+==========
+PyPy 5.7.1
+==========
+
+We have released a bugfix PyPy2.7-v5.7.1 and PyPy3.5-v5.7.1 beta (Linux 64bit),
+due to the following issues:
+
+  * correctly handle an edge case in dict.pop (issue #2508_)
+
+  * fix a regression to correctly handle multiple inheritance in a C-API type
+    where the seconde base is an app-level class with a ``__new__`` function
+
+  * fix a regression to fill a C-API type's ``tp_getattr`` slot from a
+    ``__getattr__`` method (issue #2523_)
+
+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 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
+
+Please update, and continue to help us make PyPy better.
+
+Cheers
