-Version TBD (not yet released)
-------------------------------
+Version 2.10.0 (Dec 8, 2025)
+----------------------------
+
+- ABI version 17.
+
+- Nanobind now officially supports the **MinGW-w64** and **Intel ICX**
+  compilers. (PR `#1188 <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1188>`__).
+
+- Version 2.10 drops support for Python 3.8, which reached *End-Of-Life* in
+  October 2025. (PR `#1236 <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1236>`__).
+
+- The new :cpp:class:`nb::array_api <array_api>` framework tag can be used to
+  create an nd-array wrapper object that supports both the Python buffer
+  protocol and the DLPack methods ``__dlpack__`` and ``__dlpack_device__``.
+
+  Furthermore, nanobind now supports importing/exporting tensors via the legacy
+  (unversioned) DLPack interface, as well a new versioned interface. The latter
+  provides a flag indicating whether an nd-array is read-only. (PR `#1175
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1175>`__).
+
+- Added ``bfloat`` to the nd-array import conversion code, fixing imports of
+  bfloat16 tensors. (PR `#1228
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1228>`__).
+
+- nanobind now uses per-module precomputed constants, particularly strings, to
+  avoid costs from creating these repeatedly. This improves the performance of
+  nd-array and enumeration casts. (PR `#1184
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1184>`__).
+
+- Fixed a segfault in garbage collection traversal of Python subclasses of
+  class bindings with :cpp:class:`nb::is_weak_referenceable
+  <is_weak_referenceable>`. (PR `#1206
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1206>`__).
+
+- Fixed a potential reference leak in the ``std::array`` type caster. (commit
+  `bfacaf7
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/commit/bfacaf75525c8a5e5f0a80fd69a985c4ae03d3d1>`__).
 
-- ABI version 17. The layout of the `nb_inst` class was changed to fix a data race
-  between `clear_keep_alive` and other bitfields in the same struct (PR `#1191
+- STL type casters now directly reject incorrectly sized inputs, which avoids
+  performance pitfalls when passing large arrays. (commit `edf5753
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/commit/edf5753a13f98132b8da3d56fe94c31c678b2273>`__,
+  `dc35d69
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/commit/dc35d69f65936280b2521941b2ce9d5ad16141d1>`__).
+
+- Fixed ``__new__`` overloads with variadic positional arguments but no
+  variadic keyword arguments, which incorrectly prevented nullary calls. (PR
+  `#1172 <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1172>`__).
+
+- Removed zero-length arrays to improve compiler compatibility. (PR `#1158
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1158>`__).
+
+- Fixed a data race related caused by writes to a bit-field in free-threaded
+  extension builds (PR `#1191
   <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1191>`__)
 
-- Nanobind now officially supports **MinGW-w64** and **Intel ICX** (the modern
-  Clang-based Intel compiler). Continuous integration tests have been added to
-  ensure compatibility with these compilers on an ongoing basis.
-
-- The framework ``nb::array_api`` is now available to return an nd-array from
-  C++ to Python as an object that supports both the Python buffer protocol as
-  well as the DLPack methods ``__dlpack__`` and ``_dlpack_device__``.
-  Nanobind now supports importing and exporting nd-arrays via capsules that
-  contain the ``DLManagedTensorVersioned`` struct, which has a flag bit
-  indicating the nd-array is read-only.
-  (PR `#1175 <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1175>`__).
+- **Stub generation improvements**:
+
+  - Added a new ``--exclude-values`` flag that forces all values to be rendered
+    as ``...`` in stub files. (PR `#1185
+    <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1185>`__).
+
+  - Added support for ``typing.ParamSpec`` in generated stubs.
+    (PR `#1194 <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1194>`__).
+
+  - NumPy boolean arrays now use ``np.bool_`` dtype in generated stubs instead
+    of deprecated alternatives.
+    (commit `20fab93 <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/commit/20fab9386cd6c363878f67296d6b39a66af60a0a>`__).
+
+  - Auto-generated enum APIs are now excluded from stub files.
+    (PR `#1182 <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1182>`__).
+
+  - Pattern files now support ``__prefix__`` and ``__suffix__`` patterns
+    within classes for further customization of class stubs.
+    (PR `#1235 <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1235>`__).
+
+  - Various minor improvements to the stub generator.
+    (PR `#1179 <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/pull/1179>`__).
+
+- Minor/miscellaneous fixes: PRs `#1157
