+
+### Script Compiler
+
+With 1.6.0, the official nwscript compiler source code has been added to the repository, licenced as GPL-3.0. This release builds on this:
+
+- Parser now understands floating point values such as `0f`, `.0` and `.42f`.
+- For loops can now take non-integer expressions in the first and third part of a loop statement. (e.g. floating point values now work).
+- Constant folding: `const` declarations can now contain any constant expression (such as arithmetics), including previously defined consts.
+- Instruction melding: A second pass over the generated bytecode will now meld some redundant instructions together.
+- Where possible, expressions are now evaluated at compile time (instead of runtime).
+- The CLI utility can now utilise all CPU cores to compile scripts in parallel.
+- The script compiler will ensure no outdated .ndb remains when re/compiling scripts without debugging support enabled.
+- Fixed structures passed using the `?:` operator causing a bad compiler state.
+- The script compiler has gained support for enabling optimisations. Currently available:
+  - `-O0` Turn off all optimisations
+  - `-O2`: Turn on all optimisations:
+    - Constant folding
+    - Instruction melding
+    - Removing all dead/unused code
+
+### Bytecode Disassembler
+
+- `nwn_asm` can now decode DE_STRUCT instructions.
+- `nwn_asm` can now disable loading .ndb with a cli flag, if no per-function disassembly is desired.
+- `nwn_asm` now prints global offsets in addition to per-function offsets when .ndb is enabled.
+- `nwn_asm` can now optionally weave the originating source code into the disassembly, if both source code and .ndb is available.
+
+### Other utilities
+
+- Fixed regression introduced with 1.6.0 that resulted in GFF files failing to compile with a integer out of range error.
+- All cli utilities now support the flag `--silent` to hide all output, even errors. Errors can be detected by checking the process exit code.
+- Performance improvements on internal data structures to make utilities start up faster.
+- Added some legacy (currently unused) restypes: .res, .wfx
