+=========================================
+PyPy v7.1.0: release of 2.7, and 3.6-beta
+=========================================
+
+The PyPy team is proud to release the version 7.1.0 of PyPy, which includes
+two different interpreters:
+
+ - PyPy2.7, which is an interpreter supporting the syntax and the features of
+ Python 2.7
+
+ - PyPy3.6-beta: this is the second official release of PyPy to support 3.6
+ features, although it is still considered beta quality.
+
+The interpreters are based on much the same codebase, thus the double
+release.
+
+Until we can work with downstream providers to distribute builds with PyPy, we
+have made packages for some common packages `available as wheels`_.
+
+As always, this release is 100% compatible with the previous one and fixed
+several issues and bugs raised by the growing community of PyPy users.
+We strongly recommend updating.
+
+The PyPy3.6 release is still not production quality so your mileage may vary.
+There are open issues with incomplete compatibility and c-extension support.
+
+You can download the v7.0 releases here:
+
+ http://pypy.org/download.html
+
+We would like to thank our donors for the continued support of the PyPy
+project. If PyPy is not quite good enough for your needs, we are available for
+direct consulting work.
+
+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, 3.6. 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 release supports:
+
+ * **x86** machines on most common operating systems
+ (Linux 32/64 bits, Mac OS X 64 bits, Windows 32 bits, OpenBSD, FreeBSD)
+
+ * big- and little-endian variants of **PPC64** running Linux,
+
+ * **s390x** running Linux
+
+Unfortunately at the moment of writing our ARM buildbots are out of service,
+so for now we are **not** releasing any binary for the ARM architecture.
