   ``dec_ref()`` are now enabled by default again.
   `#4246 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4246>`_
 
+* ``py::initialize_interpreter()`` using ``PyConfig_InitPythonConfig()``
+  instead of ``PyConfig_InitIsolatedConfig()``, to obtain complete
+  ``sys.path``.
+  `#4473 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4473>`_
+
+* Cast errors now always include Python type information, even if
+  ``PYBIND11_DETAILED_ERROR_MESSAGES`` is not defined. This increases binary
+  sizes slightly (~1.5%) but the error messages are much more informative.
+  `#4463 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4463>`_

+
+Bug Fixes:
+
+* Fix a warning when pydebug is enabled on Python 3.11.
