+Code
+----
+
+Several changes fixed type consistency of parameters and documentation/comment
+clarifications. The following sections summarize substantial changes by
+component.
+
+### GRC
+
+Fix GRC support for scrolling with keyboard PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN buttons.
+
+Pasting blocks will now
+ * remove position offset when pasting blocks into an empty flow graph
+ * ignore unknown block keys when pasting blocks
+
+XML comments are now ignored rather than parsed as part of the block wrapper.
+
+(nw) not sure what this is: rewrite block before adding connections during 
flowgraph import
+(nw) not sure what this is: E.g.: Not all connections to a block with nports 
controlled via a parameter block could be restored from file.
+(nw) not sure what this is:
+(nw) not sure what this is:  stop overwritting modified param values in epy 
blocks
+
+Flowgraphs now run even if a bypassed block has errors.
+
+### QT GUIs
+
+Fixed sample range that fetches tags that would previously duplicate tags that
+show up on the last sample in a buffer.
+
+### gr-digital
+
+Fix the internal mask for access codes in correlate_access_code_bb_ts and
+correlate_access_code_ff_ts. Previously the top (most significant) bits were
+set for the internal mask. This matches a fix fo the
+correlate_access_code_tag_bb block from v3.7.5.2. Look for similar fixes and
+consistency changes to the correlate_access_code blocks in the future.
+
+### gr-fec
+
+FEC documentation continues to improve with every release. Fixes to improve
+support for LDPC blocks in GRC. The example flowgraph ber_curve_gen_ldpc should
+run properly now.
+
+### gr-filter
+
+Reformatted documentation.
+
+### gr-fft
+
+Always use volk_malloc rather than fftwf_malloc because some binary builds may
+not include AVX which will cause alignment faults when fftwf_malloc created
+buffers are used in AVX+ proto-kernels.
+
+### gr-blocks
+
+Remove duplicated tags in the tagged_stream_align block.
+
+Fix the type of nitems in set_length (was int, now uint64_t).
+
+### gr-uhd
+
+Loosen requirements for multi-channel operations to have timed command 
capability.
+
+A few usability fixes to uhd_rx_cfile related to messages in verbose mode and
+default options.
+
+XML files call the correct functions for correcting DC offset and IQ imbalance.
+
+### Utilities
+
+gr-perf-monitorx has several small fixes. First, a stability issue that
+manifested with the ATSC receive flowgraphs was fixed by adding a small offset
+to prevent calculating log(0). Additionally the import of networkx has been
+updated to match newer matplotlib and networkx modules while maintaining
+compatibility with older versions.
+
+### modtool
+
+Fix gr_modtool rename command for GRC XML files to include the module name.
+
+Fix template expansion code for out of tree modules by adding build_utils.py to
+PYTHONPATH. New modules will also have a CMAKE_MODULES_PATH with the module
+`cmake/Modules` directory first over the installed GNU Radio modules.
+
+### Builds
+
+A misnamed variable, INCLUDE_DIRS (set by pkg-config) vs INCLUDE_DIR (never
+set), has been fixed in FindThrift.cmake. The headers should now be found for
+the case of thrift being installed in a prefix that is different than the
+target prefix.
+
+Cross compiling with thrift will now use the SDK sysroot's native thrift binary
+rather than the system thrift binary.
+
+Minor cmake/swig fix to generate non-make build files.
