@@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ PyMongo 4.11 brings a number of changes including:
 - pymongocrypt>=1.12 is now required for :ref:`In-Use Encryption` support.
 - Added support for free-threaded Python with the GIL disabled. For more information see:
   `Free-threaded CPython <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#whatsnew313-free-threaded-cpython>`_.
+  We do not yet support free-threaded Python on Windows (`PYTHON-5027`_) or with In-Use Encryption (`PYTHON-5024`_).
 - :attr:`~pymongo.asynchronous.mongo_client.AsyncMongoClient.address` and
   :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.address` now correctly block when called on unconnected clients
   until either connection succeeds or a server selection timeout error is raised.
