+IPython 7.6.0
+=============
+
+IPython 7.6.0 contains a couple of bug fixes and number of small features
+additions as well as some compatibility with the current development version of
+Python 3.8.
+
+   - Add a ``-l`` option to :magic:`psearch` to list the available search
+     types. :ghpull:`11672`
+   - Support ``PathLike`` for ``DisplayObject`` and ``Image``. :ghpull:`11764`
+   - Configurability of timeout in the test suite for slow platforms.
+     :ghpull:`11756`
+   - Accept any casing for matplotlib backend. :ghpull:`121748`
+   - Properly skip test that requires numpy to be installed :ghpull:`11723`
+   - More support for Python 3.8 and positional only arguments (pep570)
+     :ghpull:`11720`
+   - Unicode names for the completion are loaded lazily on first use which
+     should decrease startup time. :ghpull:`11693`
+
+Special Thanks to Gabriel (@gpotter2 on GitHub), who among other took care many
+of the remaining task for 7.4 and 7.5, like updating the website.
