   1 0.2.3 (3/26/2012):
   2 ------------------
   3
   4 - Fixed (maybe) a bug that caused hangs when launching a second program
   5   after returning from a first. There are some weird system-to-system
   6   differences, though, and this fix causes (apparently harmless) error
   7   messages about "(re)opening our installation volume" on at least one
   8   system (a 32-bit Mac Mini). I'm committing this change because, imperfect
   9   though it is, it's preferable to the earlier version, at least on my
  10   small sample of computers.
  11
  12 - Because of news that the Linux kernel developers are planning to use the
  13   filename linux.conf to hold Linux kernel configuration data for EFI
  14   booting, I'm transitioning rEFInd away from that name and to
  15   refind_linux.conf to avoid a conflict. This version can use either name,
  16   with refind_linux.conf taking precedence if both are present.
  17
  18 - Added logo for Arch Linux.
  19
  20 0.2.2 (3/23/2012):
  21 ------------------
  22
  23 - Fixed bug that caused program failure when Linux kernels with EFI stub
  24   support were detected with no associated version numbers. rEFInd now
  25   permits automatic linking of *ONE* versionless kernel to *ONE*
  26   versionless initrd file.
  27
  28 - Fixed bug that caused program hangs when a boot loader filename or label
  29   was too long. Such names are now properly truncated and program execution
  30   continues.
  31
  32 - Fixed bug that caused no text to appear in submenus on UEFI systems with
  33   small screens (800x600). NOTE: Problem still occurs on screens smaller
  34   than this, but such systems are very rare.
  35
  36 0.2.1 (3/19/2012):
  37 ------------------
  38
  39 - Added ability to set a "default_selection" that's a title or a substring
  40   of one -- the name given to a stanza in a "menuentry" or the boot
  41   loader's filename, in most cases, although "Mac OS X", "Windows XP
  42   (XoM)", and "Microsoft EFI boot" are also titles.
  43
  44 - Added support for semi-automatic scans of Linux kernels with EFI stub
  45   loader support. The program auto-detects matching initial RAM disk files
  46   and loads additional options from the "linux.conf" file in the same
  47   directory as the kernel.
  48
  49 - Added support for "submenuentry" keyword and associated sub-stanza
  50   entries in refind.conf file.
  51
  52 - Renamed icons/os_mint.icns to icons/os_linuxmint.icns to match the
  53   filename Linux Mint ACTUALLY uses for its ESP boot loader directory.

  56 0.2.0 (3/14/2012):

  59 - Initial public release
