+0.7.6 (12/??/2013):
+-------------------
+
+- Added support for a blank-screen startup: Set "screensaver -1" and the
+  screen saver will be initialized when rEFInd starts. If you set a low
+  "timeout" value, the result will be a boot straight to the default OS
+  unless you hit a key soon after rEFInd starts. Once you hit a key, the
+  screensaver will be disabled.
+
+- Modified install.sh and mkrlconf.sh to create a new Linux kernel
+  option set: "Boot without EFI storage paranoia," which passes the
+  efi_no_storage_paranoia option to the kernel.
+
+- Added --ownhfs {target} option to install.sh. This option causes rEFInd
+  to install to an HFS+ partition in a way that's more consistent with the
+  way the Mac's native boot loader is installed. Note that you should NOT
+  install to an already-bootable partition with this option, since it will
+  overwrite the existing boot loader, which would render OS X unbootable.
+
+0.7.5 (11/10/2013):
+-------------------
+
+- Fixed bug that caused unbootable exFAT partitions to show up as
+  bootable on Macs with BIOS/CSM/legacy boot options enabled.
+
+- Fixed bug in install.sh that caused installs to the ESP on recent
+  versions of OS X to fail.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to hang on some Macs when multiple EFI
+  drivers were present.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused clear to default gray screen when launching OSes
+  with 'use_graphics_for' enabled, even when the rEFInd background is not
+  gray. Now rEFInd clears to the same background color used in its menu.
+  When launching OS X, though, the OS X boot loader will itself clear to
+  gray a second or so later; and when launching Linux, it will clear to
+  black a second or so later.
+
+0.7.4.1 (8/25/2013):
+--------------------
+
+- My initial 0.7.4 release broke legacy-boot ability on Macs, so I quickly
+  released this version using the original 0.7.4 filenames to fix the
+  problem.
+
+0.7.4 (8/25/2013):
+------------------
+
+- Fixed options passing to loader to include loader's filename as the first
+  option. This omission had no effect on most boot loaders, but caused
+  VMware's mboot64.efi to fail.
+
+- Added support for memtest86 as second-row option. Program must be
+  stored in EFI/tools, EFI/tools/memtest, EFI/tools/memtest86, EFI/memtest,
+  or EFI/memtest86; and must use the name memtest86.efi, memtest86_x64.efi,
+  memtest86x64.efi, or bootx64.efi (changing "x64" to "ia32" on IA-32
+  systems). The memtest86 program is scanned for when the "showtools"
+  option includes the "memtest" or "memtest86" token, which it does by
+  default.
+
+- Added space to end of "Boot %s from %s" string; enables adding a space
+  to the end of the "default_selection" item (in quotes) to set a default
+  that matches a volume name that's identical to another one except for
+  extra characters at the end of the non-wanted volume's name.
+
+- Fixed bug that could cause rEFInd to hang when launching boot loaders
+  under some conditions. (Launching from Firewire drives on Macs is the
+  known case, but there may be others.)
+
