+
+## Notes
+
+This release of the Python agent fixes a bug in package reporting and adds support for redis 4.6.0 and loguru 0.7.0.
+
+Install the agent using `easy_install/pip/distribute` via the [Python Package Index](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/newrelic) or download it directly from the [New Relic download site](https://download.newrelic.com/python_agent/release).
+
+## Enhancements
+
+* **Add support for redis 4.6.0**
+Adds instrumentation support for new `waitaof` method.
+
+* **Add support for loguru 0.7.0**
+Adds support for loguru v0.7.0.
+
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+* **Fix reporting of locally scoped packages**
+Previously, locally scoped Python packages (such as those installed into user scope) were not reported on agent connect. This has been fixed.
+
+## Support statement
+
+We recommend updating to the latest agent version as soon as it's available. If you can't upgrade to the latest version, update your agents to a version no more than 90 days old. Read [more](/docs/new-relic-solutions/new-relic-one/install-configure/update-new-relic-agent/) about keeping agents up to date. 
+
+See the New Relic Python agent [EOL policy](/docs/apm/agents/python-agent/getting-started/python-agent-eol-policy/) for information about agent releases and support dates.
