<tr>
<li>Bug fixes, focusing on those that have bothered me personally.</li>
+<li>The ability to specify a configuration file to use at program launch
+ time via the <tt>-c <tt class="variable">filename</tt></tt>
+ command-line option.</li>
+
<li>User-configurable methods of detecting boot loaders:
<ul>
build. Note that some UEFI PCs, such as those with Gigabyte's Hybrid EFI,
lack a usable CSM.</li>
+<li>Improved flexibility in setting the default OS to boot. rEFInd enables specifying the default by any substring in the description. You can also specify multiple defaults, so that if the first isn't available, another will take its place (which is useful when using removable disks). You can also add time specifications to set a default to be used only during certain hours of the day.</li>
+
<li>The ability to fine-tune options passed to EFI boot loaders, via manual configuration.</li>
<li>An option editor to enable you to edit the options passed to an EFI boot loader on a per-boot basis.</li>
<li>Support for full-screen banner images.</li>
+<li>Support for scaling icons, to adjust icon size for users with high-resolution displays, poor eyesight, or simply for personal preference reasons.</li>
+
<li>The ability to set the screen's graphics resolution, within limits imposed by the EFI (as of rEFInd 0.3.0). Similarly, as of version 0.6.0, you can specify the text-mode resolution.</li>
<li>Proper handling of more OS options than can fit on the screen. (rEFIt displays an empty list in graphical mode when it detects too many OSes.)</li>
