+0.4.0 (2016-01-29)
+------------------
+
+Note: This release DOES change the libsigrokdecode public C API. This
+means it is NOT backwards-compatible and frontends will need updates.
+

+ * jtag_stm32:
+   - Fix incorrect handling of registers.

+   developer tool/system). This also fixes some PD test related build issues.
+ * Makefile.am: Use libtool's -no-undefined option (fixes MinGW shared build).
+ * Support loading decoders stored in ZIP files.

+ * Modernize the whole autotools setup.
+ * Build with _POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L per default.
+ * Build: Show CC and CFLAGS in configuration summary.
+ * Also look for decoders in XDG data directories.
+ * Restrict Python code to stable ABI subset (PEP 384).
+ * Fix various memory leaks.
+ * Fix an issue with PDs not being properly removed upon unload.
+ * Don't let Python override signal handlers (bug #461).
