+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
+
