-0.6.10 (?/??/2013):
+0.7.7 (12/??/2013):
-------------------
+- Can now specify complete paths, optionally including volumes, in
+ dont_scan_files.
+
+- Added shimx64.efi to the default dont_scan_files list.
+
+- Added windows_recovery_files token, to specify what program(s) launch a
+ Windows recovery utility; and the "windows_recovery" option to
+ "showtools," to control whether or not to display the Windows recovery
+ utility on the second row of icons.
+
+- The use_graphics_for, also_scan_dirs, dont_scan_dirs, dont_scan_files,
+ and scan_driver_dirs tokens in refind.conf now support "+" as the first
+ option, which causes the remaining options to be added to the default
+ value rather than replacing that value. (This has no practical effect for
+ scan_driver_dirs, though, since it has a null default value.)
+
+- Added support for specifying the configuration file at program launch,
+ via the "-c" parameter, as in "refind_x64.efi -c foo.conf" to use the
+ foo.conf file as the main configuration file.
+
+- Scans of ext2/3/4fs and ReiserFS partitions now omit partitions with
+ duplicate filesystem UUIDs. These are likely parts of RAID arrays and so
+ would have the same boot loaders or kernels as the first one with a given
+ UUID.
+
+- Added feature in install.sh: Script now tries to locate and mount an ESP
+ in Linux, if it's currently unmounted.
+
+- Fixed bug in mkrlconf.sh and install.sh that caused a stray line break
+ and PARTUUID= specification to appear in generated refind_linux.conf file
+ under some circumstances.
+
+0.7.6 (12/15/2013):
+-------------------
+
+- Added support for multiple "default_selection" targets. These MUST be
+ comma-separated AND enclosed in quotes, as in:
+ default_selection "fred,ginger"
+ This example will launch "fred" by default if it's available; and if
+ it's not, rEFInd will attempt to launch "ginger" as the default.
+
+- Added support for time-sensitive "default_selection" setting. This token
+ may now have either one or three options. If one, it's interpreted as it
+ has been in the past, as setting a default that's independent of times.
+ If you follow this default by two times, however, those are interpreted
+ as the start and end times (in 24-hour format) for a default setting. For
+ instance, "default_selection foo 8:00 17:00" causes foo to be the default
+ from 8:00 (AM) to 17:00 (aka 5:00 PM). You can include multiple
+ "default_selection" lines to set different defaults for a variety of
+ times. If they're in conflict, the last one takes precedence. Note that
+ times are hardware clock's native value, which may be local time or UTC,
+ depending on your computer.
+
+- Added support for a blank-screen startup: Set "screensaver -1" and the
+ screen saver will be initialized when rEFInd starts. If you set a low
+ "timeout" value, the result will be a boot straight to the default OS
+ unless you hit a key soon after rEFInd starts. Once you hit a key, the
+ screensaver will be disabled.
+
+- Added --ownhfs {target} option to install.sh. This option causes rEFInd
+ to install to an HFS+ partition in a way that's more consistent with the
+ way the Mac's native boot loader is installed. Note that you should NOT
+ install to an already-bootable partition with this option, since it will
+ overwrite the existing boot loader, which would render OS X unbootable.
+
+0.7.5 (11/10/2013):
+-------------------
+
+- Fixed bug that caused unbootable exFAT partitions to show up as
+ bootable on Macs with BIOS/CSM/legacy boot options enabled.
+
+- Fixed bug in install.sh that caused installs to the ESP on recent
+ versions of OS X to fail.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to hang on some Macs when multiple EFI
+ drivers were present.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused clear to default gray screen when launching OSes
+ with 'use_graphics_for' enabled, even when the rEFInd background is not
+ gray. Now rEFInd clears to the same background color used in its menu.
+ When launching OS X, though, the OS X boot loader will itself clear to
+ gray a second or so later; and when launching Linux, it will clear to
+ black a second or so later.
+
+0.7.4.1 (8/25/2013):
+--------------------
+
+- My initial 0.7.4 release broke legacy-boot ability on Macs, so I quickly
+ released this version using the original 0.7.4 filenames to fix the
+ problem.
+
+0.7.4 (8/25/2013):
+------------------
+
+- Fixed options passing to loader to include loader's filename as the first
+ option. This omission had no effect on most boot loaders, but caused
+ VMware's mboot64.efi to fail.
+
+- Added support for memtest86 as second-row option. Program must be
+ stored in EFI/tools, EFI/tools/memtest, EFI/tools/memtest86, EFI/memtest,
+ or EFI/memtest86; and must use the name memtest86.efi, memtest86_x64.efi,
+ memtest86x64.efi, or bootx64.efi (changing "x64" to "ia32" on IA-32
+ systems). The memtest86 program is scanned for when the "showtools"
+ option includes the "memtest" or "memtest86" token, which it does by
+ default.
+
+- Added space to end of "Boot %s from %s" string; enables adding a space
+ to the end of the "default_selection" item (in quotes) to set a default
+ that matches a volume name that's identical to another one except for
+ extra characters at the end of the non-wanted volume's name.
+
+- Fixed bug that could cause rEFInd to hang when launching boot loaders
+ under some conditions. (Launching from Firewire drives on Macs is the
+ known case, but there may be others.)
+
+0.7.3 (8/7/2013):
+-----------------
+
+- Fixed bug that caused missing media-type badges on BIOS-mode boot
+ loaders on Macs.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused failure when launching BIOS-mode OSes on Macs.
+
+0.7.2 (8/6/2013):
+-----------------
+
+- Fixed bug that caused display glitches in the final entry on the first
+ row of icons if the second row of icons was empty.
+
+- Fixed bug that could cause incorrect scanning or even a rEFInd crash when
+ using volume specification in also_scan_dirs token.
+
+- Added protection against loading invalid drivers and other EFI programs.
+ (Some EFIs crash when attempting to load such drivers and programs.)
+
+- Added PreLoader.efi and shim-fedora.efi to default dont_scan_files list;
+ it's now "shim.efi, shim-fedora.efi, PreLoader.efi, TextMode.efi,
+ ebounce.efi, GraphicsConsole.efi, MokManager.efi, HashTool.efi,
+ HashTool-signed.efi".
+
+- Added icon for Funtoo Linux.
+
+- Fixed reading of volume badges from user-specified icons directory, which
+ was broken.
+
+- Fixed handling of /.VolumeBadge.icns (or /.VolumeBadge.png) files, which
+ was broken.
+
+0.7.1 (7/8/2013):
+-----------------
+
+- Fixed build problem with recent development versions of EDK2.
+
+- Added scan for Boot Repair's backup of the Windows boot loader
+ (bkpbootmgfw.efi). If found, give separate entries for it and for
+ bootmgfw.efi, each with its own descriptive text label.
+
+- Fixed also_scan_dirs; used to have bug that caused it to ignore
+ volume specification, if present.
+
+- Fixed bug in driver cache that caused Btrfs driver to hang sometimes.
+
+0.7.0 (6/27/2013):
+------------------
+
+- Added Btrfs signature to rEFInd, so that it can identify the filesystem
+ type for volumes that lack labels.
+
+- Changed some critical filesystem driver pointers from 32-bit to 64-bit.
+ This *SHOULD* enable use of over-2TiB filesystems (for those filesystems
+ that support such large volumes). This capability is largely untested,
+ though.
+
+- Added a cache to the filesystem driver core, and therefore to all the
+ filesystem drivers. This cache greatly improves performance in
+ VirtualBox, and offers modest performance improvements on a few "real"
+ computers. The most dramatic improvement is on ext2/3fs under VirtualBox:
+ Loading a kernel and initrd used to take ~200 seconds on my system, but
+ now takes ~3 seconds! On most "real" hardware, the improvement is much
+ less dramatic -- an improvement of a second or less, presumably because
+ of cacheing within the EFI or on the hard disk itself.
+
+- Filter boot loaders based on a test of their validity; keeps out Linux
+ kernels without EFI stub loader code, loaders for the wrong architecture,
+ non-EFI loaders, etc.
+
+- New Btrfs driver, contributed by Samuel Liao based on GRUB 2.00 Btrfs
+ code.
+
+0.6.12 (6/18/2013):
+-------------------
+
+- Changed the 64-bit EFI shell included in the CD-R and USB flash drive
+ images to a version 2 shell that should support the "bcfg" command.
+
+- Added support for PreBootloader to refind.spec's built-in installation
+ script.
+
+- Added support for the Linux Foundation's PreLoader to install.sh. It's
+ treated just like shim, including using the --shim option (or, now,
+ --preloader); but it searches for and copies HashTool.efi rather than
+ MokManager.efi, and filenames are adjusted appropriately.
+
+- Added code to determine Linux root filesystem from /etc/fstab file, if
+ it's on the same partition as the kernel and if the refind_linux.conf
+ file is not available. This enables rEFInd to boot Linux without any
+ rEFInd-specific configuration files on some (but not all) systems.
+
+0.6.11 (5/13/2013):
+-------------------
+
+- New feature: rEFInd now ignores symbolic links to files on filesystems
+ that support them. This prevents the "vmlinuz" symbolic link that some
+ distributions create in the root directory from appearing in the loader
+ list. Note that this does NOT affect symbolic links to directories.
+
+- Added icons for Lubuntu and Kubuntu.
+
+- Improved the install.sh script so that it does a better job dealing with
+ directory names that contain spaces.
+
+- rEFInd now tries to guess the Linux distribution type based on the kernel
+ filename (Fedora and RHEL only) or the "ID" or "NAME" variables in
+ /etc/os-release on the kernel's partition. None of these is guaranteed to
+ work. A fallback of the Tux penguin icon remains in place in case rEFInd
+ can't find anything substantive enough for a guess.
+
+- Added "EFI\opensuse" to the locations searched for MOK utilities, since
+ OpenSUSE now uses that name.
+
+- Renamed "Reboot to Firmware User Interface" to "Reboot to Computer Setup
+ Utility" in menu.
+
+- Fixed bug in gptsync that caused it to hang if the disk had too few GPT
+ partitions to fill the MBR.
+
+0.6.10 (5/5/2013):
+------------------
+
+- Added support for "screensaver" token. If set to a positive integer, this
+ causes the screen to blank after the specified number of seconds of
+ inactivity. Pressing most keys (unfortunately NOT including Shift, Alt,
+ or Ctrl) will restore the display and restart the screen saver timeout.
+
- Added icon for ChromeOS (os_chrome.icns in the icons subdirectory).
- ChromeOS reportedly boots using the fallback filename, but if a user
+ ChromeBooks reportedly boots using the fallback filename, but if a user
wants to install rEFInd on a ChromeBook, renaming the original EFI/BOOT
directory to EFI/chrome and then installing rEFInd in the fallback
filename will bring up this new icon for ChromeOS.
