-0.6.3 (?/?/2013):
+0.6.7 (?/??/2013):
+------------------
+
+- Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to present an entry for itself as a
+  Microsoft OS if it was launched as EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused dont_scan_volumes option to be added to
+  also_scan_dirst list.
+
+- Fixed dont_scan_volumes so that it works with OS X boot loaders.
+
+- Fixed broken mixing of PNG and ICNS icons when using a user-specified
+  icons directory -- previously, an ICNS file in the default directory
+  would override a PNG file in the user-specified directory.
+
+0.6.6 (1/26/2013):
+------------------
+
+- rEFInd now ignores the fallback boot loader (EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi or
+  EFI/BOOT/bootia32.efi) if it's identical to another boot loader on
+  the same volume. This is intended to help unclutter the display on
+  systems that run Windows, since Windows tends to duplicate its own boot
+  loader under the fallback name.
+
+- Added new "font" token to refind.conf, which enables specifying a font in
+  the form of a PNG file. This file must contain monospace glyphs for the
+  95 characters from ASCII 32 to 126 (space through tilde), inclusive, plus
+  a glyph to be displayed for characters outside of this range, for a total
+  of 96 glyphs.
+
+- Replaced the old font (inherited from rEFInd) with an anti-aliased
+  version of Luxi Mono Regular 14 point.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to ignore manual boot stanzas in files
+  included via the "include" token in refind.conf.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused ASSERT error on some systems (and conceivably a
+  crash on startup on some) when default_selection line in refind.conf was
+  commented out or empty.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused "Binary is whitelisted" message to persist on
+  screen after loading MOK-signed drivers in Secure Boot mode.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused rEFInd to ignore the "icon" token in refind.conf
+  manual boot stanzas.
+
+- Fixed bug in install.sh that caused the script to fail to update
+  drivers when rEFInd was installed in EFI/BOOT/.
+
+0.6.5 (1/16/2013):
+------------------
+
+- Improved text color support: rEFInd now uses black text against light
+  backgrounds and white text against dark backgrounds.
+
+- Added support for PNGs as banners, icons, and selectors.
+
+- Added icon for ALT Linux.
+
+- Added "safemode" option to "hideui" token, to hide option to boot into
+  safe mode for OS X ("-v -x" option to boot.efi).
+
+- Added icon for Haiku (os_haiku.icns).
+
+- Enable transparency of icons & main-menu text when the banner icon is
+  sized to cover these areas.
+
+- Fixed bug that could cause rEFInd to crash if fed a banner image that's
+  too big. Note that "too big" can be substantially smaller than the screen
+  resolution!
+
+0.6.4 (1/8/2013):
 -----------------
 
+- Revised install.sh to copy ext2fs driver, rather than ext4fs driver, for
+  ext2/3 filesystems. This can help keep non-functional entries from links
+  from /vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz out of the menu if the system uses ext4fs
+  on root and ext2fs or ext3fs on /boot.
+
+- Fixed a couple of memory management bugs that cause rEFInd to hang at
+  startup on some systems.
+
+0.6.3 (1/6/2013):
+-----------------
+
+- Added the ability to specify a volume name or number in the
+  "dont_scan_dirs" and "also_scan_dirs" tokens.
+
+- Fixed a bug that caused removable EFI media to not appear in scan lists
+  if rEFInd was installed as EFI/BOOT/boot{arch}.efi on a hard disk.
+
+- Modified ISO-9660 driver so that it can handle discs with other than
+  2048-byte sectors. This makes it useful for reading "hybrid ISO" images
+  burned to USB flash disks.
+
+- New mvrefind.sh script to move a rEFInd installation between a standard
+  location (typically EFI/refind) and one of the fallback locations
+  (EFI/BOOT or EFI/Microsoft/Boot). It can also do more exotic locations.
+
+- The install.sh script now installs to EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi or
+  EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi if it's run in BIOS mode. This is
+  intended to give some chance of producing a bootable installation should
+  a user accidentally install Linux in EFI mode and then install rEFInd
+  from that installation.
+
+- The install.sh script now tries to find an existing rEFInd installation
+  and upgrade it, even if it's in EFI/BOOT or EFI/Microsoft/Boot rather
+  than in EFI/refind.
 
+- New "--yes" option to install.sh to help with unattended or automated
+  installations (as from an RPM or Debian package).
