 -------------------
 
+- rEFInd now uses the partition's name (as stored in the GPT data
+  structures) as a fallback for the filesystem's name if the latter can't
+  be found. Exceptions are if the partition name is one of three generic
+  names used by GPT fdisk: "Microsoft basic data", "Linux filesystem", or
+  "Apple HFS/HFS+". These are ignored in favor of the descriptive fallback
+  (e.g., "20 GiB Btrfs volume")
+
+- It's now possible to specify a volume by partition GUID number in a
+  manual boot stanza. This should be more reliable (albeit also more
+  awkward) than using a filesystem number (such as fs0: or fs1:).
+
 - Fixed memory-allocation bug that could cause error message displays,
   and possibly hangs, when re-scanning boot loaders.
