+=====================================
+PyPy2.7 and PyPy3.5 v5.9 dual release
+=====================================
+
+The PyPy team is proud to release both PyPy2.7 v5.9 (an interpreter supporting
+Python 2.7 syntax), and a beta-quality PyPy3.5 v5.9 (an interpreter for Python
+3.5 syntax). The two releases are both based on much the same codebase, thus
+the dual release. Note that PyPy3.5 supports Linux 64bit only for now.
+
+This new PyPy2.7 release includes the upstream stdlib version 2.7.13, and
+PyPy3.5 includes the upstream stdlib version 3.5.3.
+
+XXXX hilights here
+
+
+Please let us know if your use case is slow, we have ideas how to make things
+faster but need real-world examples (not micro-benchmarks) of problematic code.
+
+Work sponsored by a Mozilla grant_ continues on PyPy3.5; numerous fixes from
+CPython were ported to PyPy and PEP 489 was fully implemented. Of course the
+bug fixes and performance enhancements mentioned above are part of both PyPy
+2.7 and PyPy 3.5.
+
+CFFI_, which is part of the PyPy release, has been updated to an unreleased
1.11,
+improving an already great package for interfacing with C.
+
+As always, this release fixed many other issues and bugs raised by the
+growing community of PyPy users. We strongly recommend updating.
+
+You can download the v5.9 releases here:
+
+ http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+We would like to thank our donors for the continued support of the PyPy
+project.
+
+We would also like to thank our contributors 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 and CPython 3.5. 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.
+
+The PyPy 2.7 release supports:
+
+ * **x86** machines on most common operating systems
+ (Linux 32/64 bits, Mac OS X 64 bits, Windows 32 bits, OpenBSD, FreeBSD)
+
+ * newer **ARM** hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux,
+
+ * big- and little-endian variants of **PPC64** running Linux,
+
+ * **s390x** running Linux
+
+.. _`PyPy and CPython 2.7.x`: http://speed.pypy.org
+.. _`dynamic languages`: http://rpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html
