+Version 1.9.17, 2011-04-29
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Third release candidate for 1.10.0
+
+* The format preserving encryption method currently available was
+  presented in the header ``fpe.h`` and the functions ``fpe_encrypt``
+  and ``fpe_decrypt``. These were renamed as it is likely that other
+  FPE schemes will be included in the future. The header is now
+  ``fpe_fe1.h``, and the functions are named ``fe1_encrypt`` and
+  ``fe1_decrypt``. See :doc:`../fpe` for more information.
+
+* New options to ``configure.py`` control what tools are used for
+  documentation generation. The ``--with-sphinx`` option enables using
+  Sphinx to convert ReST into HTML; otherwise the ReST sources are
+  installed directly. If ``--with-doxygen`` is used, Doxygen will run
+  as well. Documentation generation can be triggered via the ``docs``
+  target in the makefile; it will also be installed by the install
+  target on Unix.
+
+* A bug in 1.9.16 effectively disabled support for runtime CPU feature
+  detection on x86 under GCC in that release.
+
+* A mostly internal change, all references to "ia32" and "amd64" have
+  been changed to the vendor neutral and probably easier to understand
+  "x86-32" and "x86-64". For instance, the "mp_amd64" module has been
+  renamed "mp_x86_64", and the macro indicating x86-32 has changed
+  from ``BOTAN_TARGET_ARCH_IS_IA32`` to
+  ``BOTAN_TARGET_ARCH_IS_X86_32``. The classes calling assembly have
+  also been renamed.
+
+* Similiarly to the above change, the AES implemenations using the
+  AES-NI instruction set have been renamed from AES_XXX_Intel to
+  AES_XXX_NI.
+
+* Systems that are identified as `sun4u` will default to compiling for
+  32-bit SPARCv9 code rather than 64-bit. This matches the still
+  common convention for 32-bit SPARC userspaces. If you want 64-bit
+  code on such as system, use ``--cpu=sparc64``.
+
+* Some minor fixes for compiling botan under the BeOS
+  clone/continuation `Haiku <http://haiku-os.org>`_.
+
+* Further updates to the documentation
+
