+PSync version 0.5.0
+-------------------
+
+*Release date: July XX, 2024*
+
+Important changes and new features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- The build dependencies have been increased as follows:
+  - GCC >= 9.3 or Clang >= 7.0 are strongly *recommended* on Linux; GCC 8.x is also known
+  to work but is not officially supported
+  - Xcode 13 or later is *recommended* on macOS; older versions may still work but are not
+  officially supported
+  - Boost >= 1.71.0 is *required* on all platforms
+- We have officially moved to a modified FullSync algorithim originally designed by Ashlesh
+  Gawande as part of `his thesis work
+  <https://digitalcommons.memphis.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3162&context=etd>`__.
+  These changes are intended to lower delay and overhead when using FullSync
+
+Improvements and bug fixes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Constructor options are now passed in as single ``Options`` object (:issue:`5069`)
+- :psync:`FullProducer` no longer appends the hash of the IBF to the data name; this had no functional
+  purpose (:issue:`5066`)
+- Refactoring of IBLT implementation (:issue:`4825`)
+- Various adjustments to match ndn-cxx namespace changes
+- Update waf build system to version 2.0.27
+- Fix building the documentation with Python 3.12 (:issue:`5298`)
+- Miscellanous CI and build improvements
