 * The option `python.EmulateJython` to enable Jython emulation is now marked as stable, and can thus be relied upon in production.
 * Fixed parsing of pyvenv.cfg according to PEP 405, which is required to use [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv?tab=readme-ov-file#uv) generated venvs with GraalPy.
 * Use https://www.graalvm.org/python/wheels/ as the default value for the `--extra-index-url` pip option. This will make it easy for users to install GraalPy binary wheels in the future.
+* You can now create GraalPy venvs and install pure Python packages into GraalPy venvs with [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv), the fast Python package installer. Note that some packages have compatibility issues when installed this way, and still need to be installed with plain `pip`.
 
 ## Version 24.0.0
 * We now provide a collection of recipes in the form of GitHub Actions to build popular native extensions on GraalPy. These provide a reproducible way for the community to build native extensions for GraalPy with the correct dependencies. See scripts/wheelbuilder/README.md for details.
