+# pict-rs 0.5.16
+
+pict-rs is a simple image hosting microservice, designed to handle storing and retrieving images,
+animations, and videos, as well as providing basic image processing functionality.
+
+## Overview
+
+pict-rs 0.5.16 includes a couple bugfixes for parsing query paramters, better handling of proxied
+media, clearer postgres errors, and updated dependencies.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- [Query Fixes](#query-fixes)
+- [Better Concurrent Proxies](#better-concurrent-proxies)
+
+
+### Changes
+
+- [Improved Postgres Errors](#improved-postgres-errors)
+
+
+## Upgrade Notes
+
+There are no significant changes from 0.5.15. Upgrading should be a simple as pulling a new version
+of pict-rs.
+
+
+## Descriptions
+
+### Query Fixes
+
+A couple boolean query parameters were not getting parsed properly, this impacted ?backgrounded for
+image downloads and ?force for pruning media. pict-rs 0.5.16 resolves this.
+
+
+### Better Concurrent Proxies
+
+When the same proxy endpoint was accessed more than once concurrently, only one request would end up
+succeeding. Now pict-rs better handles when multiple concurrent requests are made.
+
+
+### Improved Postgres Errors
+
+In some postgres errors, it is difficult to tell whether an error originated from within the
+postgres client or the postgres server. pict-rs 0.5.16 now includes extra context when displaying
+postgres errors to help discern this.
