-0.8.6 (?/??/2016):
+0.9.3 (??/??/2015):
+-------------------
+
+- Under OS X, install.sh can now be run from the recovery system. This may
+ help work around OS X 10.11's problems with System Integrity Protection,
+ since it should be possible to reboot into the recovery system to install
+ rEFInd without disabling SIP for the main installation, even for just one
+ boot.
+
+0.9.2 (9/19/2015):
+------------------
+
+- Added "--keepname" option to install.sh. This option causes install.sh
+ to keep refind_x64.efi named as such rather than rename it as grubx64.efi
+ when using Shim. This option is meaningful only if the --shim option is
+ also used. This option passes the refind_x64.efi filename as an option to
+ Shim, which overrides the default filename of grubx64.efi. A big caveat:
+ Only Shim 0.7 and later supports this feature. (Shim 0.4 also works if a
+ refind_x64.efi is referred to as "\refind_x64.efi" on the command line,
+ but the need for a leading backslash to refer to a file in the same
+ directory as Shim is so confusing and wrong that I cannot in good
+ conscience support it.) I've not seen signed Shim binaries between 0.4
+ and 0.7, so I don't know if any of them might work.
+
+- Implemented a workaround for a bug in Shim 0.8 that prevented
+ authentication of more than one binary. If any filesystem drivers were
+ installed, the first one would be verified, leaving rEFInd unable to
+ launch anything else unless it was signed by a key in the computer's main
+ Secure Boot db list.
+
+0.9.1 (9/13/2015):
+------------------
+
+- When rEFInd identifies the root (/) partition via the Freedesktop.org
+ Discoverable Partitions Specification, it now checks two of the
+ partition's attributes, as per the DPS (see
+ http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/DiscoverablePartitionsSpec/):
+ - The partition's read-only attribute determines whether to pass a "rw"
+ or "ro" option to the kernel.
+ - If the partition's do-not-automount flag is set, rEFInd will not pass
+ it as a "root=" option to the kernel. This flag can be used to remove
+ all but one partition from consideration as a root (/) partition if a
+ system has more than one with the correct type code.
+
+- Improved Freedesktop.org Discoverable Partitions Specification support:
+ Previously, if no refind_linux.conf file was present but an /etc/fstab
+ file was found, rEFInd ignored the Discoverable Partitions Specification
+ filesystem-type codes. This was fine if /etc/fstab contained a valid "/"
+ filesystem specification, but if that was absent, the result was no
+ "root=" specification being present. Under these circumstances
+ (refind_linux.conf absent, /etc/fstab present but lacking a "/" entry),
+ rEFInd now tries to identify a device to specify as "root=" via the
+ Discoverable Partitions Specification.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused "Found match!" and a prompt to press a key to
+ continue to be printed if any partition used the Freedesktop.org
+ Discoverable Partitions Specification root-partition GUID. (This
+ was leftover debugging/testing code that I somehow missed deleting.)
+
+- Added icon for Elementary OS.
+
+- Added /etc/lsb-release to files scanned for clues about the Linux
+ distribution. This file differentiates Mint and Elementary OS from Ubuntu
+ better than does /etc/os-release, and may also help with other
+ closely-related distributions.
+
+- Improvements to handling of case-insensitive string comparisons. These
+ are buggy on some EFIs, and such bugs affect things like dont_scan_*
+ blacklists, removal of rEFInd's own directory from scanning, matching of
+ keyword names in refind.conf, and even loading of icons. I've replaced
+ many calls to problematic functions with safer calls, which should help a
+ lot. There may still be problems on some systems with some computers,
+ though; as far as I can tell, the bugs are buried deep in some EFI
+ firmware, so I can only replace some of the most direct calls to
+ potentially buggy system calls.
+
+0.9.0 (7/26/2015):
------------------
+- New icon for Kali Linux, submitted by Francesco D'Eugenio.
+
+- Minor code changes to ensure that rEFInd compiles with GCC 5.1. (Tested
+ with GNU-EFI on a Fedora 22 system; not yet tested with the TianoCore
+ EDK2.)
+
+- Added new "fold_linux_kernels" token to refind.conf. This option, when
+ active (the default) "folds" all Linux kernels in a directory into a
+ single entry on the rEFInd menu. The kernel with the most recent time
+ stamp is launched by default. To launch another kernel, you must press F2
+ or Insert; additional kernels appear as options on the first kernel's
+ submenu. To see the pre-0.9.0 behavior, you must set "fold_linux_kernels
+ false" (or one of its synonyms, "off" or "0"). The point of this option
+ is to help de-clutter the rEFInd main menu.
+
+- Added new Linux root (/) partition auto-discovery feature, based on
+ Freedesktop.org's Discoverable Partitions Spec (DPS)
+ (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/DiscoverablePartitionsSpec/):
+ If no refind_linux.conf file or /etc/fstab file is found, and if a
+ partition with the correct DPS type code for the system architecture is
+ found, rEFInd adds "ro root=/dev/disk/by-partuuid/{GUID}" to the kernel
+ options. This will not help on LVM setups, and will get it right for only
+ one installation on systems with multiple Linux installations, but it may
+ help some users, if/when the DPS type codes become more common.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused a rEFInd crash if an empty refind_linux.conf
+ file was encountered.
+
+- The mkrlconf.sh script now checks the OS on which it's running, which
+ should help avoid confusion or problems by users who mistakenly run it
+ under OS X.
+
+- rEFInd now skips checking for various BIOS-mode boot sector signatures
+ when running on a UEFI-based PC; these checks are run only on Macs. This
+ may reduce startup time on systems with many partitions.
+
+- Fixed Debian debinstall script to work correctly on IA32 systems. It had
+ a bug that caused filesystem drivers and gptsync to not be packaged for
+ IA32.
+
+- Modified Debian postinst file to call install.sh with --localkeys option
+ if sbsign and openssl are available, even when NOT in Secure Boot mode or
+ if shim is not detected. This helps with my Ubuntu PPA when using custom
+ Secure Boot keys, since the PPA is delivered unsigned. (Users will have
+ to have added their own local keys to their firmware's db.) For
+ consistency, I've made the same change to the RPM .spec file.
+
+0.8.7 (3/1/2015):
+-----------------
+
+- Fixed install.sh bug that caused inappropriate installation under the
+ name bootx64.efi (or bootia32.efi) under Linux, with a failure to update
+ the boot entries in NVRAM, has been fixed.
+
+- Added identification of XFS as filesystem type in volume descriptions.
+
+- More fixes to filesystem type detection code. Previous version sometimes
+ identified FAT or NTFS (or anything with a boot loader) as a whole-disk
+ device rather than the correct filesystem type.
+
+- Added protections to the code to reduce the risk of crashes that might
+ occur when dereferencing NULL pointers in various situations.
+
+- I'm deprecating the use of filesystem numbers (as in "fs0:") because
+ they're unreliable -- filesystem numbers can change between boots and
+ might not be the same as those used in an EFI shell or other program.
+ Sooner or later I'll remove code supporting this feature. In the
+ meantime, if it doesn't work for you, please switch to using filesystem
+ labels, partition labels, or partition GUIDs.
+
+- Added detection of FreeBSD's BIOS-mode GPT boot loader. Previously,
+ rEFInd could detect FreeBSD's BIOS-mode MBR boot loader, which gave
+ FreeBSD an appropriate icon on Macs; but the BIOS-mode GPT boot loader
+ code is different, so some recent FreeBSD installations showed up with
+ generic grey diamond icons. This change creates FreeBSD icons instead.
+
+- Added "Secure Boot [active|inactive]" notice to "about" menu for x86
+ (32-bit) systems, since there are now a few 32-bit UEFI systems that
+ support Secure Boot. (AFAIK, these are mostly tablets and convertibles
+ such as the ASUS T100.)
+
+- Added KeyTool.efi and KeyTool-signed.efi to list of MOK managers. KeyTool
+ is the "super-deluxe" Secure Boot key and hash manager provided as part
+ of the efitools package.
+
+- Fixed more instances of "invalid parameter" errors on some EFIs.
+
+- Improved Secure Boot detection in install.sh.
+
+- install.sh should no longer complain when copying Shim or MokManager over
+ itself.
+
+0.8.6 (2/8/2015):
+-----------------
+
+- Removed special case of ignoring an HFS+ name of "HFS+ volume", since the
+ old rEFInd HFS+ driver that produced this name for all HFS+ volumes has
+ long since been updated to deliver a real name.
+
- Addition of new Windows 8 OS icon. On Macs and for BIOS/legacy boots, the
new icon is now used for Windows Vista, 7, and 8, while the old one is
used for earlier versions of Windows. For EFI-mode boots, the new icon is
- If the NTFS driver is loaded, rEFInd now scans NTFS volumes on Macs for
the presence of Windows boot files, and removes any NTFS volume that
lacks such files from the BIOS/legacy boot list. This should help
- unclutter the display on systems that contain NTFS data partitions.
+ unclutter the display on Macs that contain NTFS data partitions.
- Fixed bug that caused misidentification of both whole disks and NTFS
volumes as being FAT. (This bug affected the identification of devices
- Fixed install.sh bug that caused misidentification of installation
directory under OS X if an already-mounted ESP has spaces in its path.
-- Fixed install.sh bug that could cause misidentification of the ESP on
- disks with partition numbers of 10 or above.
+- Fixed Mac-specific install.sh bug that could cause misidentification of
+ the ESP on disks with partition numbers of 10 or above.
