-0.3.0 (?/??/2012):
+0.3.5 (5/15/2012):
+------------------
+
+- Removed the GRUB 2 detection "reciped" added with 0.3.2, since I've
+  received reports that it's not working as intended.
+
+- Added re-scan feature: Press the Esc key to have rEFInd re-read its 
+  configuration file, tell the EFI to scan for new filesystems, and re-scan
+  those filesystems for boot loaders. The main purpose is to enable
+  scanning a new removable medium that you insert after launching rEFInd;
+  however, it can also be used to immediately implement changes to the
+  configuration file or new drivers you load from an EFI shell.
+
+- Fixed a bug that could cause the scroll-right arrow to be replaced by the
+  scroll-left arrow under some circumstances.
+
+0.3.4 (5/9/2012):
+-----------------
+
+- Added new configuration file option: "icons_dir", which sets the name
+  of the subdirectory in which icons are found. See the documentation or
+  sample configuration file for a full description.
+
+- Modified Makefile to generate rEFInd binary that includes architecture
+  code -- refind_ia32.efi or refind_x64.efi, rather than the generic
+  refind.efi. This is done mainly to help the install.sh script. The
+  program can be named anything you like on the disk. (The generic name
+  refind.efi is used on unknown architectures.)
+
+- Improved install.sh script: Fixed bug on OS X 10.7 and enable it to be
+  used after building from source code (or via new "make install" Makefile
+  target).
+
+- Improved screen redraws to produce less flicker when moving among the
+  second-row tags or to the last tag on the first row.
+
+0.3.3 (5/6/2012):
+-----------------
+
+- Improved menu navigation:
+  - In graphics mode, left & right arrow keys move left & right, while up &
+    down arrows move between rows.
+  - Page Up and Page Down now move through chunks of visible tags (in both
+    text & graphics modes), jumping from one row to another only when at
+    the edge of the row. In text mode, the "rows" are broken down as in
+    graphics mode, but they aren't visibly distinguished on the screen.
+
+- Improved text-mode use: rEFInd now displays the proper number of entries
+  when first started in text mode and scrolling is done sensibly when too
+  many entries exist to fit on the screen.
+
+0.3.2 (5/4/2012):
+-----------------
+
+- Added the install.sh script to install rEFInd on Linux and Mac OS X
+  systems. This script must be run as root (or via sudo). It requires
+  no options, but on Mac OS X, passing it the "esp" option causes it
+  to install rEFInd on the computer's ESP rather than the default of the
+  currently OS X boot partition. (Under Linux, the default is to install to
+  the ESP.) Note that there may be some unusual cases in which this script
+  will fail to work.
+
+- Does a better job of clearing the screen when launching OSes in text
+  mode.
+
+- Added detection "recipe" for GRUB 2's BIOS Boot Partition.
+
+- Fixed bogus detection of ESPs created by Linux's mkdosfs utility or
+  Windows as  bootable partitions when "scanfor" includes BIOS scanning
+  options.
+
+
+0.3.1 (4/27/2012):
+------------------
+
+- Fixed bug that caused spurious "Unsupported while scanning the root
+  directory" messages under some conitions on Macs.
+
+- Modified loader scanning code to sort boot loader entries within a
+  directory by modification time, so that the most recently-modified loader
+  is first among those in a given directory. Thus, if you specify a
+  directory name (or volume name, for loaders stored in the root directory
+  of a volume) as the default_selection, the most recent of those loaders
+  will be the default. This is intended to help with Linux kernel
+  maintenance when using the EFI stub loader; set up this way, the most
+  recent kernel copied to your kernel directory will be the default,
+  obviating the need to adjust the refind.conf file when adding a new
+  kernel. If you want to change the default among those in the default
+  directory, you can use "touch" to adjust the modification timestamp.
+
+- Tweaked code to find loader-specific .icns file so that it finds files
+  for Linux kernels without .efi extensions. In this case, files should be
+  named the same as the kernels they match, but with .icns extensions. For
+  instance, bzImage-3.3.2 should have an icon called bzImage-3.3.2.icns.
+  (The old code would have looked for an icon called bzImage-3.3.icns.)
+
+- Eliminated bogus OS loader tags for filenames that end in ".icns" when
+  the scan_all_linux_kernels option is set.
+
+0.3.0 (4/22/2012):
