+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
+    them as audio sources, you can right-click on video channels
+    to change URL/filename on-the-fly, themes can ask for forced
+    disconnection (useful for network sources that are hanging),
+    and various other improvements. Be aware that the audio support
+    may still be somewhat rough, as A/V sync of arbitrary video
+    playout is a hard problem.
+
+  - The included themes have been fixed to properly make the returned
+    chain preparation functions independent of global state (e.g. if
+    the white balance for a channel was changed before the frame was
+    actually rendered). If you are using a custom theme, you may want
+    to apply similar fixes to it.
+
+  - In Metacube stream output, mark each keyframe with a pts metadata
+    block. This allows Cubemap 1.4.0 or newer to serve fMP4 fragments
+    for HLS from Nageru's output, without any further remuxing or
+    transcoding.
+
+  - If needed, Nageru will now automatically try to autodetect a
+    usable --va-display parameter by probing all DRM nodes for H.264
+    encoders. This removes the need to set --va-display in almost all
+    cases, and also removes the dependency on libpci.
+
+  - For GPUs that support querying available memory (in practice only
+    NVIDIA GPUs at the current time), expose the amount of used/total
+    GPU memory both on standard output and in the Prometheus metrics
+    (as well as included Grafana dashboard).
+
+  - The Grafana dashboard now supports heatmaps for the chosen x264
+    speedcontrol preset (requires Grafana 5.1 or newer). (There used to
+    be a heatmap earlier, but it was all broken.)
+
+  - Various bugfixes.
+
+
+Nageru 1.7.1, March 26th, 2018
+
+  - Various bugfixes, mostly related to HTML and video inputs.
+
+
+Nageru 1.7.0, March 8th, 2018
+
+  - Support for HTML5 graphics directly in Nageru, through CEF
+    (Chromium Embedded Framework). This performs better and is more
+    flexible than integrating with CasparCG over a socket. Note that
+    CEF is an optional component; see the documentation for more
+    information.
+
+  - Add an HTTP endpoint for enumerating channels and one for getting
+    only their colors. Intended for remote tally applications;
+    set the documentation.
+
+  - Add a video grid display that removes the audio controls and shows
+    the video channels only, potentially in multiple rows if that makes
+    for a larger viewing area.
+
+  - Themes can now present simple menus in the Nageru UI. See the
+    documentation for more information.
+
+  - Various bugfixes.
+
+
+Nageru 1.6.4, January 25th, 2018
+
+  - Fix compilation with the upcoming FFmpeg 3.5.
+
+  - Switch to LuaJIT for the theme engine, which is faster.
+
+  - Various bugfixes and smaller optimizations.
+
+
+Nageru 1.6.3, November 8th, 2017
+
+  - Add quick-cut keys (Q, W, E, etc.) below the preview keys.
+    Since it's easy to hit these by accident and put up a signal
+    you didn't want, they are disabled by default (they can be
+    enabled in the video menu, or with the command line flag
+    --quick-cut-keys).
+
+  - Rework the x264 speedcontrol presets to better match newer
+    x264 versions.
+
+  - Add an option for changing the HTTP port (--http-port).
+
+  - Various smaller bug and integration fixes.
+
+
+Nageru 1.6.2, July 16th, 2017
+
+  - Various smaller Kaeru fixes, mostly around metrics. Also,
+    you can now adjust the x264 bitrate in Kaeru (in 100 kbit/sec
+    increments) by sending SIGUSR1 (higher) or SIGUSR2 (lower).
+
+
 Nageru 1.6.1, July 9th, 2017
 
   - Add native export of Prometheus metrics.
