+Notable changes in 0.32 since 0.31)
+===================================
+
+* Python 3 is now preferred.  Python 2 support is deprecated, and it's
+  possible that we'll stop new development for Python 2 fairly soon.
+  If so, we'll probably continue to fix bugs in the last Python 2
+  compatible version for a while, but please make plans to migrate.
+
+  At the moment, ./configure doesn't explicitly look for any python
+  newer than python3.8 by default (though one might be selected by the
+  eventual python3 fallback).  If desired, you can explicitly select a
+  version like this:
+
+      PYTHON=python3.9 ./configure
+
+* With Python 3.9, the command line reported in tools like `ps` and
+  `top` will be `python...` rather than `bup...`.  This was caused by
+  an upstream change that appears to have been reverted.  We're likely
+  to avoid the issue entirely in a future relese.
+
+Bugs
+----
+
+* A number of Python 3 compatibility problems have been fixed.
+
+* `bup web` should no longer crash when attempting to listen on IPV6
+  interfaces.
+
+* `bup restore -vv` should no longer crash when printing paths with
+  Python 3.
+
+* `bup --prune-older --pretend` should format the plus/minus lines
+  correctly now.
+
+* The `TTY_WIDTH` should now be correctly propagated to subprocesses
+  and remotes..
+
+* Errors encountered while writing packfiles should be handled more
+  carefully.
+
+* Some issues with the handling of integral type signs and sizes on
+  the C side have been fixed.
+
+Build and install
+-----------------
+
+* The tests are now handled by pytest.  See the
+  [README](../README#getting-started) for the additional dependency
+  information and further instructions.
