+
+PyMongo 4.15 brings a number of changes including:
+
+- Added :class:`bson.decimal128.DecimalEncoder` and :class:`bson.decimal128.DecimalDecoder`
+  to support encoding and decoding of BSON Decimal128 values to decimal.Decimal values using the TypeRegistry API.
+
 Changes in Version 4.14.1 (2025/08/19)
