 Changes
 =======
 
+1.6.2 (2017-10-26)
+------------------
+
+- Handle a ``TypeError`` that can occur when geometries are torn down (#473,
+  #528).
+- Splitting a linestring by one of its end points will now succeed instead of
+  failing with a ``ValueError`` (#524, #533).
+- Missing documentation of a geometry's ``overlaps`` predicate has been added
+  (#522).
+
+1.6.1 (2017-09-01)
+------------------
+
+- Avoid ``STRTree`` crashes due to dangling references (#505) by maintaining
+  references to added geometries.
+- Reduce log level to debug when reporting on calls to ctypes ``CDLL()`` that
+  don't succeed and are retried (#515).
+- Clarification: applications like GeoPandas that need an empty geometry object
+  should use ``BaseGeometry()`` instead of ``Point()`` or ``Polygon()``. An
+  ``EmptyGeometry`` class has been added in the master development branch and
+  will be available in the next non-bugfix release.
+
+1.6.0 (2017-08-21)
+------------------
+
+Shapely 1.6.0 adds new attributes to existing geometry classes and new
+functions (``split()`` and ``polylabel()``) to the shapely.ops module.
+Exceptions are consolidated in a shapely.errors module and logging practices
+have been improved. Shapely's optional features depending on Numpy are now
+gathered into a requirements set named "vectorized" and these may be installed
+like ``pip install shapely[vectorized]``.
+
+Much of the work on 1.6.0 was aimed to improve the project's build and
+packaging scripts and to minimize run-time dependencies. Shapely now vendorizes
+packaging to use during builds only and never again invokes the geos-config
+utility at run-time.
+
+In addition to the changes listed under the alpha and beta pre-releases below,
+the following change has been made to the project:
+
+- Project documentation is now hosted at 
+  https://shapely.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
+
+Thank you all for using, promoting, and contributing to the Shapely project.

-        (for example, `brew install geos` on OS X or
-        `apt-get install libgeos-dev` on Debian/Ubuntu) and install Shapely

+        use a different version of GEOS than the one included in the project wheels
+        you should first install the GEOS library, Cython, and Numpy on your system
+        (using apt, yum, brew, or other means) and then direct pip to ignore the binary
+        wheels.

         Changes
         =======
         
+        1.6.2 (2017-10-26)
+        ------------------
+        
+        - Handle a ``TypeError`` that can occur when geometries are torn down (#473,
+          #528).
+        - Splitting a linestring by one of its end points will now succeed instead of
+          failing with a ``ValueError`` (#524, #533).
+        - Missing documentation of a geometry's ``overlaps`` predicate has been added
+          (#522).
+        
+        1.6.1 (2017-09-01)
+        ------------------
+        
+        - Avoid ``STRTree`` crashes due to dangling references (#505) by maintaining
+          references to added geometries.
+        - Reduce log level to debug when reporting on calls to ctypes ``CDLL()`` that
+          don't succeed and are retried (#515).
+        - Clarification: applications like GeoPandas that need an empty geometry object
+          should use ``BaseGeometry()`` instead of ``Point()`` or ``Polygon()``. An
+          ``EmptyGeometry`` class has been added in the master development branch and
+          will be available in the next non-bugfix release.
+        
+        1.6.0 (2017-08-21)
+        ------------------
+        
+        Shapely 1.6.0 adds new attributes to existing geometry classes and new
+        functions (``split()`` and ``polylabel()``) to the shapely.ops module.
+        Exceptions are consolidated in a shapely.errors module and logging practices
+        have been improved. Shapely's optional features depending on Numpy are now
+        gathered into a requirements set named "vectorized" and these may be installed
+        like ``pip install shapely[vectorized]``.
+        
+        Much of the work on 1.6.0 was aimed to improve the project's build and
+        packaging scripts and to minimize run-time dependencies. Shapely now vendorizes
+        packaging to use during builds only and never again invokes the geos-config
+        utility at run-time.
+        
+        In addition to the changes listed under the alpha and beta pre-releases below,
+        the following change has been made to the project:
+        
+        - Project documentation is now hosted at 
+          https://shapely.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
+        
+        Thank you all for using, promoting, and contributing to the Shapely project.
