+============
+PyPy 15.11.0
+============
+
+We're pleased and proud to unleash PyPy 15.11, a major update of the PyPy python2.7.10
+compatible interpreter with a Just In Time compiler.
+We have improved warmup time and memory overhead used for tracing, added vectorization
+for numpy and general loops where possible on x86 hardware, ...
+and increased functionality of numpy.
+
+You can download the PyPy 15.11 release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+We would like to thank our donors for the continued support of the PyPy
+project, and our volunteers and contributors.  
+
+We would also like to thank our contributors (7 new ones since PyPy 2.6.0) and 
+encourage new people to join the project. PyPy has many
+layers and we need help with all of them: `PyPy`_ and `RPython`_ documentation
+improvements, tweaking popular `modules`_ to run on pypy, or general `help`_ 
+with making RPython's JIT even better.

+
+What is PyPy?
+=============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7. It's fast (`pypy and cpython 2.7.x`_ performance comparison)
+due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports **x86** machines on most common operating systems
+(Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows 32, OpenBSD_, freebsd_),
+as well as newer **ARM** hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux.
+
+We also welcome developers of other
+`dynamic languages`_ to see what RPython can do for them.
+
+.. _`pypy and cpython 2.7.x`: http://speed.pypy.org
+.. _OpenBSD: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/lang/pypy

+.. _`dynamic languages`: http://pypyjs.org
+
+Highlights 
+===========
+
+* Bug Fixes
+
+  * ...
+
+  * Issues reported with our previous release were resolved_ after reports from users on
+    our issue tracker at https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues or on IRC at
+    #pypy.
+
+* New features:
+
+  * ...
+
+* Numpy:

+  * ...
+
+* Performance improvements:
+
+  * ...

+
+Please try it out and let us know what you think. We welcome feedback,
+we know you are using PyPy, please tell us about it!
+
+Cheers

-.. branch: keys_with_hash
-Improve the performance of dict.update() and a bunch of methods from
-sets, by reusing the hash value stored in one dict when inspecting
-or changing another dict with that key.
 
-.. branch: optresult-unroll 
-A major refactoring of the ResOperations that kills Box. Also rewrote
-unrolling to enable future enhancements.  Should improve warmup time
-by 20% or so.
-
-.. branch: optimize-cond-call
-Optimize common sequences of operations like
-``int_lt/cond_call`` in the JIT backends
-
-.. branch: missing_openssl_include
-Fix for missing headers in OpenBSD, already applied in downstream ports
-
-.. branch: gc-more-incremental
-Remove a source of non-incremental-ness in the GC: now
-external_malloc() no longer runs gc_step_until() any more. If there
-is a currently-running major collection, we do only so many steps
-before returning. This number of steps depends on the size of the
-allocated object. It is controlled by tracking the general progress
-of these major collection steps and the size of old objects that
-keep adding up between them.
-
-.. branch: remember-tracing-counts
-Reenable jithooks
-
-.. branch: detect_egd2
-
-.. branch: shadowstack-no-move-2
-Issue #2141: fix a crash on Windows and OS/X and ARM when running
-at least 20 threads.
-
-.. branch: numpy-ctypes
-
-Add support for ndarray.ctypes property.
-
-.. branch: share-guard-info
-
-Share guard resume data between consecutive guards that have only
-pure operations and guards in between.
-
-.. branch: issue-2148
-
-Fix performance regression on operations mixing numpy scalars and Python 
-floats, cf. issue #2148.
-
-.. branch: cffi-stdcall
-Win32: support '__stdcall' in CFFI.
-
-.. branch: callfamily
-
-Refactorings of annotation and rtyping of function calls.
-
-.. branch: fortran-order
-
-Allow creation of fortran-ordered ndarrays
-
-.. branch: type_system-cleanup
-
-Remove some remnants of the old ootypesystem vs lltypesystem dichotomy.
-
-.. branch: cffi-handle-lifetime
-
-ffi.new_handle() returns handles that work more like CPython's: they
-remain valid as long as the target exists (unlike the previous
-version, where handles become invalid *before* the __del__ is called).
-
-.. branch: ufunc-casting
-
-allow automatic casting in ufuncs (and frompypyfunc) to cast the
-arguments to the allowed function type declarations, fixes various
-failures in linalg cffi functions
-
-.. branch: vecopt
-.. branch: vecopt-merge
-
-A new optimization pass to use emit vectorized loops
