+===========
+PyPy 5.10.1
+===========
+
+We have released a bugfix PyPy3.5-v5.10.1
+due to the following issues:
+
+  * Fix ``time.sleep(float('nan')`` which would hang on windows
+
+  * Fix missing ``errno`` constants on windows
+
+  * Fix issue 2718_ for the REPL on linux
+
+  * Fix an overflow in converting 3 secs to nanosecs (issue 2717_ )
+
+  * Flag kwarg to ``os.setxattr`` had no effect
+
+  * Fix the winreg module for unicode entries in the registry on windows
+
+Note that many of these fixes are for our new beta verison of PyPy3.5 on
+windows. There may be more unicode problems in the windows beta version
+especially around the subject of directory- and file-names with non-ascii
+characters.
+
+Our downloads are available now. On macos, we recommend you wait for the
+Homebrew_ package.
+
+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.
+
+This PyPy 3.5 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

+The PyPy Team
