+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
