+* A ``PYBIND11_SIMPLE_GIL_MANAGEMENT`` option was added (cmake, C++ define),
+  along with many additional tests in ``test_gil_scoped.py``. The option may be
+  useful to try when debugging GIL-related issues, to determine if the more
+  complex default implementation is or is not to blame. See #4216 for
+  background. WARNING: Please be careful to not create ODR violations when
+  using the option: everything that is linked together with mutual symbol
+  visibility needs to be rebuilt.
+  `#4216 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4216>`_
+
+* ``PYBIND11_EXPORT_EXCEPTION`` was made non-empty only under macOS. This makes
+  Linux builds safer, and enables the removal of warning suppression pragmas for
+  Windows.

 Bug fixes:
 
+* Fixed a bug where ``UnicodeDecodeError`` was not propagated from various
+  ``py::str`` ctors when decoding surrogate utf characters.
+  `#4294 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4294>`_
+
+* Revert perfect forwarding for ``make_iterator``. This broke at least one
+  valid use case. May revisit later.
+  `#4234 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4234>`_
+
+* Fix support for safe casts to ``void*`` (regression in 2.10.0).
+  `#4275 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4275>`_
+
+* Fix ``char8_t`` support (regression in 2.9).
+  `#4278 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/4278>`_

 * Fix MSVC 2019 v.1924 & C++14 mode error for ``overload_cast``.
