Chimera is an open-source bootloader capable of emulating EFI capabilities for use with OS X. It is an official branch of Chameleon, built to support the latest hardware and to consolidate the best features from all available sources for maximum compatibility across supported platforms. Focused on going forward to support current, new, and future hardware, the project will not add legacy support for older hardware.

The software is based on Chameleon 2.0 RC5 and was announced and first released on April 27, 2011.

Chameleon & SVN Project Format

Numerous development teams work in parallel to create various Chameleon branches containing new and exciting features. The source code is organized using the Subversion version control system (SVN). SVN repositories are comprised of a trunk and branches. The Chameleon team keeps the trunk as the 'stable' version, whereas side-line or experimental development projects are done in branches.

Some branches have features that other branches don't have, and many new features are still not merged into the trunk. While this is an inevitable side-effect of rapid open-source development, it creates some confusion for new users. The result of multiple branches not only increases the difficulty of choosing which version of the bootloader to use, but makes it impossible to support certain hardware.

This is a problem Chimera hopes to alleviate for most users.
