-0.8.3 (?/??/2014):
-------------------
+0.8.4 (11/??/2014):
+-------------------
+
+- Tweaked default for dont_scan_volumes: Removed "Recovery HD". This change
+  better suits the needs of OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite") installations, but may
+  result in some stray Recovery HD entries on some Macs.
+
+- Updated icons for Fedora and Ubuntu and added an icon for Xubuntu.
+
+- Added new configuration option, "enable_and_lock_vmx", which sets an
+  Intel CPU feature that's required for some types of virtualization to
+  work. Most EFIs enable setting this feature in their own setup utilities,
+  but some (such as most Macs) don't.
+
+0.8.3 (7/6/2014):
+-----------------
+
+- Added new feature: Setting "timeout = -1" in refind.conf causes rEFInd to
+  immediately boot the default option UNLESS a keypress is in the buffer
+  when rEFInd launches. In that case, if the keypress corresponds to a
+  shortcut key, the associated boot loader is launched; or if not, the menu
+  is displayed.
+
+- Added new icons for Clover boot loader and for Mythbuntu Linux
+  distribution.
+
+- rEFInd now displays the partition's label, when one is available, when
+  offering a BIOS-mode boot option for a partition with no filesystem
+  driver. This works only on Macs doing BIOS-mode booting.
+
+- Removed GPLv2 code from the FSW core files. This was done because the
+  Btrfs driver is derived from the GRUB Btrfs driver, which is licensed
+  under the GPLv3. Ironically, the GPLv2 and GPLv3 are incompatible
+  licenses, so ensuring that the Btrfs driver doesn't rely on GPLv2 code
+  was legally necessary. In most cases, I reverted to the original rEFIt
+  code, although I kept my own cache code; since I wrote it, I can
+  change its license to a BSD license.
 
 - Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to unload drivers immediately after loading
   them. This didn't affect rEFInd's own drivers because they didn't include
