92 <p>The following summarizes changes in rEFInd's public releases:
</p>
96 <li><b>0.2.2 (
3/
23/
2012)
</b>—This version fixes three bugs: One caused submenus to not appear on systems with screens of
800x600 or smaller; another caused rEFInd to hang when boot loader names were too long; and the third caused the program to fail when Linux kernels and their initial RAM disk files lacked version numbers.
</li>
98 <li><b>0.2.1 (
3/
19/
2012)
</b>—This version adds the ability to auto-scan Linux kernels with EFI stub loader support, provided a suitable
<tt>linux.conf
</tt> file exists in the kernel's directory. It also adds support for manual specification of submenus in
<tt>refind.conf
</tt>.
</li>
100 <li><b>0.2.0 (
3/
14/
2012)
</b>—This is the program's initial public release. It's based on rEFIt
0.14 plus a large number of patches taken from Debian's Linux-compilable rEFIt package. I then added UEFI-specific fixes, support for OS definition stanzas in the configuration file, a scrolling icon list on the main menu, and other minor improvements. This release has quite a few
<a href=
"todo.html">known bugs and limitations.
