-0.6.2 (12/??/2012):
+0.6.3 (?/?/2013):
+-----------------
+
+- Added the ability to specify a volume name or number in the
+ "dont_scan_dirs" token.
+
+- Fixed a bug that caused removable EFI media to not appear in scan lists
+ if rEFInd was installed as EFI/BOOT/boot{arch}.efi on a hard disk.
+
+- Modified ISO-9660 driver so that it can handle discs with other than
+ 2048-byte sectors. This makes it useful for reading "hybrid ISO" images
+ burned to USB flash disks.
+
+- New mvrefind.sh script to move a rEFInd installation between a standard
+ location (typically EFI/refind) or one of the fallback locations
+ (EFI/BOOT or EFI/Microsoft/Boot). It can also do more exotic locations.
+
+- The install.sh script now installs to EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi or
+ EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi if it's run in BIOS mode. This is
+ intended to give some chance of producing a bootable installation should
+ a user accidentally install Linux in EFI mode and then install rEFInd
+ from that installation.
+
+- The install.sh script now tries to find an existing rEFInd installation
+ and upgrade it, even if it's in EFI/BOOT or EFI/Microsoft/Boot rather
+ than in EFI/refind.
+
+- New "--yes" option to install.sh to help with unattended or automated
+ installations (as from an RPM or Debian package).
+
+0.6.2 (12/30/2012):
-------------------
+- Inclusion of a sample refind.spec file for the benefit of RPM
+ distribution maintainers who might want to include rEFInd. It's a bit
+ rough, but it gets you a good chunk of the way there....
+
+- The EFI filesystem drivers can now be built with the GNU-EFI toolkit as
+ well as with the TianoCore EDK2. See the BUILDING.txt file for details on
+ how to build them with either toolkit. This improvement doesn't affect
+ users of my binary packages, but it should make it easier for Linux
+ distributions to adopt rEFInd into their package systems.
+
+- Tweaked refind.inf file for better build results using "native" TianoCore
+ EDK2 build process (vs. the Makefile-based build process that I use under
+ Linux). This won't affect those who use my binary builds or build under
+ Linux with the "make" command.
+
- Fixed bug that prevented Secure Boot launches from working when rEFInd
was built with GNU-EFI rather than the TianoCore EDK2.
- Substantial reworking of Secure Boot code, based on James Bottomley's
PreLoader program. This new code eliminates the limitation of launching
just one driver in Secure Boot mode and is likely to be more reliable
- with future or obscure boot loaders. The basic features are the same as
- before, though -- rEFInd relies on shim for authentication functions and
- will launch programs that are signed by Secure Boot keys, shim keys, or
- MOKs.
-
-- Altered default for "textmode" option to not adjust the text mode
- at all. (Prior versions set it to mode 0 by default.)
+ with future or obscure boot loaders. It should also work with non-x86-64
+ systems, although this relies on a platform-specific shim program, which
+ to date exists only for x86-64. The basic features are the same as before
+ -- rEFInd relies on shim for authentication functions and will launch
+ programs that are signed by Secure Boot keys, shim keys, or MOKs.
+
+- Altered default for "textmode" option (when it's commented out) to not
+ adjust the text mode at all. (Prior versions set it to mode 0 by
+ default.)
