+- 🌟 Added a new `CIBW_ENABLE`/`enable` feature that replaces `CIBW_FREETHREADED_SUPPORT`/`free-threaded-support` and `CIBW_PRERELEASE_PYTHONS` with a system that supports both. In cibuildwheel 3, this will also include a PyPy setting and the deprecated options will be removed. (#2048)
+- 🌟 [Dependency groups](https://peps.python.org/pep-0735/) are now supported for tests. Use `CIBW_TEST_GROUPS`/`test-groups` to specify groups in `[dependency-groups]` for testing. (#2063)
+- 🌟 Support for the experimental Ubuntu-based ARMv7l manylinux image (#2052)
+- ✨ Show a warning when cibuildwheel is run from Python 3.10 or older; cibuildwheel 3.0 will require Python 3.11 or newer as host (#2050)
+- 🐛 Fix issue with stderr interfering with checking the docker version (#2074)
+- 🛠 Python 3.9 is now used in `CIBW_BEFORE_ALL`/`before-all` on linux, replacing 3.8, which is now EoL (#2043)
+- 🛠 Error messages for producing a pure-Python wheel are slightly more informative (#2044)
+- 🛠 Better error when `uname -m` fails on ARM (#2049)
+- 🛠 Better error when repair fails and docs for abi3audit on Windows (#2058)
+- 🛠 Better error when `manylinux-interpreters ensure` fails (#2066)

 - 🐛 Fixes some bugs building Linux wheels on macOS. (#1961)
 - ⚠️ Changes the minimum version of Docker/Podman to Docker API version 1.43, Podman API version 3. The only mainstream runner this should affect is Travis Graviton2 runners - if so you can [upgrade your version of Docker](https://github.com/pypa/cibuildwheel/pull/1961#issuecomment-2304060019).

-- 🌟 CPython 3.13 wheels are now built by default - without the `CIBW_PRERELEASE_PYTHONS` flag. It's time to build and upload these wheels to PyPI! This release includes CPython 3.13.0rc1, which is guaranteed to be ABI compatible with the final release. Free-threading is still behind a flag/config option. (#1950)
-- ✨ Provide a `CIBW_ALLOW_EMPTY` environment variable as an alternative to the command line flag. (#1937)
-- 🐛 Don't use uv on PyPy3.8 on Windows, it stopped working starting in 0.2.25. Note that PyPy 3.8 is EoL. (#1868)
-- 🛠 Set the `VSCMD_ARG_TGT_ARCH` variable based on target arch. (#1876)
-- 🛠 Undo cleaner output on pytest 8-8.2 now that 8.3 is out. (#1943)
-- 📚 Update examples to use Python 3.12 on host  (cibuildwheel will require Python 3.11+ on the host machine starting in October 2024) (#1919)
