-<a name="v1.6.3"><h2>Version 1.6.3 - released Thursday, January 19, 2012</h2>
+<a name="v1.10"><h2>Version 1.10 - released Sunday, October 26th, 2014</h2></a>
+
+<h3>Features Added</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>When you are mentioned, the "Feed Your Vanity" button will now light up to
+let you know. This is implemented internally by a "mentioned" flag on the
+account. See the API changes below.</li>
+<li>Password storage and authentication have been compacted down to two files,
+reducing size and disk seeks.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>HTTP API Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>/feedinfo is now /status, which now handles both account status (new feed
+entries and mentioned status) and subscription status for other users.</li>
+<li>/unsubscribe has been removed in favor of sending a boolean "subscribed"
+parameter to /subscribe.</li>
+<li>The logged-in username is now part of the auth cookie, removing the need to
+POST the username for authenticated requests.</li>
+<li>Authentication backend changes allow sessions to be expired. The session
+timeout defaults to one hour, and can be changed by tweaking
+AUTHENTICATION_TIMEOUT in config.h.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>C API Changes</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Password retrieval functions (<code>auth_get_*</code>) are no longer part
+of the C API.</li>
+<li><code>blerg_{get,set}_mute(*blerg)</code> has been generalized into
+<code>blerg_{get,set}_status(*blerg, flags)</code> to support new mentioned
+flag.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Features Deprecated</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Autoconf build system was removed because I don't care to maintain it. I
+might revisit it later, but right now, it's misleading to have it available
+when it doesn't work.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Bugs Squashed</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Password updates now use locks, eliminating a potential race condition that
+could corrupt the password if two updates happened simultaneously.</li>
+<li>Fixed one instance of testing mmap result against NULL instead of
+MAP_FAILED.</li>
+<li>Fixed a number of bugs with stringbucket implementation.</li>
+<li>Now building with <code>-Wall</code>, which has found a lot of small
+bugs.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<a name="v1.9.1"><h2>Version 1.9.1 - released Tuesday, June 17th, 2014</h2></a>
+
+<h3>Features Added</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>You can now use the enter key to advance through the login field and log in.</li>
+<li>RSS links added for tags, refs, and subscription feed.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Bugs Squashed</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Login form now properly defocuses after login.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<a name="v1.9"><h2>Version 1.9 - released Sunday, June 1st, 2014</h2></a>
+
+<h3>Features Added</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Added media support for images. Image links will now have a play button
+that will replace the text with the image.</li>
+<li>Added a back-end Perl module for the file-level blerg API. The idea is to
+allow ancilliary functionality (like RSS and mail notification) to be built in
+Perl rather than C. Hardcore C and shit is good for core database structure,
+but it's a royal pain for formatting/templating. The docs have also been
+updated to describe this new low-level API.</li>
+<li>New, less brain-dead RSS implementation using above Perl module. It
+supports RSS feeds for mentions, tags, and the subscription feed, but it's not
+currently worked into the UI.</li>
+<li>Database location is now configurable with environment variables.</li>
+<li>Added a way of installing Blërg to an "environment directory" that includes
+most of what you need to run Blërg (see <code>make
+install-environment</code>). Still lots to do before I can make Blërg "make
+install"-able.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Bugs Squashed</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Numerous fixes for 64-bit cleanliness, bad behaviour, and general
+stupidity.</li>
+<li>Fixed media functionality for Firefox.</li>
+<li>Tested compilation with clang; fixed numerous warnings.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<a name="v1.8.3"><h2>Version 1.8.3 - released Friday, March 21st, 2014</h2></a>
+
+<h3>Features Added</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>New full-screen editor dialog with preview and reply views.</li>
+<li>Add Markdown and GitHub Flavored Markdown-style code blocks, and GFM-style
+strikethrough.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Bugs Squashed</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Fixed link clicking in Firefox and Chrome (and probably Safari and Opera).
+My link handler would consume all clicks, preventing the user from opening
+links in new tabs with middle-click, or getting a context-menu on right-click.
+It now only activates on left-click.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<a name="v1.8.2"><h2>Version 1.8.2 - released Monday, November 18th, 2013</h2></a>
+
+<h3>Features(?) Added</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Updated frontpage style to better scale to different screen sizes,
+and maybe even look better.</li>
+<li>Upgraded to Enyo 2.2.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Bugs Squashed</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>After posting, you are now redirected to your user page. This was
+intended behavior, but broken for the past few releases.</li>
+<li>Fix clicking on internal hash/user references in Firefox.</li>
+<li>Properly handle nonexistent/empty hash/user pages.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<a name="v1.8.1"><h2>Version 1.8.1 - released Sunday, July 2, 2013</h2</a>
+
+<h3>Features Added</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Added a flag to account metadata allowing accounts to be "muted" so
+their posts do not update tags/references/subscription indices.</li>
+<li>Post indices are no longer preallocated, but instead created as
+sparse files.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Bugs Squashed</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Numerous safety and integrity checks added</li>
+<li>The internal segment counter wasn't being updated when switching
+segments, causing deadlock on the 65537th entry.</li>
+<li>Record count is now updated after successfully writing a record
+rather than before.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<a name="v1.8"><h2>Version 1.8 - released Thursday, May 30, 2013</h2></a>
+
+<h3>Features Added</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Passwords are now hashed with scrypt instead of lame old MD5. Source
+for scrypt 1.1.6 is embedded as it provides no readily usable
+library.</li>
+<li>Password formats are automatically upgraded upon login.</li>
+<li>mailto: is now supported in markdown links</li>
+<li>Added new <a href="/doc/privacy_data.html">Privacy and Data
+ Policies</a></li>
+</ul>
