+<li><b>0.10.5 (3/4/2017)</b>&mdash;This version includes a number of
+    modest changes, most of which will be of interest to relatively few
+    people:
+    <ul>
+
+    <li>The touch/tablet support has been improved and so may work with
+        a few more systems.</li>
+
+    <li>The <tt>refind-install</tt> script has been updated to work better
+	with disks other than those whose names take the form
+	<tt>/dev/sd?</tt> and <tt>/dev/hd?</tt> (in Linux).</li>
+
+    <li>For the benefit of new Apple laptops that lack physical Esc and
+	function keys, additional keybindings have been added: Backspace
+	(Delete on most Mac keyboards) now works the same as Esc, and Tab
+	now works the same as F2/Insert/<tt>+</tt>.</li>
+
+    <li>The Linux initial RAM disk detection code has been expanded so that,
+	if two initial RAM disk files are found for a kernel, the one with
+	more characters after the version string that match the equivalent
+	characters in the kernel filename will be used. For instance,
+	suppose the kernel filename is <tt>vmlinuz-4.8.0-32-standard</tt>,
+	and two initial RAM disk files are
+	<tt>initrd-4.8.0-32-standard</tt> and
+	<tt>initrd-4.8.0-32-debug</tt>. The first of those files has nine
+	matching characters after the version string (<tt>-standard</tt>),
+	vs. just one matching character (<tt>-</tt>) for the second. Thus,
+	the first file will be used.</li>
+
+    <li>A second change to Linux initial RAM disk detection is that you can
+	now specify the kernel version string with the string <tt>%v</tt> in
+	the <tt>refind_linux.conf</tt> file's options field. Thus, if your
+	distribution provides two initial RAM disk files per kernel, and
+	also provides numbered kernels, you can create a
+	<tt>refind_linux.conf</tt> file that enables you to boot with either
+	(or both) of the initial RAM disk files that match a specific
+	kernel.</li>
+
+    <li>I've done some minor code optimization in the functions that search
+	for boot loaders. This had no noticeable effect on speed for me, and
+	is likely to be more than offset by the more complex initial RAM
+	disk processing noted above; but it might help a little bit on
+	systems with many boot loaders or kernels.</li>
+
+    </ul>
+</li>
