+0.5.2 (2018-09-12)
+------------------
+
+Note: This release does NOT change the libsigrokdecode public C API in
+incompatible ways. This means existing frontends should not require any
+changes. However, individual PDs and their output changed, which may
+require some adaptations on the user's side in some cases.
+
+ * New supported protocol decoders:
+   - mcs48            Intel MCS-48 external memory access protocol
+   - st7735           Sitronix ST7735 TFT controller protocol
+   - atsha204a        Microchip ATSHA204A CryptoAuthentication device
+   - cfp              100 Gigabit C form-factor pluggable (CFP) protocol
+   - jtag_ejtag       MIPS EJTAG protocol
+   - swim             STM8 Single Wire Interface Module (SWIM) protocol
+   - cec              HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) protocol
+   - miller           Miller encoding protocol
+   - ook              On-off keying protocol
+   - ook_oregon       Oregon Scientific weather sensor protocol
+   - ook_vis          OOK visualisation in various formats

+   - Add an option to ignore a certain number of edges.
+   - Let the user decide how to handle the initial dead_cycles state.
+ * mdio:
+   - Accept MDIO READ without previous ADDRESS command (bug #1258).
+ * edid:
+   - Add support for extension blocks.
+   - Various annotation improvements.
+ * spi:
