-0.6.10 (?/??/2013):
+0.7.0 (?/??/2013):
+------------------
+
+- Added a cache to all the filesystem drivers except for ext2fs. This cache
+  greatly improves performance in VirtualBox, and offers modest performance
+  improvements on a few "real" computers. The ext2fs driver loads blocks in
+  a strange non-linear fashion that causes the cache to degrade
+  performance, so I've disabled the cache for ext2fs. (Ext4fs doesn't
+  suffer from this problem.)
+
+- Filter boot loaders based on a test of their validity; keeps out Linux
+  kernels without EFI stub loader code, loaders for the wrong architecture,
+  non-EFI loaders, etc.
+
+- New Btrfs driver, contributed by Samuel Liao based on GRUB 2.00 Btrfs
+  code.
+
+0.6.12 (6/18/2013):
 -------------------
 
+- Changed the 64-bit EFI shell included in the CD-R and USB flash drive
+  images to a version 2 shell that should support the "bcfg" command.
+
+- Added support for PreBootloader to refind.spec's built-in installation
+  script.
+
+- Added support for the Linux Foundation's PreLoader to install.sh. It's
+  treated just like shim, including using the --shim option (or, now,
+  --preloader); but it searches for and copies HashTool.efi rather than
+  MokManager.efi, and filenames are adjusted appropriately.
+
+- Added code to determine Linux root filesystem from /etc/fstab file, if
+  it's on the same partition as the kernel and if the refind_linux.conf
+  file is not available. This enables rEFInd to boot Linux without any
+  rEFInd-specific configuration files on some (but not all) systems.
+
+0.6.11 (5/13/2013):
+-------------------
+
+- New feature: rEFInd now ignores symbolic links to files on filesystems
+  that support them. This prevents the "vmlinuz" symbolic link that some
+  distributions create in the root directory from appearing in the loader
+  list. Note that this does NOT affect symbolic links to directories.
+
+- Added icons for Lubuntu and Kubuntu.
+
+- Improved the install.sh script so that it does a better job dealing with
+  directory names that contain spaces.
+
+- rEFInd now tries to guess the Linux distribution type based on the kernel
+  filename (Fedora and RHEL only) or the "ID" or "NAME" variables in
+  /etc/os-release on the kernel's partition. None of these is guaranteed to
+  work. A fallback of the Tux penguin icon remains in place in case rEFInd
+  can't find anything substantive enough for a guess.
+
 - Added "EFI\opensuse" to the locations searched for MOK utilities, since
   OpenSUSE now uses that name.
