 # Boost.SIMD Changelog
 
+## Version 4.16.12.0 - 12/19/2016
+
+This release is another polish & API fixes release to prepare the upcoming Boost review process.
+The main point is the removal of the old and unstable Altivec support as it was considered to be
+more noisy than valuable for the review.
+
+In this release, we want to thank Alain Miniussi and @Fytch for their contributions.
+
+### Breaking Changes
+ - [API] Old Altivec support is deprecated
+ - [API] frexp now returns a pair of floating point values to simplify interaction with ldexp
+ - [API] The fast_ decorator is deprecated. The policy of using raw_,fast_ or conformant_ was blurry
+   and led to bad user experience. The new rule is that now, the undecorated function is able to
+   deliver good performance with reasonable precision/corner-case handling. raw_ may provide better
+   performance but at the cost of reduced precision or lacking support for corner cases (like NaN,
+   denormals or infinites). The pedantic_ decorator now replaces the conformant_ tag and express the
+   fact that the decorated function will provides less performances for an exact support of all the
+   functions input values.
+
+### New features
+ - ifrexp function is introduced to keep the old API of frexp that was returning a pair of
+   integer/floating point values. The functions frexp/ifrexp covers all the use cases of the previous
+   frexp API but simplify its interaction with ldexp.
+ - ldexp can now process exponent passed as floating point values instead of integer.
+ - A scalar optimized version of inearbyint is now available on SSE2 enabled CPUs.
+ - toint now supports the pedantic_ flag to handle some corner-cases in double precision.
+
+### Changes
+ - Boost.SIMD can now compile using -pedantic
+ - Documentation is now properly provided as a local HTML file bundle in doc/html
+ - Trying to compile benchmarks or unit tests without using -DDEV as CMake options warns about it
+   and fix its own behavior.
+ - ICC supports has been improved
+ - ICC usage of cpuid has been fixed to work with the ICC/MSVC combo
+
