 gmpy2 Versions
 --------------
 
-This manual documents the two major versions of gmpy2. Sections that are
-specific to a particular version will be identified as such.
+gmpy2 2.1.3 is the last planned release that will support Python 2.7 and the
+early Python 3 releases. Bugfixes may be released.
 
-The 2.0 version is the stable release that only receives bug fixes and very
-minor updates. Version 2.1 is currently under active development and includes
-several new capabilities. Most gmpy2 2.0 code should run unchanged with
-gmpy2 2.1.
-
-The most significant change in gmpy2 2.1 is support for thread-safe contexts.
-This change required extensive refactoring of almost all internal functions.
-
-Please see the History chapter for a detail list of the changes.
+Development will shift to gmpy2 2.2.x 
 
 Installation
 ============
 
-Installing gmpy2 on Windows
----------------------------
-
-Pre-compiled versions of gmpy2 2.0.8 are available at
-`https://pypi.org/project/gmpy2/`.
-
-A pre-compiled version of gmpy2 2.1.0a1 is available at
-`https://pypi.org/project/gmpy2/2.1.0a1/`. Updated Windows versions should be
-available again beginning with version 2.1.0b1.
-
-Installing gmpy2 on Unix/Linux
-------------------------------
-
-Requirements
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-gmpy2 has only been tested with the most recent versions of GMP, MPFR and MPC.
-Specifically, for integer and rational support, gmpy2 requires GMP 5.0.x or
-later. To support multiple-precision floating point arithmetic, MPFR 3.1.x or
-later is required. MPC 1.0.1 or later is required for complex arithmetic.
-
-Short Instructions
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-gmpy2 requires the development files for GMP, MPFR, and MPC. The actual package
-that provides these files varies between Linux distributions. Installing
-"libmpc-dev" (or its equivalent) is usually sufficient.
-
-If your system has the development libraries installed, compiling should be as
-simple as:
-
-::
-
-    cd <gmpy2 source directory>
-    python setup.py build_ext --force install --force
-
-If this fails, read on.
-
-Detailed Instructions
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Note: You really shouldn't need to do this. Unless you need the capabilities
-provided a newer GMP/MPFR/MPC, you should use the versions provided by your
-distribution.
-
-If your Linux distribution does not support recent versions of GMP, MPFR and
-MPC, you will need to compile your own versions. To avoid any possible conflict
-with existing libraries on your system, it is recommended to use a directory
-not normally used by your distribution.
-
-Create the desired destination directory for GMP, MPFR, and MPC.
-::
-
-    $ mkdir /home/<<your username>>/local
-
-Download and un-tar the GMP source code. Change to the GMP source directory and
-compile GMP.
-::
-
-    $ cd /home/<<your username>>/local/src/gmp-6.1.2
-    $ ./configure --prefix=/home/<<your username>>/local
-    $ make
-    $ make check
-    $ make install
-
-Download and un-tar the MPFR source code. Change to the MPFR source directory
-and compile MPFR.
-::
-
-    $ cd /home/<<your username>>/local/src/mpfr-4.0.1
-    $ ./configure --prefix=/home/<<your username>>/local --with-gmp=/home/<<your username>>/local
-    $ make
-    $ make check
-    $ make install
-
-Download and un-tar the MPC source code. Change to the MPC source directory
-and compile MPC.
-::
-
-    $ cd /home/<<your username>>/local/src/mpc-1.1.0
-    $ ./configure --prefix=/home/<<your username>>/local --with-gmp=/home/<<your username>>/local --with-mpfr=/home/<<your username>>/local
-    $ make
-    $ make check
-    $ make install
-
-Compile gmpy2 and specify the location of GMP, MPFR and MPC. The location of
-the GMP, MPFR, and MPC libraries is embedded into the gmpy2 library so the new
-versions of GMP, MPFR, and MPC do not need to be installed the system library
-directories. The prefix directory is added to the beginning of the directories
-that are checked so it will be found first.
-::
-
-    $ python setup.py install --prefix=/home/case/local
-
-If you get a "permission denied" error message, you may need to use::
-
-    $ python setup.py build --prefix=/home/case/local
-    $ sudo python setup.py install --prefix=/home/case/local
-
-Options for setup.py
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-**--force**
-    Ignore the timestamps on all files and recompile. Normally, the results of a
-    previous compile are cached. To force gmpy2 to recognize external changes
-    (updated version of GMP, etc.), you will need to use this option.
-
-**--mpir**
-    Force the use of MPIR instead of GMP. GMP is the default library on non-Windows
-    operating systems.
-
-**--gmp**
-    Force the use of GMP instead of MPIR. MPIR is the default library on Windows
-    operating systems.
-
-**--shared=<...>**
-    Add the specified directory prefix to the beginning of the list of
-    directories that are searched for GMP, MPFR, and MPC shared libraries.
-
-**--static=<...>**
-    Create a statically linked library using libraries from the specified path,
-    or from the operating system's default library location if no path is specified
+Pre-compiled binary wheels are available on PyPI for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
