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
+Only a handful of failing tests remain in NumPy and Pandas on PyPy2.7, issues
+that appeared as excessive memory use were cleared up and other
incompatibilities
+were resolved.
+Cython 2.7 (released last week) should support more projects with PyPy, both on
+PyPy2.7 and PyPy3.5 beta.
+
+We improved JSON support for recurring string keys when parsing, which should
+decrease memory use and increase parsing speed.
+
+CFFI_, which is part of the PyPy release, has been updated to 1.11,
+improving an already great package for interfacing with C. CFFI now supports
+complex arguments in API mode, as well as ``char16_t`` and ``char32_t`` and has
+improved support for callbacks.
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.

As always, this release fixed many other issues and bugs raised by the
growing community of PyPy users. We strongly recommend updating.
