-Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.5 since the previous release 1.4:
+Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.5 (25 May 2017) since the previous release 1.4:
 
 Front-end changes:
 
  - Change mp3 file loading so as to compensate for encoder/decoder
    delay and padding (using "gapless playback" logic). While this is a

    mp3 as a file format of record, because of differences like this
    between decoders
 
  - Add --transform-minversion flag to test for available version of
    a plugin transform
- 
+
  - Add quiet mode (-q)
 
 Bug fixes:
 
  - Fix possible crash in multiplexed file handling (--multiplex, -m)
 
  - Fix nominal rounding error (out by 1ns) in output under some
    conditions
 
 
-Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.4 since the previous release 1.3:
+Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.4 (18 Mar 2016) since the previous release 1.3:
 
 Front-end changes:
 
  - Better error reporting, especially for invalid transform files
    and transform-not-found

 
  - Fix multiple outputs when requesting both summary and non-summary
    for the same output
 
 
-Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.3 since the previous release 1.2:
+Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.3 (05 Nov 2015) since the previous release 1.2:
 
 Back-end (feature writer) changes:
 
  - Add the --csv-digits, --lab-digits, and --jams-digits options to
    control the number of significant figures printed for feature values

  - Show a more useful error message when user provides a filename
    instead of a transform id to the -d option (happened to me when
    cut-and-pasting command lines and I was quite baffled at first)
 
 
-Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.2 since the previous release 1.1:
+Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.2 (01 Sep 2015) since the previous release 1.1:
 
 Front-end changes:
 
  - Add the --segments-from option, providing the ability to read
    segment boundaries from a file

    formats supported in future
 
 Bug fixes:
 
  - Fix invalid JSON written by JAMS feature writer for dense
-   features.
+   features
+
  - Fix invalid UTF-8 output from RDF feature writer when processing
    MP3 files having ID3 tags in non-ASCII, non-UTF8 encodings
 
 
-Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.1 since the previous release 1.0:
+Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.1 (16 Oct 2014) since the previous release 1.0:
 
 Front-end changes:
 
  - Add support for the start time and duration properties of a
    transform, applying a plugin to only a range of the input audio
+
  - Reduce the internal processing blocksize from 16384 to 1024 samples
    to reduce extent of time rounding at end of file or range
+
  - Add --multiplex option to compose multiple audio files into a
    single multi-channel stream with one input file per channel
+
  - Add --normalise to request each audio file be normalised to 1.0 max
+
  - Add support for the plugin_version property of a transform, causing
    Sonic Annotator to refuse to run with the wrong version of a plugin
+
  - Add --minversion option to permit scripts to check that the
    version of Sonic Annotator is as they expect
+
  - Add new housekeeping options to list the available feature writers
    and supported audio file formats
+
  - Pull out the feature-writer-specific help text into separate help
    options (-h <writertype>) as the help was getting too long
 
 Back-end (feature writer) changes:
 
  - Add --csv-omit-filename, --csv-end-times, and --csv-fill-ends
    options to the CSV feature writer to adjust various aspects of its
    output
+
  - Add "json" feature writer, exporting to JAMS (JSON Annotated Music
    Specification) format. This writer is provisional and is expected
    to change in future releases to comply more effectively with the
    specification
+
  - Add "midi" feature writer, exporting to MIDI files
+
  - Add "lab" feature writer, exporting to tab-separated label files.
    (This is equivalent to using the CSV writer with a tab separator and
    the new --csv-omit-filename and --csv-end-times options, but it's
    simpler to use if .lab is what you want)
 
 Bug fixes:
 
  - Fix the former habit of forging ahead even if not all transform
    files could be found or parsed (this may have been intentional
    behaviour but it is confusing more than it is useful)
+
  - Fix failure to support --summary-only flag when reading transforms
    with summaries from a transform file
 
 
-Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.0 since the previous release 0.7:
+Changes in Sonic Annotator 1.0 (09 May 2013) since the previous release 0.7:
 
 Bug fixes:
 
  - Fix incorrect samplerate in reading m4a files on OS/X
+
  - Fix incorrect handling of FixedSampleRate outputs (Vamp SDK fix)
+
  - Add tests that use the Vamp test plugin
 
 
-Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.7 since the previous release 0.6:
+Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.7 (17 Jul 2012) since the previous release 0.6:
 
 Build changes:
 
  - Support 64-bit builds on OS/X (using CoreAudio instead of
    obsolete QuickTime audio file reader)

  - Simplify RDF reading and fix some bugs. Now requires Dataquay
    (http://breakfastquay.com/dataquay/) rather than using Redland
    directly. Release builds use Sord/Serd rather than Redland
 
 
-Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.6 since the previous release 0.5:
+Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.6 (28 Sep 2011) since the previous release 0.5:
 
 Build changes:
 
  - Switch to modular SV-libraries build using svcore library
+
  - We now require Vamp plugin SDK v2.3
+
  - Add autoconf configure script
 
 Front-end changes:
 
  - Pick up default sample rate and channel count from the first
  audio file, where not specified in the transform, instead of using
  hard coded defaults
+
  - Make it possible to specify the window shape in transform
+
  - Fix the --csv-one-file option which did not work in 0.5
+
  - Fix --force option when using playlists
+
  - Add -v option to print version number and exit
 
 
-Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.5 since the previous release 0.4:
+Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.5 (26 May 2010) since the previous release 0.4:
 
 Build changes:
 
  - Remove unused audioio library and avoid its dependencies
 
 Front-end changes:
 
  - Avoid leaking file descriptors on exceptions
+
  - Fix embarrassing bug that caused failure to mix down to mono
  properly for single-channel plugins with multi-channel input files
+
  - Fail sooner if the output file is not writable (i.e. don't wait
  until the first data is available for writing)
 
 
-Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.4 since the previous release 0.3:
+Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.4 (25 Sep 2009) since the previous release 0.3:
 
 Build changes:
 
  - Sonic Annotator now requires the Vamp plugin SDK v2.1 or newer.
 

  - The CSV writer now closes its output files properly when it
  finishes writing to each one, rather than leaving them all open
  until the end and risk running out of file descriptors.  This was
  already the behaviour of the RDF writer, the CSV one has just been
  updated to match it.
+
  - The behaviour of the CSV writer has also been changed to match
  that of the RDF writer in handling file write failures (it now
  continues processing only if --force is given).
 
 
-Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.3 since the previous release 0.2:
+Changes in Sonic Annotator 0.3 (07 Jul 2007) since the previous release 0.2:
 
 Front-end changes:
 
  - A new --force front-end option (distinct from the --csv-force and
  --rdf-force back-end options) has been added, which makes Sonic
