+version 1.9.0
 -----------------
+
+By far most of the work on this release has been done by
+`@ptweezy <https://github.com/ptweezy>`_. Almost all bug fixes and improvements
+are their work.
+
+Major changes:
+
++ Updated included ISA-L library to 2.32.1.
++ Python 3.10 and PyPy 3.10 are no longer supported. Added support for PyPy
+  3.12 and Python 3.15.
++ Restore PyPy wheel builds.
++ Fix builds on macOS with Apple Silicon, which used the portable C code of
+  ISA-L rather than its optimized aarch64 assembly. On an Apple M4,
+  decompression is 1.6 to 3 times faster, CRC-32 is 50 times faster, and
+  Adler-32 is 7 times faster.
+
+Optimizations and features:
+
 + ``isal_zlib.compressobj`` supports ``strategy=Z_FIXED`` at compression
   level 0. Level 0 then uses fixed Huffman codes instead of starting each
   block with a Huffman table of about 110 bytes. This shrinks small flushed

 + Speed up ``import isal.igzip`` and ``import isal.igzip_threaded`` by
   importing ``argparse`` and ``shutil`` only when the command line interface
   runs, and by dropping the ``multiprocessing`` import.
-+ Updated ISA-L to 2.32.1.
-+ Python 3.10 and PyPy 3.10 are no longer supported. Added support for PyPy
-  3.12 and Python 3.15.
-+ Restore PyPy wheel builds.
 + Speed up reading lines from binary ``igzip`` files through iteration,
   ``readlines()``, and ``readline()``. On an Apple M4, reading FASTQ data is
   1.13 times faster, and reading lines of a few bytes is 1.5 times faster.
 + Speed up each ``write()`` call to binary ``igzip`` files on CPython. On an
   AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with Python 3.14.8, writing FASTQ data or Python source
   code one line at a time is 1.1 times faster.
++ Speed up many small writes to ``igzip.IGzipFile`` on Python 3.12 and later.
+  ``IGzipFile`` collects these writes in the write buffer of
+  ``gzip.GzipFile`` and compresses them in large chunks, which makes writing
+  lines 1.4 times faster.
+
+Bug fixes:
+
 + Fix zlib streams compressed with a preset dictionary so they can be decoded
   by standard zlib, including builds linked against older ISA-L releases.
 + Fix backward seeking in igzip files by discarding buffered compressed data
