+============
+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
