 *** Deprecated Features ***
 
-- This is the last stable release of bugzilla which will support mysql version
-  3.22. Future releases will require at least version 3.23.x. The exact minimum
-  version number required has not yet been decided (bug 87958)
-- The use of bugzilla to maintain the shadowdb will be removed before the
-  next stable release. The replacement (using mysql's built in replication) is
-  not supported in 2.16, but we expect that very few sites use this feature.
-  If this would cause a problem for you, please comment in bug 124589

+*** SECURITY ISSUES RESOLVED ***
+
+- The bug reporter could set the priority even when
+  'letsubmitterchoosepriority' was off.
+  (bug 63018)
+- It was possible for random confidential information to be
+  divulged, if the shadow database was in use and became
+  corrupted.
+  (bug 92263)
+- Mass change would set the groupset of every bug to be the
+  groupset of the first bug.
+  (bug 107718)
+- Most CGIs now run in taint mode.  This helps to prevent
+  failure to validate errors.
+  (bug 108982)
+- queryhelp.cgi no longer shows confidential products to
+  people it shouldn't.
+  (bug 126801)
+- The bug list sort order could take arbitrary SQL.  There
+  are no known exploits for this problem.
+  (bug 130821)
+- It was possible for a user to bypass the IP check by
+  setting up a fake reverse DNS, if the Bugzilla web server
+  was configured to do reverse DNS lookups.  Apache is not
+  configured as such by default.  This is not a complete
+  exploit, as the user's login cookie would also need to
+  be divulged for this to be a problem.

 *** IMPORTANT CHANGES ***
 
-???
+- 2.16 introduces "templatisation", a new feature that allows
+  administrators to easily customise the HTML output of Bugzilla
+  without altering Perl code.  Bugzilla uses the "Template Toolkit"
+  for this.  ??? See the Bugzilla Guide?
+
+  Administrators who ran the 2.15 development version and customised
+  templates should check the templates are still valid, as file names
+  and file paths have changed.
+
+  Most output is now templatised.  This process will be complete next
+  milestone.
+  (bug 86168)
+- index.html is now configurable, as is now index.cgi. ??? Web server setup ???
+  (bug 80183)
+- Administrators can now configure maximum attachment sizes.  These
+  should remain below the maximum size for MySQL
+  (bug 91664)
+- Perl 5.004 is no longer supported because the Template Toolkit
+  requires 5.005.
+  (bug 97721)
+- It is now strongly recommended that administrators run
+  "processmail rescanall" after upgrading to 2.16 or beyond.
+
+  This will send out notification emails for changes that were
+  made but not emailed, due to Bugzilla bugs.  All known
+  causes of this have been fixed (bug 104589 and 99519).
+
+  It is also recommended that this be run nightly to avoid
+  lengthy delays in future if this reoccurs.
+  (bug 106377)

-  It still will not show up in these people's buglists and
-  they will not receive email about changes to the bugs.
