Release: 0.11

sbctl is a Secure Boot key manager that helps users create and enroll Platform Keys and managing signing files.

Firmware Quirks

sbctl now supports a system to detect firmware quirks that might affect the security or functionality of Secure Boot.

The initial revision supports detecting the widely reported MSI Secure Boot quirk.

Please see "MSI has very insecure Secure Boot defaults" for details, and #189 for the feature.

Big thanks to @dawidpotocki for solving the initial issue, the implementation of this new feature in sbctl and the
efforts he has put into this :)
