+0.10.3 (?/??/2016):
+-------------------
+
+- Tightened exclusion of shell binary filenames from boot loader scan.
+  Previously, any filename containing the substring "shell" was excluded
+  from scans. Now it's tighter; only files matching one of the filenames in
+  the constant SHELL_NAMES in main.c are excluded. This change will enable
+  programs with names that include "shell", but that aren't in rEFInd's
+  SHELL_NAMES list, such as "shelly.efi", to be shown in the rEFInd main
+  menu.
+
+- Fixed bug in NTFS driver that caused it to hang (and thus hang the
+  computer) in some situations, particularly when a file on an NTFS volume
+  had many fragments and when the computer's CSM was activated. (Fix
+  courtesy of "S L.")
+
+- Modified SIP/CSR rotation code: If the csr-active-config EFI variable is
+  missing AND the firmware is Apple (as identified by the string "Apple"
+  being present in the ST->FirmwareVendor string), rEFInd treats the
+  computer as one on which SIP is available and set to the "enabled" state
+  (0x10). The upshot is that the SIP/CSR tool will appear if the showtools
+  and csr_values options are set appropriately in refind.conf, even if the
+  csr-active-config variable is missing from the NVRAM. The point of this
+  change is that I've received reports of some Macs that run OS X 10.11 but
+  that lack this variable. OS X acts as if SIP were enabled, but rEFInd is
+  then unable to disable SIP. This change gives rEFInd the ability to
+  disable SIP on such systems. The drawback is that the variable might be
+  set on some systems that don't run OS X 10.11. This should be harmless
+  from a technical point of view, but the presence of SIP indicators in
+  rEFInd could be confusing.
+
+- Added refind-mkdefault script to simplify resetting rEFInd as the default
+  boot program in Linux. The intent is to run this after GRUB, Windows, OS
+  X, or some other tool takes over as the primary boot manager. It can be
+  called from a startup script to handle this task automatically.
