+
+ Add a new timeout_style environment variable and a corresponding
+ GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE configuration key for grub-mkconfig. This
+ controls hidden-timeout handling more simply than the previous
+ arrangements, and pressing any hotkeys associated with menu entries
+ during the hidden timeout will now boot the corresponding menu entry
+ immediately.
+
+ GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=<non-empty> + GRUB_TIMEOUT=<non-zero> now
+ generates a warning, and if it shows the menu it will do so as if
+ the second timeout were not present. Other combinations are
+ translated into reasonable equivalents.
