+=======
+
+### Significant changes relative to 2.1.5:
+
+1. The SIMD dispatchers in libjpeg-turbo 2.1.4 and prior stored the list of
+supported SIMD instruction sets in a global variable, which caused an innocuous
+race condition whereby the variable could have been initialized multiple times
+if `jpeg_start_*compress()` was called simultaneously in multiple threads.
+libjpeg-turbo 2.1.5 included an undocumented attempt to fix this race condition
+by making the SIMD support variable thread-local.  However, that caused another
+issue whereby, if `jpeg_start_*compress()` was called in one thread and
+`jpeg_read_*()` or `jpeg_write_*()` was called in a second thread, the SIMD
+support variable was never initialized in the second thread.  On x86 systems,
+this led the second thread to incorrectly assume that AVX2 instructions were
+always available, and when it attempted to use those instructions on older x86
+CPUs that do not support them, an illegal instruction error occurred.  The SIMD
+dispatchers now ensure that the SIMD support variable is initialized before
+dispatching based on its value.
