-*** IMPORTANT CHANGES ***
+- Apostrophes were not properly handled in email addresses.  This was a
+  regression introduced in 2.16.  It is not known whether this was
+  exploitable.
+  (bug 165221)
 
-*** Other changes of note ***
+See also next major section.
 
 *** Bug fixes of note ***
 
+- The VERSION cookie which allowed the previously entered version of a product
+  to be remembered was not correctly set.  It was only set as a session
+  cookie, and under some circumstances could interfere with other cookies
+  (such as the login information) send at the same time.
+  (bug 160227)
+
+- importxml.pl would fail if the versioncache needed to be updated.
+  (bug 164464)
+
+- Bug changes going through intermediate pages would munge fields with
+  multiple fields, such as CCs.
+  (bug 161203)
+
+- On failure in template->new, Bugzilla will now die rather than futilely
+  attempt to use an error template.
+  (bug 166023)
+
+- Fixed a problem where checksetup had problems converting old installations
+  that didn't have a duplicates table.
+  (bug 151619)
+
+- Fixed a problem that caused taint errors when viewing or editing user
+  preferences with Perl 5.005 and Template 2.08.
+  (bug 160710)

+
+*** SECURITY ISSUES RESOLVED ***
+
+- When a new product is added to an installation with 47 groups or more and
+  "usebuggroups" is enabled, the new group will be assigned a groupset bit
+  using Perl math that is not exact beyond 2^48.  This results in the new
+  group being defined with a "bit" that has several bits set.  As users are
+  given access to the new group, those users will also gain access to
+  spurious lower group privileges.  Also, group bits were not always reused
+  when groups were deleted.
+  (bug 167485)
+
+- The email interface had another insecure single parameter system call.  This
+  could potentially allow arbitrary shell commands to be run.  This file is
+  not supported at this time, but as long as we knew about the problem, we
+  couldn't overlook it.
+  (bug 163024)
+
+*** Bug fixes of note ***
+
+- The email interface was broken.  This was a 2.14.3 regression.  This file
+  is not supported at this time, but as long as we knew about the problem, we
+  couldn't overlook it.

+- Basic maintenance on contrib/bug_email.pl and
