+2017-01-09 v1.6.1 "Long Tailed Duck"
+  This release improves upon the VP9 encoder and speeds up the encoding and
+  decoding processes.
+
+  - Upgrading:
+    This release is ABI compatible with 1.6.0.
+
+  - Enhancements:
+    Faster VP9 encoding and decoding.
+    High bit depth builds now provide similar speed for 8 bit encode and decode
+    for x86 targets. Other platforms and higher bit depth improvements are in
+    progress.
+
+  - Bug Fixes:
+    A variety of fuzzing issues.
+
+2016-07-20 v1.6.0 "Khaki Campbell Duck"
+  This release improves upon the VP9 encoder and speeds up the encoding and
+  decoding processes.
+
+  - Upgrading:
+    This release is ABI incompatible with 1.5.0 due to a new 'color_range' enum
+    in vpx_image and some minor changes to the VP8_COMP structure.
+
+    The default key frame interval for VP9 has changed from 128 to 9999.
+
+  - Enhancement:
+    A core focus has been performance for low end Intel processors. SSSE3
+    instructions such as 'pshufb' have been avoided and instructions have been
+    reordered to better accommodate the more constrained pipelines.
+
+    As a result, devices based on Celeron processors have seen substantial
+    decoding improvements. From Indian Runner Duck to Javan Whistling Duck,
+    decoding speed improved between 10 and 30%. Between Javan Whistling Duck
+    and Khaki Campbell Duck, it improved another 10 to 15%.
+
+    While Celeron benefited most, Core-i5 also improved 5% and 10% between the
+    respective releases.
+
+    Realtime performance for WebRTC for both speed and quality has received a
+    lot of attention.
+
+  - Bug Fixes:
+    A number of fuzzing issues, found variously by Mozilla, Chromium and others,
+    have been fixed and we strongly recommend updating.
+
+2015-11-09 v1.5.0 "Javan Whistling Duck"
+  This release improves upon the VP9 encoder and speeds up the encoding and
+  decoding processes.
+
+  - Upgrading:
+    This release is ABI incompatible with 1.4.0. It drops deprecated VP8
+    controls and adds a variety of VP9 controls for testing.
+
+    The vpxenc utility now prefers VP9 by default.
+
+  - Enhancements:
+    Faster VP9 encoding and decoding
+    Smaller library size by combining functions used by VP8 and VP9
+
+  - Bug Fixes:
+    A variety of fuzzing issues
+
+2015-04-03 v1.4.0 "Indian Runner Duck"
+  This release includes significant improvements to the VP9 codec.
+
+  - Upgrading:
+    This release is ABI incompatible with 1.3.0. It drops the compatibility
+    layer, requiring VPX_IMG_FMT_* instead of IMG_FMT_*, and adds several codec
+    controls for VP9.
+
+  - Enhancements:
+    Faster VP9 encoding and decoding
+    Multithreaded VP9 decoding (tile and frame-based)
+    Multithreaded VP9 encoding - on by default
+    YUV 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 support in VP9
+    10 and 12bit support in VP9
+    64bit ARM support by replacing ARM assembly with intrinsics
+
+  - Bug Fixes:
+    Fixes a VP9 bitstream issue in Profile 1. This only affected non-YUV 4:2:0
+    files.
+
+  - Known Issues:
+    Frame Parallel decoding fails for segmented and non-420 files.

 2013-11-15 v1.3.0 "Forest"
   This release introduces the VP9 codec in a backward-compatible way.
   All existing users of VP8 can continue to use the library without
