I just released v0.0.9 of my patcher. I'll copy and paste from the release notes on GitHub:
Further work on my patcher may have to wait until next week, although if beta 2 breaks my patcher I'll certainly try to fix it quickly.A few changes:
This release still does not try to support 2010 or earlier Macs (yet).
- Added Intel HD 3000 kexts from High Sierra to the kext patcher, so that 13" MacBook Pro Early 2011 and similar machines can have functioning sleep and brightness control. (It also improved performance enough that I'm now able to watch full screen 720p60 YouTube videos in Safari with very few frame drops, even though it doesn't have true acceleration yet.)
- Made a few tweaks to the patcher to hopefully have compatibility with Big Sur beta 2 (of course we won't know for sure until beta 2 actually arrives). To be honest, this really has more to do with making up for deficiencies in previous versions of the patcher than any truly substantial changes Apple might make.
- Some updates to the README, including instructions on a way to update from beta 1 to beta 2 which should be almost guaranteed to work if the patcher turns out to be compatible with beta 2.
