   1 0.2.3 (?/??/2012):
   2 ------------------
   3
   4 - Because of news that the Linux kernel developers are planning to use the
   5   filename linux.conf to hold Linux kernel configuration data for EFI
   6   booting, I'm transitioning rEFInd away from that name and to
   7   refind_linux.conf to avoid a conflict. This version can use either name,
   8   with refind_linux.conf taking precedence if both are present.
   9
  10 - Added logo for Arch Linux.
  11
  12 0.2.2 (3/23/2012):
  13 ------------------
  14
  15 - Fixed bug that caused program failure when Linux kernels with EFI stub
  16   support were detected with no associated version numbers. rEFInd now
  17   permits automatic linking of *ONE* versionless kernel to *ONE*
  18   versionless initrd file.
  19
  20 - Fixed bug that caused program hangs when a boot loader filename or label
  21   was too long. Such names are now properly truncated and program execution
  22   continues.
  23
  24 - Fixed bug that caused no text to appear in submenus on UEFI systems with
  25   small screens (800x600). NOTE: Problem still occurs on screens smaller
  26   than this, but such systems are very rare.
  27
  28 0.2.1 (3/19/2012):
  29 ------------------
  30
  31 - Added ability to set a "default_selection" that's a title or a substring
  32   of one -- the name given to a stanza in a "menuentry" or the boot
  33   loader's filename, in most cases, although "Mac OS X", "Windows XP
  34   (XoM)", and "Microsoft EFI boot" are also titles.
  35
  36 - Added support for semi-automatic scans of Linux kernels with EFI stub
  37   loader support. The program auto-detects matching initial RAM disk files
  38   and loads additional options from the "linux.conf" file in the same
  39   directory as the kernel.
  40
  41 - Added support for "submenuentry" keyword and associated sub-stanza
  42   entries in refind.conf file.
  43
  44 - Renamed icons/os_mint.icns to icons/os_linuxmint.icns to match the
  45   filename Linux Mint ACTUALLY uses for its ESP boot loader directory.
