+Beta Release 0.1.6 (9 May, 2010)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Notable changes:
+
+ * Improved backward compatibility. Release 0.1.5 does not work with the
+   buggy index file generated by 0.1.2.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in building linear index. The bug does not affect the
+   results, only affects efficiency in rare cases.
+
+ * Reduced the number of seek calls given an index generated by old
+   version of tabix.
+
+ * Added new APIs for retrieving data via an iterator. The old callback
+   APIs are not changed, although internally it uses iterator to
+   retrieve data.
+
+I am trying to freeze tabix. I just hope I am committing new bugs.
