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) 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 + EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi if it's run in BIOS mode. This is + intended to give some chance of producing a bootable installation should + a user accidentally install Linux in EFI mode and then install rEFInd + from that installation. + +- The install.sh script now tries to find an existing rEFInd installation + and upgrade it, even if it's in EFI/BOOT or EFI/Microsoft/Boot rather + than in EFI/refind. + +- New "--yes" option to install.sh to help with unattended or automated + installations (as from an RPM or Debian package). 0.6.2 (12/30/2012): -------------------
