+- 0.7.9 (4/20/2014)—This version includes a number of bug fixes: install.sh no longer displays error messages if the dmraid utility isn't available; the HFS+ driver now reports a correct volume name; filesystem driver bugs that could cause lockups have been fixed; a redundant "utility" in the MOK utility's description has been removed; and an (as-yet untested) attempt to fix a continuous-rescanning problem after ejecting a disc on some computers has been implemented. In addition, rEFInd now removes redundant kernel entries on Ubuntu systems to keep the menu uncluttered and a new gdisk option has been added to the showtools item. (An EFI version of my gdisk utility can be built with the help of the UEFI GPT fdisk library.)

- 0.7.8 (3/9/2014—This version emphasizes changes to icon and banner graphics handling. Internally, rEFInd can now scale graphics, which previous versions could not do. To make use of this feature, three new refind.conf tokens now exist: big_icon_size and small_icon_size set the sizes of big (first-row OS) and small (second-row tool) icons; and banner_scale tells rEFInd to draw banners to a 1:1 scale (noscale, the default) or to scale the banner to fill the screen (fillscreen). See Table 1 on the configuration page of this document for more on these new options. I've also adjusted the post-installation script used by the RPM and Debian packages to search for existing Shim programs called shimx64.efi, not just shim.efi (as had been done before). This should help when installing a package on distributions that use the shimx64.efi filename, such as Ubuntu. Finally, I'm providing a preliminary set of Debian packaging files, which may help distribution maintainers to adopt rEFInd.
- 0.7.7 (1/3/2014)—A new configuration file token, windows_recovery_files, leads this list of changes; you can use it to specify files that boot Windows recovery tools. If you include the windows_recovery option on the showtools line, these files will then be represented by a small Windows recovery badge on the second row rather than as a full-sized OS loader, thus reducing clutter and making the purpose of this loader clearer. You can also now specify a complete path to dont_scan_files items, including a volume specifier. The use_graphics_for, also_scan_dirs, dont_scan_dirs, dont_scan_files, scan_driver_dirs, and windows_recovery_files tokens can all now accept + as their first option, which causes subsequent list items to be added to their defaults rather than replacing them. The configuration file can now be specified at program launch by passing a -c option, as in -c myconf.conf; you can use this feature to set up a manual boot stanza that launches rEFInd with modified boot options. Scans of ext2/3/4fs and ReiserFS partitions now omit partitions with filesystem UUIDs that have already been seen. This is an effort to reduce clutter from such partitions that are components of RAID 1 arrays. The install.sh script now attempts to locate and mount an unmounted ESP when run under Linux. Finally, I've fixed a bug in both install.sh and mkrlconf.sh that caused the generated refind_linux.conf file to contain a stray line break and unnecessary PARTUUID= specification on some systems.
