+v16.4.1
+=======
+
+-  Fixed calculation of image printed area (used in finding weighted DPI for OCR).
+   :issue:`1334`
+-  Fixed "NotImplementedError: not sure how to get colorspace" error
+   messages in logs which simply records a failure to optimize images with

+v16.4.0
+=======
+
+-  Selecting the ``osd`` and ``equ`` pseudo-languages with ``-l/--language`` now
+   exits with an error when using Tesseract OCR, because these are not
+   regular Tesseract languages but implementation details implemented.
+   Using them can cause Tesseract to crash.
+-  The hOCR renderer is more tolerant of extra whitespace in input files.
+-  watcher.py now changes the output file extension to .pdf when the input is not
+   .pdf.
+-  Improved handling of PDFs that contain circularly referenced Form XObjects.
+   :issue:`1321`
+-  Fixed Alpine Docker image for ARM64, which was not building correctly.
+-  Docker images now use pikepdf 9.0.0.
+-  Prevent use of Tesseract OCR 5.4.0, a version with known regressions.
+-  Disabled progressbar for "Linearizing" when ``--no-progress-bar`` set.
+-  Fixed some tests that warn about missing JBIG2 decoding via pikepdf, by
+   installing the necessary libraries during tests.
+
+v16.3.1
+=======
+
+-  Fixed a test suite failure with Ghostscript 10.03.0+. :issue:`1316`
+-  Fixed an issue with the presentation of the "OCR" progress bar. :issue:`1313`

+-  If `--rotate-pages-threshold` issued without `--rotate-pages` we now exit with
