+New in 5.16.2 - August 2012
+
+* Coverity cleanups
+* evade Guile issue on BSD platform.
+* avoid emitting non-error messages to stderr
+
+New in 5.16 May 2012
+
+* AutoGen now supports the "-MP" option.  The "phony" rule generated
+  in the make dependency file will remove all generated files, except
+  for the dependency file itself.  Please see the docs for "-MF".
+
+* "break", "continue", and "return" macros implemented.
+  "return" works in included templates and invoked macros (user defined
+  macros).  "break" and "continue" work within "for" and "while"
+  loops, though they cannot be used to leave invoked or included
+  templates.
+
+* texi documentation generation has been much improved.
+  Please see the "Option Sectioning Comment" documentation.
+
+* configuring with --disable-static should now pass make check
+
+* AutoOpts supports a "die-code" attribute.  It will generate code
+  for "die", "diev" and "fserr" functions that will print a farewell
+  message and die.
+
+* a keyword option value of "-1" or "~0" now means "largest value".
+
+* much improved .texi documentation templates.
+
+* de-tabbed "here strings" may have output lines prefixed with tabs
+  by backslash escaping the first tab to output.
+
+* -Werror may be appended by "=warn-group".  That is accommodated now.
+
+* many warning fixes and CamelCase name removals
