-# 1.16.2 (2016-10-06)
-
-- Backport a few fixes from v2:
-    - Support for PFX files as SSL connection options ([#630](https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/pull/630)).
-    - Fix edge case where quickly refreshing the browser could result in the server crashing ([#637](https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/pull/637)).
-    - Webpack bundle assets were not loaded after using the proxy `bypass` feature ([#614](https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/pull/614)). 
-
-# 1.16.0 (2016-09-17)
-
-- Backport a few more fixes from v2:
-    - Add `clientLogLevel` (`--client-log-level` for CLI) option. It controls the log messages shown in the browser. Available levels are `error`, `warning`, `info` or `none` ([#579](https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/issues/579)).
-    - Limit websocket retries when the server can't be reached ([#589](https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/issues/589)).
-
-# 1.15.2 (2016-09-14)

-- Backport a few fixes from v2 ([#604](https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/pull/604)):
-    - Using https and manually including the client script resulted in a wrong url for the websocket.
-    - Manually including the client script didn't work resulted in a wrong url for the websocket in some cases.
-    - Compatibility with platforms that don't use a hostname (Electron / Ionic).
