 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
-- Add `nlohmann-json` dependency to the superbuild (https://github.com/robotology/robotology-superbuild/pull/776)
+- Add `nlohmann-json` dependency to the superbuild (https://github.com/robotology/robotology-superbuild/pull/776).
 - In `YARP`, all the `fake***` YARP devices are now enabled (https://github.com/robotology/robotology-superbuild/pull/797).
+- `pybind11` has been added as dependency for the `ROBOTOLOGY_USES_PYTHON` option (https://github.com/robotology/robotology-superbuild/pull/800), to enable compilation of Python bindings of `manif` and `bipedal-locomotion-framework`.
