+Geany 0.17 (TBA)
+
+    Bug fixes:
+    * Fix broken selection of "Document->Set Encoding" menu items.
+    * Fix broken non-incremental search with the toolbar search entry when
+      pressing Enter (closes #2638180).
+    * Fix parsing of Make output (closes #2694479, patch by Andrea Mazzoleni).
+    * Fix crashes on quitting Geany (closes #2533990).
+    * Fix disabled Go to Tag items in the editor menu when using the
+      keyboard (#2780044).
+    * Prevent crashes when two or more top level items in the symbol
+      list have the same name (closes #2778246).
+
+    Prefs:
+    * Add an option to set an additional plugin lookup path.
+    * Add a hidden preference 'use_safe_file_saving'. This has serious side
+      effects, please read the documentation before enabling this.
+
+    Interface:
+    * Add 'Send Selection to Terminal' command to the Edit->Format menu.
+    * Change the background colour of the search entries in the Find
+      and Replace dialogs according to the search results.
+    * Add 'Close Other Documents' and 'Close All' menu items to the tab bar
+      menu.
+    * Add an option to allow appending the toolbar to the main menu bar
+      to save some vertical space.
+    * When a project is loaded, replace the project base path with the
+      project name in the Documents sidebar for parent items (closes #2723679).
+    * Make the file open dialog more compact.
+    * Ellipsize tab labels and some status messages for very long
+      filenames (closes #2777348).
+    * Add new toolbar element: Print (patch by Roland Baudin).
+    * Remember the active sidebar page between sessions.
+    * Add "Recent Projects" menu to the Project menu (#2728630,
+      patch by Elias Pschernig).
+
+    Filetypes:
+    * Fix wrong Fortran 90 comment characters when inserting templates.
+    * Add filetype ActionScript (patch by Chris Macksey).
+    * Fixes for CSS, Fortran and Ruby parsers.
+    * Add a trivial symbol parser for NSIS files.
+
+    Windows:
+    * On Windows, change the working directory to the Geany installation
+      path at startup to avoid unwanted directory locking(closes #2626124).
+    * Fix window positioning on startup.
+    * Make build commands on Windows run synchronously to avoid problems
+      with reading build commands' output.
+
+    Plugins:
+    * Splitwindow: Add keybindings for the split actions.
+
+    Plugin API:
+    * Deprecate sci_get_text(), sci_get_selected_text() and
+      sci_get_text_range().
+    * Add sci_get_contents(), sci_get_contents_range() and
+      sci_get_selection_contents() as replacement functions to provide
+      an easier and cleaner API (initial patch by Frank).
+
+    Documentation:
+    * Describe how to build Geany using the Waf build system.
