-Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.3
+Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.x (unreleased)
 ------------------------------------------------
 
+ * New cipher algorithm mode for AES-WRAP.
+
+ * Fixed minor memory leak in DSA key generation.
+
+ * No more switching to FIPS mode if /proc/version is not readable.
+
+ * Fixed sigill during Padlock detection on old CPUs.
+
+ * Fixed a hang on some W2000 machines.
+
+ * Boosted SHA-512 performance by 30% on ia32 boxes and gcc 4.3;
+   SHA-256 went up by 25%.
+
+ * Support for WindowsCE. 
+
+ * Interface changes relative to the 1.4.2 release:
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ GCRY_CIPHER_MODE_AESWRAP   NEW.
+ GCRY_PK_ECDH               NEW.
+
+
+Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.4 (2009-01-22)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+ * Publish GCRY_MODULE_ID_USER and GCRY_MODULE_ID_USER_LAST constants.
+   This functionality has been in Libgcrypt since 1.3.0. 
+
+ * MD5 may now be used in non-enforced fips mode.
+
+ * Fixed HMAC for SHA-384 and SHA-512 with keys longer than 64 bytes.
+
+ * In fips mode, RSA keys are now generated using the X9.31 algorithm
+   and DSA keys using the FIPS 186-2 algorithm.
+
+ * The transient-key flag is now also supported for DSA key
+   generation.  DSA domain parameters may be given as well.
+
+
+Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.3 (2008-09-18)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+ * Try to auto-initialize Libgcrypt to minimize the effect of
+   applications not doing that correctly.  This is not a perfect
+   solution but given that many applicationion would totally fail
+   without such a hack, we try to help at least with the most common
+   cases.  Folks, please read the manual to learn how to properly
+   initialize Libgcrypt!
+
+ * Auto-initialize the secure memory to 32k instead of aborting the
+   process.
+
+ * Log fatal errors via syslog.
+
+ * Changed the name and the semantics of the fips mode config file.
+
+ * Add convenience macro gcry_fips_mode_active.
+
  * More self-tests.
 
  * Documentation cleanups.
