This is intended to help unclutter the display on + systems that run Windows, since Windows tends to duplicate its own boot + loader under the fallback name. + +- Added new "font" token to refind.conf, which enables specifying a font in + the form of a PNG file. This file must contain monospace glyphs for the + 95 characters from ASCII 32 to 126 (space through tilde), inclusive, plus + a glyph to be displayed for characters outside of this range, for a total + of 96 glyphs. + +- Replaced the old font (inherited from rEFInd) with an anti-aliased + version of Luxi Mono Regular 14 point. + +- Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to ignore manual boot stanzas in files + included via the "include" token in refind.conf. + +- 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) or one of the fallback locations + 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
