+0.8.6 (?/??/2016):
+------------------
+
+- Reverted rEFIt commit r472, introduced in rEFInd 0.8.5 to support more
+  BMP images because I've received bug reports that it's causing existing
+  selection images to fail to load.
+
+- Fixed install.sh bug that caused misidentification of installation
+  directory under OS X if an already-mounted ESP has spaces in its path.
+
+- Fixed install.sh bug that could cause misidentification of the ESP on
+  disks with partition numbers of 10 or above.

+- Fixed bug in Btrfs driver's address reference.
+
+- Improved install.sh to make it smarter about figuring out where to
+  install on Macs. Specifically, this version now upgrades existing
+  installations, if found (as it always has under Linux), rather than
+  blindly install to EFI/BOOT; it installs to EFI/refind if not existing
+  installation is found; it installs using the --shortform option to bless,
+  which seems to eliminate the 30-second delay problem; and it can handle
+  an HFS+ ESP, which it treats as a separate HFS+ volume (as if the user
+  had used --ownhfs). These changes do not affect behavior under Linux.
+
+- Added missing check of architecture type for several tools.
+
+- Applied rEFIt commit r472, which adds support for BMP images with negative
+  height fields, indicating that the image is NOT vertically flipped. This
+  commit and r467 were not incorporated in the original rEFInd because I
+  forked it from a Debian rEFIt package that had been patched to build
+  under GNU-EFI, and was apparently based on a slightly earlier version.
+
+- Applied rEFIt commit r467, which improves Mac handling of legacy boots
+  from other than the first hard disk.

   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).
