+0.6.9 (4/25/2013):
+------------------
+
+- Modified default banner to include the new rEFInd icon, provided by Erik
+  Kemperman.
+
+- Worked around a suspected firmware bug that caused rEFInd 0.6.6 to 0.6.8
+  to hang at startup on some systems (DUET and some Macs).
+
+- Modified rEFInd to search for gptsync under the names gptsync.efi and
+  gptsync_{arch}.efi, where {arch} is ia32 or x64. (Previous versions
+  searched only for gptsync.efi.)
+
+- Added gptsync program from rEFIt project, but with some changes to
+  improve flexibility and make it less likely that UEFI users will
+  accidentally trash their systems.
+
+- Changed timeout code so that the timeout continues if the keyboard is
+  disconnected. This can help in booting a headless server or a system with
+  a bluetooth or other keyboard that's not recognized by the EFI.
+
+0.6.8 (3/18/2013):
+------------------
+
+- Added workaround for presumed EFI bug that was causing "Invalid
+  Parameter" errors when scanning for boot loaders on some computers.
+
+- Added search for an EFI shell called shell.efi in the root directory
+  (previously this name was only accepted in EFI\tools).
+
+- Fixed bug in install.sh that caused it to fail on some systems (Fedora
+  18, for instance) because of a problem identifying the ESP.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused icons named after boot loaders to not be used.
+
+0.6.7 (2/3/2013):
+-----------------
+
+- Added a more explicit error message summarizing options when a launch of
+  a program results in a Secure Boot failure.
+
+- Changed MOK tool detection to scan all volumes, not just the rEFInd
+  home volume. This is desirable because the Linux Foundation's HashTool
+  can only scan its own volume, making it desirable to place copies of this
+  program on every volume that holds EFI boot loader binaries.
+
+- Added support for launching the Linux Foundation HashTool as a means of
+  managing MOKs (or MOK hashes, at any rate).
+
+- Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to present an entry for itself as a
+  Microsoft OS if it was launched as EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused dont_scan_volumes option to be added to
+  also_scan_dirs list.
+
+- Fixed dont_scan_volumes so that it works with OS X boot loaders.
+
+- Fixed broken mixing of PNG and ICNS icons when using a user-specified
+  icons directory -- previously, an ICNS file in the default directory
+  would override a PNG file in the user-specified directory.
+
+0.6.6 (1/26/2013):
+------------------
+
+- rEFInd now ignores the fallback boot loader (EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi or
+  EFI/BOOT/bootia32.efi) if it's identical to another boot loader on
+  the same volume. This is intended to help unclutter the display on
+  systems that run Windows, since Windows tends to duplicate its own boot
+  loader under the fallback name.
+
+- Added new "font" token to refind.conf, which enables specifying a font in
+  the form of a PNG file. This file must contain monospace glyphs for the
+  95 characters from ASCII 32 to 126 (space through tilde), inclusive, plus
+  a glyph to be displayed for characters outside of this range, for a total
+  of 96 glyphs.
+
+- Replaced the old font (inherited from rEFInd) with an anti-aliased
+  version of Luxi Mono Regular 14 point.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to ignore manual boot stanzas in files
+  included via the "include" token in refind.conf.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused ASSERT error on some systems (and conceivably a
+  crash on startup on some) when default_selection line in refind.conf was
+  commented out or empty.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused "Binary is whitelisted" message to persist on
+  screen after loading MOK-signed drivers in Secure Boot mode.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to ignore the "icon" token in refind.conf
+  manual boot stanzas.
+
+- Fixed bug in install.sh that caused the script to fail to update
+  drivers when rEFInd was installed in EFI/BOOT/.
