v3.2.2

Changes (v3.2.0)

• Support macOS Ventura
• Add FeatureUnlock kext to support AirPlay mirroring on >= 12.3 (#991) (thanks @goodbest)
• Add AppleIGB kext for LAN2 on >= 12.0 (#947)
• Add timeout for Brcm wifi cards to fix boot issues on >= 12.1 (thanks @goodbest)
• Removed manual UI scale option (OpenCore now detects this automatically)
• Enabled OpenCore support for booting Linux directly

Changes (v3.2.1)

• Moved AppleIGB to an optional install because it is causing kernel panics
• Secure Boot is now checked by default. This change has been reverted in v3.2.2.

Changes (v3.2.2)

• Reverted the change in v3.2.1 which set Secure Boot to default. This caused people who did not read the release notes to update with the default settings and inadvertently break their installation. You still need Secure Boot for OTA updates but just like before v3.2.1, you have to manually check the option.
• Fixed an issue where the EFI volume failed to unmount when the installer is run on macOS Ventura due to a change in how diskutil unmount worked (#1033)

Messages

• Important: Apple has started requiring Secure Boot for updating to macOS Monterey 12.2 and above. See the mini-guide below for more details.
• If you are upgrading from v2.17 and below, please read the notes at the top of v3.0.1

Enabling Secure Boot

As of macOS Monterey 12.2, Apple has started requiring Secure Boot for OTA updates. HaC mini already supports Secure Boot but if you have not enabled it before, you need to perform some extra steps.

1. (Re)install HaC Mini and in the installer choose "Customize" and check "Boot Options -> Enable boot security".
2. After rebooting, repeatedly press the Alt/Cmd key at BIOS to toggle the OpenCore boot picker. Select the recovery partition.
3. Open Utilities -> Terminal and type the following: bless --folder "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices" --bootefi --personalize (replace "Machintosh HD" with the name of your Monterey boot volume if needed)
4. Reboot and you should be able to boot into Monterey again. If you still do not see OTA updates, open Terminal and run sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Versions/A/Resources/seedutil unenroll

If these steps do not work, you may have to re-install macOS Monterey from recovery to get secure boot to work. More details about secure boot can be found in the guide.

Note: When Secure Boot is enabled, you can no longer manually modify the EFI partition (config.plist, KEXTs, etc). If you wish to make modifications, you must re-install HaC mini and uncheck the boot security option.
