+Code
+----
+
+This release includes a number of minor typos and miscellaneous
+rewording of\
+error messages. The following sections summarize substantial changes.
+
+### GRC
+
+-   the ‘Parser errors’ menu item wasn’t correctly enabled
+-   embedded python blocks: message ports are now optionial and show the
+    correct label
+-   custom run command now accounts for filepaths that need escaping
+-   virtual sink/source message connections were dropped when opening a
+    flow graph
+-   tooltips in block library are truncated if too long
+-   not all tooltips in block library were updated after docstring
+    extraction finished
+-   some expressions were wrongfully marked invalid after opening a flow
+    graph
+-   move random uniform source from analog to waveform generators in GRC
+
+### Scheduler and Runtime fixes
+
+A new unit test is available to test a bug reported on stack overflow
+where blocks (such as the delay block) would drop tags. Paul David stepped in
+with his first contribution to GNU Radio with a fix.
+
+Fix an issue with flat\_flowgraph calculating alignment by
+misinterpreting units of write and read indeces. This was only apparent when 
these
+indeces are non-zero (a flowgraph has stopped and restarted).
+
+Fix exceptions thrown in hier\_block2 constructors.
+
+Check d\_ninput\_items\_required for overflow and shut down if
+overflow is detected.
+
+Allow hier\_block2’s to change I/O signature in the constructor, which
+was previously allowed by the API, but broken.
+
+### gr-blocks
+
+Use unsigned char rather than char in add\_const\_bb. This was the
+legacy behavior with the older add\_const\_XX and was accidentally
+replaced with char when replacing the templated version.
+
+Fix vector length units from bytes to number of items in PDU to tagged
+stream and tagged stream to PDU blocks.
+
+### gr-filter
+
+Add a check to the rational resampler to stop working after we’ve
+operated on all input items (closed issue \#831)
+
+Throw an error when pfb clock sync is given constant taps which results
+in a derivative of 0 (calculated as NaN). (closed issue \#812 and 734). Added
+a reset\_taps function to externally set taps which should be used in
+place of set\_taps.
+
+Fix a memory leak in pfb decimator (closed issue \#882)
+
+### gr-analog
+
+Maximum Deviation parameter for NBFM transmitter exposed to GRC
+
+### gr-digital
+
+Change the constellation receiver to inherit from control\_loop
+publically
+rather than the impl to better support the control port interface.
+(closed issue \#876)
+
+### gr-fec
+
+TLC to puncture/depuncture GRC files in gr-fec
+
+### gr-zeromq
+
+Major performance and correctness fixes to gr-zeromq
+
+### Builds
+
+Fix cross compiling on for 64-bit architectures by not setting DEBIAN,
+REDHAT, and SLACKWARE. OOT modules created with modtool should update their
+cmake/Modules/GrPlatform.cmake to support cross 64-bit builds.
