+=====================
+PyPy3 2.3.1 - Fulcrum
+=====================
+
+We're pleased to announce the first stable release of PyPy3. PyPy3
+targets Python 3 (3.2.5) compatibility.
+
+We would like to thank all of the people who donated_ to the `py3k proposal`_
+for supporting the work that went into this.
+
+You can download the PyPy3 2.3.1 release here:
+
+    http://pypy.org/download.html#pypy3-2-3-1
+
+Highlights
+==========
+
+* The first stable release of PyPy3: support for Python 3!
+
+* The stdlib has been updated to Python 3.2.5
+
+* Additional support for the u'unicode' syntax (`PEP 414`_) from Python 3.3
+
+* Updates from the default branch, such as incremental GC and various JIT
+  improvements
+
+* Resolved some notable JIT performance regressions from PyPy2:
+
+ - Re-enabled the previously disabled collection (list/dict/set) strategies
+
+ - Resolved performance of iteration over range objects
+
+ - Resolved handling of Python 3's exception __context__ unnecessarily forcing
+   frame object overhead
+
+.. _`PEP 414`: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0414/
+
+What is PyPy?
+==============
+
+PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
+CPython 2.7.6 or 3.2.5. It's fast due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
+
+This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows,
+and OpenBSD,
+as well as newer ARM hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux.
+
+While we support 32 bit python on Windows, work on the native Windows 64
+bit python is still stalling, we would welcome a volunteer
+to `handle that`_.
+
+.. _`handle that`: http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/windows.html#what-is-missing-for-a-full-64-bit-translation
+
+How to use PyPy?
+=================
+
+We suggest using PyPy from a `virtualenv`_. Once you have a virtualenv
+installed, you can follow instructions from `pypy documentation`_ on how
+to proceed. This document also covers other `installation schemes`_.
