+kmod 17
+=======
+
+- Bug fixes:
+	- Fix matching a "." in kernel cmdline, making garbage in the command
+	  line be parsed as kmod options
+	- Fix man pages to clarify we don't fallback to parsing modules.dep
+	  but instead we depend on modules.dep.bin (generated by depmod) to
+	  be present
+	- Fix ELF parsing on 32 bit systems assigning the wrong class.
+	- Fix partial matches of search directives in depmod. Previously having
+	  a line in depmod.conf such as "search foo foobar built-in" would cause
+	  unpretictable results because foo is a partial match of foobar as well.
+	- Fix unaligned access in modinfo when getting the signature from a
+	  module
+	- Make sure softdeps are treated as optional dependencies
+
+- New features:
+	- Accept special files given to "-C" switch in modprobe. This way it's
+	  possible to skip system configuration with "modprobe -C /dev/null"
+	- Do not require xsltproc on released tarballs
+	- Don't use Werror anymore
+	- Add experimental python bindings, merged from python-kmod repository
+	  (https://github.com/agrover/python-kmod)
+	- Parse softdeps exported by the kernel as
+	  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.softdep
+
+- Improvements to testsuite:
+	- Check the list of loaded modules after a test
+
