+Changelog for devtool-upgrade-test1: 1.5.3 -> 1.6.0
+
+1.6.0 - 15 March 2015
+  - fix lstat64 support when unavailable - separate patches supplied by
+    Ganael Laplanche and Peter Korsgaard
+  - (#1506) new option "-D" / "--delay-start" to only show bar after N
+    seconds (Damon Harper)
+  - new option "--fineta" / "-I" to show ETA as time of day rather than time
+    remaining - patch supplied by Erkki Seppälä (r147)
+  - (#1509) change ETA (--eta / -e) so that days are given if the hours
+    remaining are 24 or more (Jacek Wielemborek)
+  - (#1499) repeat read and write attempts on partial buffer fill/empty to
+    work around post-signal transfer rate drop reported by Ralf Ramsauer
+  - (#1507) do not try to calculate total size in line mode, due to bug
+    reported by Jacek Wielemborek and Michiel Van Herwegen
+  - cleanup: removed defunct RATS comments and unnecessary copyright notices
+  - clean up displayed lines when using --watchfd PID, when PID exits
+  - output errors on a new line to avoid overwriting transfer bar
+
+1.5.7 - 26 August 2014
+  - show KiB instead of incorrect kiB (Debian bug #706175)
+  - (#1284) do not gzip man page, for non-Linux OSes (Bob Friesenhahn)
+  - work around "awk" bug in tests/016-numeric-timer in decimal "," locales
+  - fix "make rpm" and "make srpm", extend "make release" to sign releases
