This is desirable because the Linux Foundation's HashTool + can only scan its own volume, making it desirable to place copies of this + program on every volume that holds EFI boot loader binaries. + +- Added support for launching the Linux Foundation HashTool as a means of + managing MOKs (or MOK hashes, at any rate). + +- 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_dirs 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!
