 IN DEVELOPMENT
 --------------
 
-Changes will be added here periodically.
+Removed support for Python 2.7, Python 3.5, and MSVC 2015. Support for MSVC
+2017 is limited due to availability of CI runners; we highly recommend MSVC
+2019 or 2022 be used.
+
+New features:
+
+* ``type_caster<std::monostate>`` was added. ``std::monostate`` is a tag type
+  that allows ``std::variant`` to act as an optional, or allows default
+  construction of a ``std::variant`` holding a non-default constructible type.
+  `#3818 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3818>`_
+
+* Support bytearray casting to string.
+  `#3707 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3707>`_
+
+Changes:
+
+* Python 2 support was removed completely.
+  `#3688 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3688>`_
+
+* The minimum version for MSVC is now 2017.
+  `#3722 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3722>`_
+

+  `#3826 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3826>`_
+
+* The bindings for capsules now have more consistent exception handling.
+  `#3825 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3825>`_
+
+* Fix exception handling when ``pybind11::weakref()`` fails.
+  `#3739 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3739>`_
+
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+* ``PYBIND11_OBJECT_CVT`` and ``PYBIND11_OBJECT_CVT_DEFAULT`` macro can be used
+  to define classes in namespaces other than pybind11.
+  `#3797 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3797>`_
+
+Build system improvements:
+
+* Add MSVC builds in debug mode to CI.
+  `#3784 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3784>`_
+
+* MSVC 2022 C++20 coverage was added to GitHub Actions, including Eigen.

+
+* Enum now has an ``__index__`` method on Python <3.8 too.

+
+* Local internals are now cleared after finalizing the interpreter.
+  `#3744 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3744>`_
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+* Better support for Python 3.11 alphas.
+  `#3694 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3694>`_
+
+* ``PYBIND11_TYPE_CASTER`` now uses fully qualified symbols, so it can be used
+  outside of ``pybind11::detail``.

+
+* Fix test failures with numpy 1.22 by ignoring whitespace when comparing
+  ``str()`` of dtypes.
+  `#3682 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/3682>`_
+
+
+Backend and tidying up:
+
+* clang-tidy: added ``readability-qualified-auto``,
+  ``readability-braces-around-statements``,
+  ``cppcoreguidelines-prefer-member-initializer``,
+  ``clang-analyzer-optin.performance.Padding``,
+  ``cppcoreguidelines-pro-type-static-cast-downcast``, and
+  ``readability-inconsistent-declaration-parameter-name``.
