 ## v3.3.0 (TBD)
 [Source](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/tree/3.3.0) | [Diff](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/compare/v3.2.1...3.3.0)
 
+This release is a minor update that includes several bug fixes and improvements. The main highlights are support for
+python 3.12 and 3.13 (finally), a new way to register plugins using python entry points, new settings
+to control the package payload caching disk usage, and an improved plugins documentation.
+It also contains a lot of various bug fixes that should benifit a lot of users.
+
+Note that this release also drops support for Python 3.7. We are aware that this might affect some users,
+but we believe that the benefits of dropping Python 3.7 outweigh the potential drawbacks. Maintaining
+support for 3.7 was becoming impossible as the ecosystem is moving forward with future versions and
+leaving behind older versions.
