+0.4.8 (??/??/2012):
+-------------------
+
+- Added the directory from which rEFInd launched to dont_scan_dirs. This
+  works around a bug in which rEFInd would show itself as a bogus Windows
+  entry if it's installed as EFI/Microsoft/boot/bootmgfw.efi.
+
+- Added support for launching MokManager.efi for managing the Machine Owner
+  Keys (MOKs) maintained by the Shim boot loader developed by Fedora and
+  SUSE.
+
+- Added support for Apple's Recovery HD partition: If it's detected, a new
+  icon appears on the second row. This icon can be removed by explicitly
+  setting the "showtools" option in refind.conf and excluding the
+  "apple_recovery" option from that line.
+
+- Fixed bug that caused text-mode ("textonly" refind.conf option enabled)
+  menu entries to be right-aligned rather than left-aligned when rEFInd was
+  compiled with the TianoCore EDK2.
+
+- Added "--usedefault {devicename}" and "--drivers" options to the
+  install.sh script and changed the "esp" option to "--esp". 
+
+0.4.7 (11/6/2012):
+------------------
+
+- Added an icon for gummiboot.
+
+- Added a boot option editor: Pressing the Insert or F2 key from a boot
+  tag's options menu opens a simple text-mode line editor on which the boot
+  options may be edited for a one-time boot with altered options.
+
+- Modified the "scan_delay" feature to delay and then perform a re-scan,
+  which may work better than the first attempt at this feature (which I'm
+  told isn't working as planned).
+
+- Modified rEFInd to add a space after the command-line options only when
+  launching Mac OS X. On some early Macs, the extra space (which had been
+  present by default, as a carryover from rEFIt) causes problems when
+  booting Linux kernels from FAT partitions.
+
+0.4.6 (10/6/2012):
+------------------
+
+- Fixed some minor memory management issues.
+
+- Added new "scan_delay" feature to impose a delay before scanning
+  for disks.
+
+- Changed default "scanfor" option from internal-external-optical to either
+  internal-external-optical-manual (for non-Macs) or
+  internal-hdbios-external-biosexternal-optical-cd-manual (for Macs). I've
+  done this for two reasons:
+  - Many Mac users have been confused by the fact that rEFInd needs
+    reconfiguration to detect Windows (or Linux installed in BIOS mode),
+    since rEFIt scans BIOS devices by default. Adding the BIOS options as
+    default for them should help them.
+  - Adding the "manual" option enables users to simply add manual boot
+    stanzas and have them work, which is more intuitive. Adding the
+    "manual" option will have no effect unless manual stanzas are created
+    or uncommented, so this part of the change won't affect users' working
+    default configurations.
+
+- Added new legacy (BIOS) boot support for UEFI-based PCs.
+
+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):
