Ok, we have as of today two changes:

  kraxel@sirius ~/projects/seabios (master)# git log --oneline rel-1.16.1..
  ea1b7a073390 xen: require Xen info structure at 0x1000 to detect Xen
  645a64b4911d usb: fix wrong init of keyboard/mouse's if first interface is 
not boot protocol

With no changes since January and no known issues.
I think we can safely tag the current state as 1.16.2.

I'll do that next monday (plus qemu pull request) unless
there are objections until then.

take care,
  Gerd
