-Code
-----
-
-Several changes fixed type consistency of parameters and documentation/comment
-clarifications. The following sections summarize substantial changes by
-component.
-
-### GRC
-
-Fix GRC support for scrolling with keyboard PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN buttons.
-
-Pasting blocks will now
- * remove position offset when pasting blocks into an empty flow graph
- * ignore unknown block keys when pasting blocks
-
-XML comments are now ignored rather than parsed as part of the block wrapper.
-
-Rewrite block before adding connections during flowgraph import E.g.: Not all
-connections to a block with nports controlled via a parameter block could be
-restored from file.
-
-Stop overwritting modified param values in epy blocks
-
-Flowgraphs now run even if a bypassed block has errors.
-
-### QT GUIs
-
-Fixed sample range that fetches tags that would previously duplicate tags that
-show up on the last sample in a buffer.
-
-### gr-digital
-
-Fix the internal mask for access codes in correlate_access_code_bb_ts and
-correlate_access_code_ff_ts. Previously the top (most significant) bits were
-set for the internal mask. This matches a fix fo the
-correlate_access_code_tag_bb block from v3.7.5.2. Look for similar fixes and
-consistency changes to the correlate_access_code blocks in the future.
-
-Added test descriptions for the burst shaper QA and removed unnecessary
-padding.
-
-### gr-fec
-
-FEC documentation continues to improve with every release. Fixes to improve
-support for LDPC blocks in GRC. The example flowgraph ber_curve_gen_ldpc should
-run properly now.
-
-### gr-filter
-
-Reformatted documentation.
-
-### gr-fft
+ * Tracie Renea <address@hidden>
 
-Always use volk_malloc rather than fftwf_malloc because some binary builds may
-not include AVX which will cause alignment faults when fftwf_malloc created
-buffers are used in AVX+ proto-kernels.
 
-### gr-blocks
+Bug fixes
+---------------
 
-Remove duplicated tags in the tagged_stream_align block.
+* cmake: Quiet excessive warnings from cmake regarding deprecated
+  usage. (Stefan Wunsch)
 
-Fix the type of nitems in set_length (was int, now uint64_t).
+* gnuradio-runtime: Fixed race condition during flowgraph
+  locking/unlocking (Jiří Pinkava)
 
-### gr-uhd
+* gnuradio-runtime: Fixed incorrect pmt serialization for double
+  (Johannes Schmitz)
 
-Loosen requirements for multi-channel operations to have timed command 
capability.
+* gnuradio-runtime: Fixed invalid string reference usage (Daehyun
+  Yang)
 
-A few usability fixes to uhd_rx_cfile related to messages in verbose mode and
-default options.
+* gr-audio: Removed inline comments in conf file to workaround parsing
+  bug (Marcus Mueller)
 
-XML files call the correct functions for correcting DC offset and IQ imbalance.
+* gr-blocks: Fixed stream corruption at termination with UDP
+  source/sink blocks. (Andy Sloane)
 
-### Utilities
+* gr-blocks: Fixed tag propagation for stream mux block (Andrej Rode)
 
-gr-perf-monitorx has several small fixes. First, a stability issue that
-manifested with the ATSC receive flowgraphs was fixed by adding a small offset
-to prevent calculating log(0). Additionally the import of networkx has been
-updated to match newer matplotlib and networkx modules while maintaining
-compatibility with older versions.
+* gr-digital: Fixed incorrect symbol reporting for unusual carrier
+  allocations in OFDM blocks (Martin Braun)
 
-### modtool
+* gr-digital: Fixed missing documentation in OFDM blocks (Martin
+  Braun)
 
-Fix gr_modtool rename command for GRC XML files to include the module name.
+* gr-dtv: Fixed broken assertions in DVB-T blocks (Clayton Smith)
 
-Fix template expansion code for out of tree modules by adding build_utils.py to
-PYTHONPATH. New modules will also have a CMAKE_MODULES_PATH with the module
-`cmake/Modules` directory first over the installed GNU Radio modules.
+* gr-fec: Cleaned up and fixed LDPC encoder/decoder pair for memory
+  handling, documentation, and Python function errors. (Tracie Renea)
 
-The gr_modtool alias and description for renaming blocks match the
-functionality. The new alias is `mv`.
+* gr-filter: Improved documentation iir_filter blocks. (Laur Joost)
 
-### Builds
+* gr-filter: Fixed broken imports of optfir module in examples (Jiří
+  Pinkava)
 
-A misnamed variable, INCLUDE_DIRS (set by pkg-config) vs INCLUDE_DIR (never
-set), has been fixed in FindThrift.cmake. The headers should now be found for
-the case of thrift being installed in a prefix that is different than the
-target prefix.
+* gr-uhd: Fixed timing of set_sample_rate call during initialization
+  (Marcus Mueller)
 
-Cross compiling with thrift will now use the SDK sysroot's native thrift binary
-rather than the system thrift binary.
+* gr-zmq: Accomodate gcc 6.x changes to casting requirements (Philip
+  Balister)
 
-Minor cmake/swig fix to generate non-make build files.
+Numerous MSVC/mingw incompatibilities that have crept in the last few
+releases have been corrected in this release. Special thanks go to
+Geof Gnieboer and Paul Cercueil (Analog Devices, Inc.) for their
+testing and patches.
