+24.2.1 (2024-02-14)
+===================
+
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Add support for Python patch releases 3.11.8 and 3.12.2, which changed
+  internal details of threading.
+
+  As a result of these changes, note that it is no longer possible to
+  change the ``__class__`` of a ``gevent.threading._DummyThread``
+  object on those versions.
+
+  See :issue:`2020`.
+
+Other
+-----
+
+Other updates for compatibility with the standard library include:
+
+  - Errors raised from ``subprocess.Popen`` may not have a filename set.
+  - ``SSLSocket.recv_into`` and ``SSLSocket.read`` no longer require the
+    buffer to implement ``len`` and now work with buffers whose size is
+    not 1.
+  - gh-108310: Fix CVE-2023-40217: Check for & avoid the ssl pre-close
+    flaw.
+
+In addition:
+
+  - Drop ``setuptools`` to a soft test dependency.
+  - Drop support for very old versions of CFFI.
+  - Update bundled c-ares from 1.19.1 to 1.26.0.
+  - Locks created by gevent, but acquired from multiple different
+    threads (not recommended), no longer spin to implement timeouts
+    and interruptible blocking. Instead, they use the native
+    functionality of the Python 3 lock. This may improve some scenarios.
+    See :issue:`2013`.
