+
+The 1.5.3 release is a bugfix release that addresses miscellaneous bugs from
+1.5.2 and earlier, including a regression in the RDP support, and updates all
+dependencies to their latest compatible versions. For a full list of all
+changes in this release, please see the [changelog](#changelog) below.
+
+**The 1.5.3 release is compatible with older 1.x components.** You should
+upgrade older components to 1.5.3 when possible, however things should continue
+to work correctly in the interim:
+
+* Extensions written for older 1.x releases can be used by 1.5.3.
+* Components written for the version of the Guacamole protocol used by older
+  1.x releases can be used with components of the 1.5.3 release.
