-0.8.3 (?/??/2014):
+0.8.4 (12/8/2014):
 ------------------
 
+- Tweaked default for dont_scan_volumes: Removed "Recovery HD". This change
+  better suits the needs of OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite") installations, but may
+  result in some stray Recovery HD entries on some Macs.
+
+- Updated icons for Fedora and Ubuntu and added an icon for Xubuntu.
+
+- Added new configuration option, "enable_and_lock_vmx", which sets an
+  Intel CPU feature that's required for some types of virtualization to
+  work. Most EFIs enable setting this feature in their own setup utilities,
+  but some (such as most Macs) don't.
+
+- If rEFInd can't locate an icons directory (either the default or one
+  specified by the icons_dir token), the program switches to text-only
+  mode.
+
+- If a loader contains the string "grub" and no other clue to the loader's
+  OS association exists, search for os_grub.{png|icns} (which is not
+  provided with rEFInd) or os_linux.{png|icns}. (Previous versions provided
+  a generic loader icon for GRUB.)
+
+- Fixed bug that caused dont_scan_files to not work with special-case
+  boot loaders (for OS X and Windows) when specifying the complete path to
+  the loader (e.g., EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi).
+
+- Added support for the iPXE network boot tool (see BUILDING.txt for
+  building and basic use instructions).
+
+0.8.3 (7/6/2014):
+-----------------
+
+- Added new feature: Setting "timeout = -1" in refind.conf causes rEFInd to
+  immediately boot the default option UNLESS a keypress is in the buffer
+  when rEFInd launches. In that case, if the keypress corresponds to a
+  shortcut key, the associated boot loader is launched; or if not, the menu
+  is displayed.
+
+- Added new icons for Clover boot loader and for Mythbuntu Linux
+  distribution.
+
+- rEFInd now displays the partition's label, when one is available, when
+  offering a BIOS-mode boot option for a partition with no filesystem
+  driver. This works only on Macs doing BIOS-mode booting.
+
 - Removed GPLv2 code from the FSW core files. This was done because the
   Btrfs driver is derived from the GRUB Btrfs driver, which is licensed
   under the GPLv3. Ironically, the GPLv2 and GPLv3 are incompatible
