OpenCore 0.8.8 is out now, you can get it from Acidanthera.
Although there are no news in the config.plist file, there are many changes to other OpenCore components. Just take note that almost 40 compilations have been released. They are important changes in code files even if they do not require changes in the configuration file. To get a better and more mature OpenCore.
Main changes
We know that OpenCore hides its own EFI, it means that the EFI of the booting macOS system isn't shown in the picker. But other EFI partitions of not booting macOS systems are always shown in the picker, despite of many users don't like this behaviour and prefer to hide all EFI partitions.
OpenCore 0.8.8 has added .contentVisibility to hide boot entries: exclude entries if there is a .contentVisibility file near the bootloader or inside the boot directory with Disabled content (ASCII). The entry will become auxiliary if its .contentVisibility file contains Auxiliary.
By default the .contentVisibility file containing the text Disabled is already placed next to the BOOTx64.efi file. So, you don't have to do anything extra if you want to hide the macOS EFI partitions.
