-0.7.7 (1/??/2014):
-------------------
+0.7.8 (3/9/2014):
+-----------------
+
+- Added "debian" directory to source, which facilitates creation of Debian
+  packages. Packages built in this way are built with GNU-EFI and don't run
+  any post-installation script, so although the rEFInd binaries are on the
+  hard disk, they aren't installed to be bootable; you must manually run
+  install.sh. Also, at least on Ubuntu, the Make.common file's /usr/lib64
+  references must be changed to /usr/lib. This is more of a proof of
+  concept and a "leg up" for distribution maintainers than anything else.
+
+- Two new options, big_icon_size and small_icon_size, set the size of
+  the first-row OS icons and of the second-row tool icons, respectively.
+  The big_icon_size option also indirectly sets the size of disk-type
+  badges; they're 1/4 the size of the big icons. Default values are 128 and
+  48, respectively, to match the actual icon files provided with rEFInd. If
+  the icon you're using is of a different size than you've specified,
+  rEFInd scales it. For best quality, you should both provide icons drawn
+  to the right size and set the icon sizes in refind.conf.
+
+- rEFInd now automatically scales icons to fit the standard icon sizes.
+  This won't have any effect with the icons that come with rEFInd, but it
+  can help if you want to use another icon, since you needn't scale it in a
+  graphics program before using it. Note that rEFInd uses bitmap icons, so
+  scaling by a huge amount (say, a 16x16 icon to fit the standard 128x128
+  OS icon) is not likely to look good.
+
+- Added new option, banner_scale, that tells rEFInd how to handle banners:
+  Set to "noscale" (the default), banners are not scaled, although they'll
+  be cropped if they're too big for the display. This is the same as the
+  behavior in previous versions. Set to "fillscreen", rEFInd now scales the
+  banner image (larger or smaller) to fill the display.
+
+- Adjusted the post-installation script in refind.spec (used to generate
+  RPMs, and therefore also indirectly Debian packages) to search for
+  existing shim program files under the filesnames shim.efi and shimx64.efi
+  rather than just shim.efi. Ubuntu uses shimx64.efi, so Debian packages
+  were failing to detect Ubuntu's shim in previous versions. (Note,
+  however, that Ubuntu's early shim 0.1 is unsuitable for use with rEFInd
+  The newer 0.4 version that's in the repositories now should work fine;
+  it's only when installing on an older system that's NOT been updated that
+  problems might arise.

+0.7.7 (1/3/2014):

 - Can now specify complete paths, optionally including volumes, in
   dont_scan_files.
