+==========
+PyPy 5.4.1
+==========
+
+We have released a bugfix for PyPy2.7-v5.4.0, released last week,
+due to the following issues:
+
+ * Update list of contributors in documentation and LICENSE file,
+ this was unfortunately left out of 5.4.0. My apoligies to the new
+ contributors
+
+ * Allow tests run with `-A` to find `libm.so` even if it is a script not a
+ dynamically loadable file
+
+ * Bump `sys.setrecursionlimit()` when translating PyPy, for translating with
CPython
+
+ * Tweak a float comparison with 0 in `backendopt.inline` to avoid rounding
errors
+
+ * Fix for an issue where os.access() accepted a float for mode
+
+ * Fix for and issue where `unicode.decode('utf8', 'custom_replace')` messed
up
+ the last byte of a unicode string sometimes
+
+ * Update built-in cffi_ to the soon-to-be-released 1.8.1 version
+
+ * Explicitly detect that we found as-yet-unsupported OpenSSL 1.1, and crash
+ translation with a message asking for help porting it
+
+Thanks to those who reported the issues.
+
+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.
+
+We also welcome developers of other
+`dynamic languages`_ to see what RPython can do for them.
+
+This release supports:
+
+ * **x86** machines on most common operating systems
+ (Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows 32, OpenBSD, FreeBSD),
+
+ * newer **ARM** hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux,
+
+ * big- and little-endian variants of **PPC64** running Linux,
+
+ * **s390x** running Linux
+
+.. _cffi: https://cffi.readthedocs.io
+.. _`PyPy and CPython 2.7.x`: http://speed.pypy.org
+.. _`dynamic languages`: http://pypyjs.org
+
+Please update, and continue to help us make PyPy better.
+
+Cheers
+
+The PyPy Team
