+==========
+PyPy 5.0.1
+==========
+
+We have released a bugfix for PyPy 5.0, after reports that the newly released
+`lxml 3.6.0`_, which now supports PyPy 5.0 +, can `crash on large files`_.
+Thanks to those who reported the crash. Please update, downloads are available
+at pypy.org/download.html
+
+.. _`lxml 3.6.0`: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/3.6.0
+.. _`crash on large files`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2260
+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
+
+Please update, and continue to help us make PyPy better.
+
+Cheers
+
+The PyPy Team
