 =======================
 
-A new release of PyYAML is now available:

+A new beta release of PyYAML is now available:
+https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/releases/tag/6.0b1
 
-This release contains a fix for AttributeError during module import in some
-mixed version installations.
+The previously-deprecated default loader selection in `yaml.load()` has
+been removed; `Loader` is now a required argument.
 
-PyYAML 5.4.1 will be the last release to support Python 2.7 (except for possible
-critical bug fix releases).
+Support for Python 2.7 and 3.5 has been dropped, and support for Python 3.10
+added. It now includes libyaml 0.2.5 extension wheels for MacOS M1
+(Apple Silicon/arm64), Linux s390x and Linux aarch64.
+
+Numerous other bugfixes and code cleanups are included in this release.
