+Nageru and Futatabi 1.8.4, March 11th, 2019
+
+  - Various bugfixes, in particular for 32-bit platforms.
+
+
+Nageru and Futatabi 1.8.3, March 10th, 2019
+
+  - Allow controlling video mixing from MIDI events. Adapted from a patch
+    by Yann Dubreuil, from the BreizhCamp repository.
+
+  - Use ALSA hardware timestamps for input; gives more stable delay.
+    Patch by Yann Dubreuil, from the BreizhCamp repository.
+
+  - For FFmpeg inputs, add an option for playing as fast as possible
+    (set rate >= 10.0).
+
+  - In Futatabi, support queueing and playing clips with noe cue-out point.
+    This opens up for new and even faster UI workflows.
+
+  - Many bugfixes.
+
+
+Nageru and Futatabi 1.8.2, January 19th, 2019
+
+  - Futatabi now supports MIDI controllers like Nageru, including an editor
+    and a sample mapping for the Behringer CMD PL-1.
+
+  - Futatabi now supports changing master speed during play, both via a
+    MIDI controller and the GUI.
+
+  - Various bugfixes.
+
+
+Nageru and Futatabi 1.8.1, December 30th, 2018
+
+  - Futatabi can now communicate its queue status through a subtitle track,
+    and Nageru can consume it. This allows Nageru themes to get precise
+    information programmatically, e.g. to show status or automatically
+    switch away when the queue is about to end.
+
+  - Futatabi can now reuse the computed flow across successive frames when
+    interpolating between the same frame pair. This significantly reduces
+    the GPU load when doing super-slow motion (slower than 0.5x).
+
+  - Various smaller fixes.
+
+
+Nageru and Futatabi 1.8.0, December 20th, 2018
+
+  - Initial release of Futatabi, a multicamera slow motion video server
+    designed to be used with Nageru. Futatabi is currently in alpha stage
+    and largely undocumented.
+
+  - Add support for multi-camera export from Nageru. A multi-camera stream
+    contains all frames from all camera inputs (unless overridden by
+    --mjpeg-export-cards), unprocessed except for MJPEG encoding.
+    MJPEG encoding is done in hardware (via VA-API) on Skylake or newer,
+    or using libjpeg otherwise. The intended user of this stream is Futatabi.
+
+
+Nageru 1.7.5, November 11th, 2018
+
+  - Fix a bug where --record-x264-video would not work when VA-API was
+    not present, making the option rather useless (broken in 1.7.2).
+    Bug reported by Peter De Schrijver.
+
+  - The build system has been switched to Meson; see the README for new
+    build instructions.
+
+  - Various smaller fixes.
+
+
+Nageru 1.7.4, August 31st, 2018
+
+  - Rework the x264 speedcontrol presets, again. (They earlier assumed
+    we could control B-frame settings on the fly, which we cannot with
+    threaded lookahead.) Also support x264 >= 153, which can support
+    multiple bit depths in the same library.
+
+  - Default to SDI inputs instead of HDMI.
+
+  - Add a mode to run in full screen (--fullscreen). Adapted from a patch
+    by Yoann Dubreuil.
+
+  - Add support for lift/gamma/gain in the theme. Patch by Alexandre Thomazo.
+
+
+Nageru 1.7.3, May 22nd, 2018
+
+  - When using multichannel audio, add a control for adjusting the
+    stereo width (from normal stereo to mono, all the way to
+    inverted stereo).
+
+  - Removed --http-coarse-timebase (it is now always on).
+
+  - Various bugfixes.
+

 Nageru 1.7.2, April 28th, 2018
 
   - Several improvements to video (FFmpeg) inputs: You can now use
