This new code eliminates the limitation of launching + just one driver in Secure Boot mode and is likely to be more reliable + with future or obscure boot loaders. The basic features are the same as + before, though -- rEFInd relies on shim for authentication functions and + will launch programs that are signed by Secure Boot keys, shim keys, or + MOKs. + +- Altered default for "textmode" option to not adjust the text mode + at all. (Prior versions set it to mode 0 by default.) + +0.6.1 (12/21/2012): +------------------- + +- Added "--root" option to install.sh, to enable installation of rEFInd + to something other than the currently-running OS. This is intended for + use on emergency discs. + +- Thanks to Stefan Agner, the ext4fs driver now supports the "meta_bg" + filesystem feature, which distributes metadata throughout the disk. This + feature isn't used by default, but can be set at filesystem creation time + by passing the "-O meta_bg,^resize_inode" option to mke2fs. (Using + "^resize_inode" is necessary because meta_bg is incompatible with + resize_inode, which IS used by default.) This feature can be used on + ext3fs and ext2fs as well as on ext4fs, so the ext4fs driver can now + handle some ext3fs and ext2fs partitions that the ext2fs driver can't + handle. + - Fixed some screen resolution-setting bugs. - Added the "words" that make up a filesystem's label (delimited by spaces,
