This change + better suits the needs of OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite") installations, but may + result in some stray Recovery HD entries on some Macs. + +- Updated icons for Fedora and Ubuntu and added an icon for Xubuntu. + +- Added new configuration option, "enable_and_lock_vmx", which sets an + Intel CPU feature that's required for some types of virtualization to + work. Most EFIs enable setting this feature in their own setup utilities, + but some (such as most Macs) don't. + +- If rEFInd can't locate an icons directory (either the default or one + specified by the icons_dir token), the program switches to text-only + mode. + +- If a loader contains the string "grub" and no other clue to the loader's + OS association exists, search for os_grub.{png|icns} (which is not + provided with rEFInd) or os_linux.{png|icns}. (Previous versions provided + a generic loader icon for GRUB.) + +- Fixed bug that caused dont_scan_files to not work with special-case + boot loaders (for OS X and Windows) when specifying the complete path to + the loader (e.g., EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi). + +- Added support for the iPXE network boot tool (see BUILDING.txt for + building and basic use instructions). + +0.8.3 (7/6/2014): +----------------- + +- Added new feature: Setting "timeout = -1" in refind.conf causes rEFInd to + immediately boot the default option UNLESS a keypress is in the buffer + when rEFInd launches. In that case, if the keypress corresponds to a + shortcut key, the associated boot loader is launched; or if not, the menu + is displayed. + - Added new icons for Clover boot loader and for Mythbuntu Linux distribution.
