+PyPy v7.3.0: release of 2.7, and 3.6
+
+
+The PyPy team is proud to release the version 7.3.0 of PyPy, which includes
+two different interpreters:
+
+  - PyPy2.7, which is an interpreter supporting the syntax and the features of
+Python 2.7 including the stdlib for CPython 2.7.13
+
+  - PyPy3.6: which is an interpreter supporting the syntax and the features of
+Python 3.6, including the stdlib for CPython 3.6.9.
+
+The interpreters are based on much the same codebase, thus the double
+release.
+
+We have worked with the python packaging group to support tooling around
+building third party packages for python, so this release changes the ABI tag
+for PyPy.
+
+The `CFFI`_ backend has been updated to version 1.13.1. We recommend using CFFI
+rather than c-extensions to interact with C.
+
+The built-in ``_cppyy`` module was upgraded to 1.10.6, which
+provides, among others, better template resolution, stricter ``enum`` handling,
+anonymous struct/unions, cmake fragments for distribution, optimizations for
+PODs, and faster wrapper calls. We reccomend using cppyy_ for performant
+wrapping of C++ code for Python.
+
+The vendored pyrepl package for interaction inside the REPL was updated.
+
+Support for codepage encoding and decoding was added for Windows.
+
+As always, this release fixed several issues and bugs raised by the growing
+community of PyPy users.  We strongly recommend updating. Many of the fixes are
+the direct result of end-user bug reports, so please continue reporting issues
+as they crop up.
+
+You can download the v7.3 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. Since the
+previous release, we have accepted contributions from 27 new contributors,
+thanks for pitching in.

+
+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.
+
+This 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
+
+  * 64-bit **ARM** machines 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 (32
+bit), although PyPy does support ARM 32 bit processors.

+Changelog
+=
+
+Changes shared across versions
+--
+
+* Fix segfault when calling descr-methods with no arguments
+* Change the SOABI and subsequently change the reported ABI tag.
+* Update the builtin ``_cppyy`` backend to 1.10.6
+* Performance improvements in string/unicode handling
+* Fix compilation error when building `revdb`_ (`issue 3084`_, actually
+  released in PyPy 7.2 but not mentioned in the release notes)
+* Add JIT options to documentation and an option for JIT help via ``pypy --jit
+  help``
+* Fix regex escapes in pyrepl (`issue 3097`_)
+* Allow reloading of subclasses of module (`issue 3099`_)
+* Work around a gcc bug, which was reported to them and fixed (`issue 3086`_)
+* Fix (again) faulty logic when decoding invalid UTF-8 (`issue 2389`_)
+* Fix up LICENSE file
+* Turn all ``http`` links in the documentation to ``https``
+* Update the bndled pip and setuptools (used in ``pypy -mensurepip`` to version
+  that support `manylinux2010`_ wheels

+==
+PyPy 5.0.0
+==
+
+We have released PyPy 5.0.0, about three months after PyPy 4.0.0. 
+We encourage all users of PyPy to update to this version. There are 
+bug fixes and a major upgrade to our c-api layer (cpyext)
+
+You can download the PyPy 5.0.0 release 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. 
+
+CFFI
+
+
+While not applicable only to PyPy, `cffi`_ is arguably our most significant
+contribution to the python ecosystem. PyPy 5.0.0 ships with 
+`cffi-1.5.2`_ which now allows embedding PyPy (or cpython) in a c program.

+
+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, and the
+big- and little-endian variants of **ppc64** running Linux.
+
+.. _`pypy and cpython 2.7.x`: http://speed.pypy.org
+.. _`dynamic languages`: http://pypyjs.org
