+Most important enhancements
+===========================
+
+- Support for Python 3.12 was added in this release. In addition we added Robot Framework 7.0.1
+  while dropping 5.0.1 which did not officially support Python 3.12. In addition with the almost
+  monthly releases of Selenium we have caught up testing against and supporting Selenium versions
+  4.21.0, 4.22.0, 4.23.1, and 4.24.0. (`#1906`_)
+- SeleniumLibrary v6.6.1 fixes a bad required version for Python 3.12. v6.6.0 was only compatible
+  with Python 3.12.0 and not what was desired or any 3.12.x. The point release fixes that issue.
+
+Acknowledgements
+================
+
+- I want to thank grepwood, KotlinIsland, and Robin Mackaij for pushing support python 3.12 and
+  Yuri, Tatu and Lassi for reviewing the changes. (`#1906`_)
