+0.16.9 -- 2024-mm-dd
+--------------------
+* Fixed ``Seat.touch_point_clear_focus``: The method took too many arguments
+  which were not aligned to the wlroots counterpart and lead to a runtime error.
+* This is probably the last 0.16 release unless there are important bugs to fix.
+  Since Linux distributions are phasing out support for wlroots 0.16, projects
+  should move to pywlroots 0.17 once this version is released
+
+
 0.16.8 -- 2024-05-04
 --------------------
 * Fixed: ``XdgTopLevel.parent`` always returnd a parent even if the parent is NULL.
