+Version 1.5.0 (TBA)
+-------------------
+
+* Support for exception chaining. (commit `041520
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/commit/0415208e83885dba038516d86c2f4cca5f81df5f>`__).
+* The :cpp:func:`nb::list::append() <list::append>` method now performs perfect
+  forwarding. (commit `2219d0
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/commit/2219d0b0fec5e6cc4fce96bc3dbad6bfa148a57d>`__).
+* Many improvements to the handling of return value policies in
+  :cpp:class:`nb::ndarray\<..\> <ndarray>` to avoid unnecessary copies. (commit `ffd22b
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/commit/ffd22b069ba95a546baeca0bdb6711fb9059cad8>`__,
+  `a79575

+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/commit/6f0c3feaf088e78c75f2abee90164f20446eba08>`__).
+* The :cpp:class:`nb::ndarray\<..\> <ndarray>` class now has an additional
+  convenience constructor that takes the shape and (optionally) strides using
+  ``std::initializer_list``. (commit `de1117
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/commit/de111766b21fe893a41cd4614a346b0da251f7f2>`__).
+* Inference of ``automatic*`` return value policy was entirely moved to the
+  base C++ class type caster. (commit `1ff9df
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/commit/1ff9df03fb56a16f56854b4cecd1f388f73d3b53>`__).
+* Switch to the new Python 3.12 error status API if available. (commit `36751c
+  <https://github.com/wjakob/nanobind/commit/36751cb05994a96a3801bf511c846a7bc68e2f09>`__).
