+Version 2.12.0 (March 27, 2025)
+-------------------------------
+
+New Features:
+
+* ``pybind11`` now supports compiling for
+  `NumPy 2 <https://numpy.org/devdocs/numpy_2_0_migration_guide.html>`_. Most
+  code shouldn't change (see :ref:`upgrade-guide-2.12` for details). However,
+  if you experience issues you can define ``PYBIND11_NUMPY_1_ONLY`` to disable
+  the new support for now, but this will be removed in the future.
+  `#5050 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5050>`_
+
+* ``pybind11/gil_safe_call_once.h`` was added (it needs to be included
+  explicitly). The primary use case is GIL-safe initialization of C++
+  ``static`` variables.
+  `#4877 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4877>`_
+
+* Support move-only iterators in ``py::make_iterator``,
+  ``py::make_key_iterator``, ``py::make_value_iterator``.
+  `#4834 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4834>`_
+
+* Two simple ``py::set_error()`` functions were added and the documentation was
+  updated accordingly. In particular, ``py::exception<>::operator()`` was
+  deprecated (use one of the new functions instead). The documentation for
+  ``py::exception<>`` was further updated to not suggest code that may result
+  in undefined behavior.
+  `#4772 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4772>`_
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+* Removes potential for Undefined Behavior during process teardown.
+  `#4897 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4897>`_
+
+* Improve compatibility with the nvcc compiler (especially CUDA 12.1/12.2).
+  `#4893 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4893>`_
+
+* ``pybind11/numpy.h`` now imports NumPy's ``multiarray`` and ``_internal``
+  submodules with paths depending on the installed version of NumPy (for
+  compatibility with NumPy 2).
+  `#4857 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4857>`_
+
+* Builtins collections names in docstrings are now consistently rendered in
+  lowercase (list, set, dict, tuple), in accordance with PEP 585.
+  `#4833 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4833>`_
+
+* Added ``py::typing::Iterator<T>``, ``py::typing::Iterable<T>``.
+  `#4832 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4832>`_
+
+* Render ``py::function`` as ``Callable`` in docstring.
+  `#4829 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4829>`_
+
+* Also bump ``PYBIND11_INTERNALS_VERSION`` for MSVC, which unlocks two new
+  features without creating additional incompatibilities.
+  `#4819 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4819>`_
+
+* Guard against crashes/corruptions caused by modules built with different MSVC
+  versions.
+  `#4779 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4779>`_
+
+* A long-standing bug in the handling of Python multiple inheritance was fixed.
+  See PR #4762 for the rather complex details.
+  `#4762 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4762>`_
+
+* Fix ``bind_map`` with ``using`` declarations.
+  `#4952 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4952>`_
+
+* Qualify ``py::detail::concat`` usage to avoid ADL selecting one from

+  `#4955 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4955>`_
+
+* Use new PyCode API on Python 3.12+.
+  `#4916 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4916>`_

+v2.12
+=====
+
+NumPy support has been upgraded to support the 2.x series too. The two relevant
+changes are that:
+
+* ``dtype.flags()`` is now a ``uint64`` and ``dtype.alignment()`` an
+  ``ssize_t`` (and NumPy may return an larger than integer value for
+  ``itemsize()`` in NumPy 2.x).
+
+* The long deprecated NumPy function ``PyArray_GetArrayParamsFromObject``
+  function is not available anymore.
+
+Due to NumPy changes, you may experience difficulties updating to NumPy 2.
+Please see the [NumPy 2 migration guide](https://numpy.org/devdocs/numpy_2_0_migration_guide.html) for details.
+For example, a more direct change could be that the default integer ``"int_"``
+(and ``"uint"``) is now ``ssize_t`` and not ``long`` (affects 64bit windows).
+
+If you want to only support NumPy 1.x for now and are having problems due to
+the two internal changes listed above, you can define
+``PYBIND11_NUMPY_1_ONLY`` to disable the new support for now. Make sure you
+define this on all pybind11 compile units, since it could be a source of ODR
+violations if used inconsistently. This option will be removed in the future,
+so adapting your code is highly recommended.
