+# Changelist for MADlib version rel/v1.15.1 to rel/v1.16
+
+# This file contains all changes that were introduced in a new version of
+# MADlib. This changelist is used by the upgrade script to detect what objects
+# should be upgraded (while retaining all other objects from the previous version)
+
+# New modules (actually .sql_in files) added in upgrade version
+# For these files the sql_in code is retained as is with the functions in the
+# file installed on the upgrade version. All other files (that don't have
+# updates), are cleaned up to remove object replacements
+new module:
+    input_data_preprocessor:
+    keras_model_arch_table:
+    madlib_keras:
+
+# Changes in the types (UDT) including removal and modification
+udt:
+
+# List of the UDF changes that affect the user externally. This includes change
+# in function name, return type, argument order or types, or removal of
+# the function. In each case, the original function is as good as removed and a
+# new function is created. In such cases, we should abort the upgrade if there
+# are user views dependent on this function, since the original function will
+# not be present in the upgraded version.
