 Summary -- Release highlights
 =============================
 
+In 2.12, we introduced a new option ``py-version`` that permits to analyse code for a python
+version that may differ from your current python interpreter. This does not affect all checkers but
+permits, for example, to check for python 3.5 code smells (using f-string's) while using pylint with python 3.6.
+The minimum version to run pylint is now 3.6.2, while the last working version for python 3.6.0
+and 3.6.1 was pylint 2.9.3.
+
+On top of fixing a lot of false positives and bugs, we also added new default checks, like
+``use-implicit-booleaness-not-comparison``, ``overridden-final-method``, and ``useless-with-lock``.
+There's also better check for TOML configurations.
+
+Lastly, in addition to the information we already had about start line and start column,
+we introduced new information about the end line and end column of messages. This
+will permit to have more precise visual clue in IDE like in pylint for vs-code. The default
+will stay the same to not break compatibility but it can be retrieved by adding ``end_line``
+and ``end_column`` to the ``--msg-template`` option. For better result stick to python 3.8+.
+
+The checker for Yoda conditions is now an extension, you might want to enable it if you were
+relying on this check. There's also a new extension checker, ``consider-using-any-or-all`` that
+detects for loops that could be replaced by any or all, entirely contributed by @areveny,
+welcome to the team !
