-0.8.6 (?/??/2016):
+0.8.8 (6/??/2015):
------------------
+- Added new Linux root (/) partition auto-discovery feature, based on
+ Freedesktop.org's Discoverable Partitions Spec (DPS)
+ (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/DiscoverablePartitionsSpec/):
+ If no refind_linux.conf file or /etc/fstab file is found, and if a
+ partition with the correct DPS type code for the system architecture is
+ found, rEFInd adds "ro root=/dev/disk/by-partuuid/{GUID}" to the kernel
+ options. This will not help on LVM setups, and will get it right for only
+ one installation on systems with multiple Linux installations, but it may
+ help some users, if/when the DPS type codes become more common.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused a rEFInd crash if an empty refind_linux.conf
+ file was encountered.
+
+- The mkrlconf.sh script now checks the OS on which it's running, which
+ should help avoid confusion or problems by users who mistakenly run it
+ under OS X.
+
+- rEFInd now skips checking for various BIOS-mode boot sector signatures
+ when running on a UEFI-based PC; these checks are run only on Macs. This
+ may reduce startup time on systems with many partitions.
+
+- Fixed Debian debinstall script to work correctly on IA32 systems. It had
+ a bug that caused filesystem drivers and gptsync to not be packaged for
+ IA32.
+
+- Modified Debian postinst file to call install.sh with --localkeys option
+ if sbsign and openssl are available, even when NOT in Secure Boot mode or
+ if shim is not detected. This helps with my Ubuntu PPA when using custom
+ Secure Boot keys, since the PPA is delivered unsigned. (Users will have
+ to have added their own local keys to their firmware's db.) For
+ consistency, I've made the same change to the RPM .spec file.
+
+0.8.7 (3/1/2015):
+-----------------
+
+- Fixed install.sh bug that caused inappropriate installation under the
+ name bootx64.efi (or bootia32.efi) under Linux, with a failure to update
+ the boot entries in NVRAM, has been fixed.
+
+- Added identification of XFS as filesystem type in volume descriptions.
+
+- More fixes to filesystem type detection code. Previous version sometimes
+ identified FAT or NTFS (or anything with a boot loader) as a whole-disk
+ device rather than the correct filesystem type.
+
+- Added protections to the code to reduce the risk of crashes that might
+ occur when dereferencing NULL pointers in various situations.
+
+- I'm deprecating the use of filesystem numbers (as in "fs0:") because
+ they're unreliable -- filesystem numbers can change between boots and
+ might not be the same as those used in an EFI shell or other program.
+ Sooner or later I'll remove code supporting this feature. In the
+ meantime, if it doesn't work for you, please switch to using filesystem
+ labels, partition labels, or partition GUIDs.
+
+- Added detection of FreeBSD's BIOS-mode GPT boot loader. Previously,
+ rEFInd could detect FreeBSD's BIOS-mode MBR boot loader, which gave
+ FreeBSD an appropriate icon on Macs; but the BIOS-mode GPT boot loader
+ code is different, so some recent FreeBSD installations showed up with
+ generic grey diamond icons. This change creates FreeBSD icons instead.
+
+- Added "Secure Boot [active|inactive]" notice to "about" menu for x86
+ (32-bit) systems, since there are now a few 32-bit UEFI systems that
+ support Secure Boot. (AFAIK, these are mostly tablets and convertibles
+ such as the ASUS T100.)
+
+- Added KeyTool.efi and KeyTool-signed.efi to list of MOK managers. KeyTool
+ is the "super-deluxe" Secure Boot key and hash manager provided as part
+ of the efitools package.
+
+- Fixed more instances of "invalid parameter" errors on some EFIs.
+
+- Improved Secure Boot detection in install.sh.
+
+- install.sh should no longer complain when copying Shim or MokManager over
+ itself.
+
+0.8.6 (2/8/2015):
+-----------------
+
+- Removed special case of ignoring an HFS+ name of "HFS+ volume", since the
+ old rEFInd HFS+ driver that produced this name for all HFS+ volumes has
+ long since been updated to deliver a real name.
+
+- Addition of new Windows 8 OS icon. On Macs and for BIOS/legacy boots, the
+ new icon is now used for Windows Vista, 7, and 8, while the old one is
+ used for earlier versions of Windows. For EFI-mode boots, the new icon is
+ used universally.
+
+- If the NTFS driver is loaded, rEFInd now scans NTFS volumes on Macs for
+ the presence of Windows boot files, and removes any NTFS volume that
+ lacks such files from the BIOS/legacy boot list. This should help
+ unclutter the display on Macs that contain NTFS data partitions.
+
- Fixed bug that caused misidentification of both whole disks and NTFS
volumes as being FAT. (This bug affected the identification of devices
and locations in the rEFInd menu, not actual access to devices.)
- 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 Mac-specific install.sh bug that could cause misidentification of
+ the ESP on disks with partition numbers of 10 or above.
