-0.6.13 (?/??/2013):

+0.7.0 (6/27/2013):
+------------------
 
+- Added Btrfs signature to rEFInd, so that it can identify the filesystem
+  type for volumes that lack labels.
+
+- Changed some critical filesystem driver pointers from 32-bit to 64-bit.
+  This *SHOULD* enable use of over-2TiB filesystems (for those filesystems
+  that support such large volumes). This capability is largely untested,
+  though.
+
+- Added a cache to the filesystem driver core, and therefore to all the
+  filesystem drivers. This cache greatly improves performance in
+  VirtualBox, and offers modest performance improvements on a few "real"
+  computers. The most dramatic improvement is on ext2/3fs under VirtualBox:
+  Loading a kernel and initrd used to take ~200 seconds on my system, but
+  now takes ~3 seconds! On most "real" hardware, the improvement is much
+  less dramatic -- an improvement of a second or less, presumably because
+  of cacheing within the EFI or on the hard disk itself.
+
+- Filter boot loaders based on a test of their validity; keeps out Linux
+  kernels without EFI stub loader code, loaders for the wrong architecture,
+  non-EFI loaders, etc.
+
+- New Btrfs driver, contributed by Samuel Liao based on GRUB 2.00 Btrfs
+  code.
