13.3.1 compiled in OE

EasyOS has rEFInd version 0.12.0, that was released in 2020. It required a patch to properly support ext4, as I posted about:

https://bkhome.org/news/202007/refind-patch-for-ext4-fscrypt.html

Lots of commits to the project since then, including a fix for ext4, latest version is 0.13.3.1. Here is the project page:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/

So, I have compiled the latest in OpenEmbedded. The new recipe is meta-quirky/recipes-quirky/refind/refind_0.13.3.1.bb:

# Recipe created by recipetool

As I have come to expect, the 'recipetool' utility only creates a basic skeleton recipe, and those compile and install steps were created by me, based on past experience with compiling refind.

I am interested to read what new features are available for the 'refind.conf' file:
