+Overview of changes in libqmi 1.8.0
+----------------------------------------
+
+This version comes with one small API break:
+* Enum value QMI_SERVICE_RMTFS is not 0x14, but 14. I doubt anyone has been hit
+  by this issue, anyway.
+
+Additional changes include:
+* Support for sharing the QMI port through multiple processes with the new
+  'qmi-proxy' infrastructure.
+* api: added new known service ID enumeration values
+* wds: added "Get Profile List" request/response
+* wds: added "Get Profile Settings" request/response
+* wds: added "Get Default Settings" request/response
+* cli: add --wds-get-profile-list
+* cli: add --wds-get-default-settings
+* man: added qmi-network manpage, autogenerated from --help-all
+
