 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-* Remove support for Python 3.7 in concert with NumPy dependency.
-  By :user:`Davis Bennett <d-v-b>`; :issue:`1067`.
+* **Support of alternative array classes** by introducing a new argument,
+  meta_array, that specifies the type/class of the underlying array. The
+  meta_array argument can be any class instance that can be used as the like
+  argument in NumPy (see `NEP 35
+  <https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0035-array-creation-dispatch-with-array-function.html>`_).
+  enabling support for CuPy through, for example, the creation of a CuPy CPU
+  compressor.
