-0.7.9 (?/??/2014):
+0.8.1 (5/??/2014):
+------------------
+
+- Reversed order of search for icons by extension: rEFInd now searches
+  for PNG files before ICNS files, rather than the other way around. This
+  makes it possible to override a volume icon for rEFInd by giving it the
+  name .VolumeIcon.png, even when a .VolumeIcon.icns file exists on the
+  volume and is used by OS X.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused .VolumeIcon.icns to take higher-than-intended
+  precedence in icon setting for OS X.
+
+- Chainloading to BIOS-mode boot loaders now works on UEFI-based PCs when
+  rEFInd is built with GNU-EFI, not just when built with Tianocore.
+
+0.8.0 (5/4/2014):
+-----------------
+
+- The "dont_scan_volumes" parameter now also works with legacy-boot
+  volumes. Unlike with EFI volumes, where the option you pass must exactly
+  match an entire volume name, when applied to legacy-boot volumes, it
+  matches any part of the description that appears beneath the item when
+  you select it in the rEFInd main menu.
+
+- Can now boot in legacy mode from second (and probably later) hard disks!
+
+- rEFInd now limits the length of the firmware name string shown in the
+  system information screen to 65 characters. This is done because at least
+  one EFI presents a longer string by default, and this causes the entire
+  information display to come up empty on 800x600 displays.
+
+- 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.
+
+0.7.9 (4/20/2014):
 ------------------
 
 - Attempt to fix rEFInd perpetually re-scanning after ejecting a disc on
