-0.6.2 (12/??/2012):
+0.6.6 (?/??/2013):
+------------------
+
+- Fixed bug that caused ASSERT error on some systems (and conceivably a
+  crash on startup on some) when default_selection line in refind.conf was
+  commented out or empty.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused "Binary is whitelisted" message to persist on
+  screen after loading MOK-signed drivers in Secure Boot mode.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to ignore the "icon" token in refind.conf
+  manual boot stanzas.
+
+- Fixed bug in install.sh that caused the script to fail to update
+  drivers when rEFInd was installed in EFI/BOOT/.
+
+0.6.5 (1/16/2013):
+------------------
+
+- Improved text color support: rEFInd now uses black text against light
+  backgrounds and white text against dark backgrounds.
+
+- Added support for PNGs as banners, icons, and selectors.
+
+- Added icon for ALT Linux.
+
+- Added "safemode" option to "hideui" token, to hide option to boot into
+  safe mode for OS X ("-v -x" option to boot.efi).
+
+- Added icon for Haiku (os_haiku.icns).
+
+- Enable transparency of icons & main-menu text when the banner icon is
+  sized to cover these areas.
+
+- Fixed bug that could cause rEFInd to crash if fed a banner image that's
+  too big. Note that "too big" can be substantially smaller than the screen
+  resolution!
+
+0.6.4 (1/8/2013):
+-----------------
+
+- Revised install.sh to copy ext2fs driver, rather than ext4fs driver, for
+  ext2/3 filesystems. This can help keep non-functional entries from links
+  from /vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz out of the menu if the system uses ext4fs
+  on root and ext2fs or ext3fs on /boot.
+
+- Fixed a couple of memory management bugs that cause rEFInd to hang at
+  startup on some systems.
+
+0.6.3 (1/6/2013):
+-----------------
+
+- Added the ability to specify a volume name or number in the
+  "dont_scan_dirs" and "also_scan_dirs" tokens.
+
+- Fixed a bug that caused removable EFI media to not appear in scan lists
+  if rEFInd was installed as EFI/BOOT/boot{arch}.efi on a hard disk.
+
+- Modified ISO-9660 driver so that it can handle discs with other than
+  2048-byte sectors. This makes it useful for reading "hybrid ISO" images
+  burned to USB flash disks.
+
+- New mvrefind.sh script to move a rEFInd installation between a standard
+  location (typically EFI/refind) and one of the fallback locations
+  (EFI/BOOT or EFI/Microsoft/Boot). It can also do more exotic locations.
+
+- The install.sh script now installs to EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi or
+  EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi if it's run in BIOS mode. This is
+  intended to give some chance of producing a bootable installation should
+  a user accidentally install Linux in EFI mode and then install rEFInd
+  from that installation.
+
+- The install.sh script now tries to find an existing rEFInd installation
+  and upgrade it, even if it's in EFI/BOOT or EFI/Microsoft/Boot rather
+  than in EFI/refind.
+
+- New "--yes" option to install.sh to help with unattended or automated
+  installations (as from an RPM or Debian package).
+
+0.6.2 (12/30/2012):
 -------------------
 
-- The drivers can now be built with the GNU-EFI toolkit as well as with the
-  TianoCore EDK2. See the BUILDING.txt file for details on how to build
-  them with either toolkit. This improvement doesn't affect users of my
-  binary packages, but it should make it easier for Linux distributions to
-  adopt rEFInd into their package systems.
+- Inclusion of a sample refind.spec file for the benefit of RPM
+  distribution maintainers who might want to include rEFInd. It's a bit
+  rough, but it gets you a good chunk of the way there....
+
+- The EFI filesystem drivers can now be built with the GNU-EFI toolkit as
+  well as with the TianoCore EDK2. See the BUILDING.txt file for details on
+  how to build them with either toolkit. This improvement doesn't affect
+  users of my binary packages, but it should make it easier for Linux
+  distributions to adopt rEFInd into their package systems.
 
 - Tweaked refind.inf file for better build results using "native" TianoCore
   EDK2 build process (vs. the Makefile-based build process that I use under
