-0.3.6 (5/20/2012):
+0.4.5 (8/12/2012):
+------------------
+
+- Fixed bug that caused a failure to boot BIOS-based OSes on Macs.
+
+- Fixed bug in install.sh that caused it to fail to detect rEFItBlesser.
+
+0.4.4 (6/23/2012):
+------------------
+
+- Fixed bug that caused filesystem labels to be corrupted by rEFInd on
+  32-bit systems.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused filesystem labels to be truncated in the drivers
+  on 32-bit systems.
+
+- Fixed bug in use_graphics_for option parsing that caused most options
+  to set graphics mode for OS X and/or Linux but not other boot
+  loaders/OSes.
+
+- Tweaked install script to better isolate the ESP under OS X.
+
+0.4.3 (6/21/2012):
+------------------
+
+- rEFInd now supports compilation using the TianoCore UDK2010/EDK2
+  development kit in addition to GNU-EFI.
+
+- Added new "use_graphics_for" option to control which OSes to boot in
+  graphics mode. (This effect lasts for a fraction of a second on most
+  systems, since the boot loader that rEFInd launches is likely to set
+  graphics or text mode itself.)
+
+- Graphics-mode booting now clears the screen to the current rEFInd
+  background color (rather than black) and does NOT display boot messages.
+  The intent is for a smoother transition when booting OS X, or perhaps
+  other OSes that don't display boot loader messages. In practice, this
+  effect will be tiny for many OSes, since the boot loader generally clears
+  the screen within a fraction of a second of being launched; but the
+  "flicker" of a rEFInd message in that time can sometimes be distracting.
+
+- Filesystem drivers now work on EFI 1.x systems, such as Macs.
+
+- Removed "linux.conf" as a valid alternative name for "refind_linux.conf"
+  for holding Linux kernel options. The kernel developers plan to use
+  "linux.conf" themselves.
+
+0.4.2 (6/3/2012):
+-----------------
+
+- Added a message to install.sh when run on Macs to remind users to update
+  the "scanfor" line in refind.conf if they need to boot BIOS-based OSes
+  via rEFInd.
+
+- Modified install.sh script to be smarter about running efibootmgr on
+  Linux. It now uses the whole path to the rEFInd binary as a key to
+  determine whether an existing entry exists, rather than just the filename
+  portion. If an entry exists and is the first entry in the boot order, the
+  script does nothing to the NVRAM entries. If such an entry exists but is
+  not the default, the script deletes that entry and creates a new one
+  (implicitly making it the first in the boot order). If such an entry does
+  not exist, the script creates a new one (again, making it the first in
+  the boot order).
+
+- Added "dont_scan_dirs" configuration file option, which adds directories
+  to a "blacklist" of directories that are NOT scanned for boot loaders.
+
+0.4.1 (5/25/2012):
+------------------
+
+- Added "scanning for new boot loaders" message to the re-scan function
+  (hitting Esc at the main menu). It usually flashes up too quickly to
+  be of importance, but if the scan function takes a while because of
+  access to a CD that must be spun up, it should make it clear that the
+  system hasn't hung.
+
+- Modified install.sh script to detect rEFItBlesser on Macs, and if
+  present, to ask the user if it should be removed.
+
+- Cleaned up the Make.common file for the filesystem drivers.
+
+- Changed HFS+ driver to return volume label of "HFS+ volume" rather than
+  an empty label. (The driver doesn't currently read the real volume
+  label.)
+
+- Fixed bug that could cause rEFInd to appear in its own menu after
+  running a shell and then re-scanning for boot loaders.
+
+0.4.0 (5/20/2012):
 ------------------
 
 - Inclusion of drivers for ISO-9660, HFS+, ReiserFS, and ext2fs. Most of
