+- Inclusion of a sample refind.spec file for the benefit of RPM
+ distribution maintainers who might want to include rEFInd. It's a bit
+ rough, but it gets you a good chunk of the way there....
+
+- The EFI filesystem drivers can now be built with the GNU-EFI toolkit as
+ well as with the TianoCore EDK2. See the BUILDING.txt file for details on
+ how to build them with either toolkit. This improvement doesn't affect
+ users of my binary packages, but it should make it easier for Linux
+ distributions to adopt rEFInd into their package systems.
+
+- Tweaked refind.inf file for better build results using "native" TianoCore
+ EDK2 build process (vs. the Makefile-based build process that I use under
+ Linux). This won't affect those who use my binary builds or build under
+ Linux with the "make" command.

- Fixed bug that prevented Secure Boot launches from working when rEFInd
was built with GNU-EFI rather than the TianoCore EDK2.
- Substantial reworking of Secure Boot code, based on James Bottomley's
PreLoader program. This new code eliminates the limitation of launching
just one driver in Secure Boot mode and is likely to be more reliable
- with future or obscure boot loaders. The basic features are the same as
- before, though -- rEFInd relies on shim for authentication functions and
- will launch programs that are signed by Secure Boot keys, shim keys, or
- MOKs.
-
-- Altered default for "textmode" option to not adjust the text mode
- at all. (Prior versions set it to mode 0 by default.)
