+- 0.6.2 (12/30/2012)—This version's biggest changes are "behind-the-scenes" improvements. Specifically, I've completely re-worked the shim/MOK Secure Boot code, based largely on an approach used by James Bottomley in his PreLoader boot loader. This fixes some bugs, such as the inability to launch more than one EFI boot loader in Secure Boot mode. The EFI filesystem drivers can now be built with GNU-EFI, which may help distribution maintainers. I'm also providing RPM packages of rEFInd, although I recommend installing from the binary zip file. Finally, I've changed rEFInd's default text-mode setting behavior to not adjust the text mode. (Recent previous versions forced the system to use text mode 0, which cuased problems on some systems.)

- 0.6.1 (12/21/2012)—(Mayan apocalypse edition!) This version features a number of refinements and minor bug fixes. The install.sh script now includes a new --root option to enable easier installation of rEFInd to a regular OS installation from an emergency disc. The ext4fs driver now supports the meta_bg filesystem feature. I've fixed a number of obscure display resolution-setting bugs and a bug that caused the screen to clear after displaying certain error messages but before prompting you to continue. Instead of displaying a blank filesystem label as the "from" location for a boot loader, rEFInd now describes the filesystem by its type (FAT, ext4fs, etc.) and/or size. rEFInd also now uses the filesystem label as a hint about what type of icon to display for a boot loader.
- 0.6.0 (12/16/2012)—The donation of a working ext4fs driver from Stefan Agner has prompted another big jump in the rEFInd version number, since this driver will greatly simplify installation on many systems: You may be able to simply run the install.sh script to get a working rEFInd that boots your Linux kernels directly, bypassing GRUB or ELILO. Other improvements in this version include bug fixes and minor changes to install.sh, the addition of hint text to the rEFInd main menu, the ability to disable the options editor via the editor option to hideui in refind.conf, a new textmode option to refind.conf to set the size of the text-mode display, a change to the code that adds your initial RAM disk to the boot options so that if you specify one manually (via refind_linux.conf), it will take precedence, and assorted obscure bug fixes. The NEWS.txt file goes into more details about many of these changes, as do the relevant pages of this HTML documentation.
