+- Published native binary wheels to PyPI for all the python minor versions and platform
+  and architecture currently supported that would benefit from this. They will include
+  precompiled Cython-accelerated modules (e.g. cu2qu) without requiring to compile them
+  from source. The pure-python wheel and source distribution will continue to be
+  published as always (pip will automatically chose them when no binary wheel is
+  available for the given platform, e.g. pypy). Use ``pip install --no-binary=fonttools fonttools``
+  to expliclity request pip to install from the pure-python source.
 - [designspaceLib|varLib] Add initial support for specifying axis mappings and build
   ``avar2`` table from those (#3123).
 - [feaLib] Support variable ligature caret position (#3130).
