 //
 // v0.x - 2017-xx-xx
+//   - API CHANGE: Expose and improve mutex APIs. If you were using the mutex APIs before this version you'll
+//     need to update.
+//   - API CHANGE: SRC and DSP callbacks now take a pointer to a mal_src and mal_dsp object respectively.
+//   - API CHANGE: Improvements to event and thread APIs. These changes make these APIs more consistent.
 //   - Add mal_convert_frames(). This is a high-level helper API for performing a one-time, bulk conversion of
 //     audio data to a different format.
-//   - Expose the mutex APIs.

 // v0.5 - 2017-11-11
