+Announcing PyYAML-6.0.1
+=======================
 
 A new release of PyYAML is now available:
-https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/releases/tag/6.0
+https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/releases/tag/6.0.1
 
-The previously-deprecated default loader selection in `yaml.load()` has
-been removed; `Loader` is now a required argument.
-
-Support for Python 2.7 and 3.5 has been dropped, and support for Python 3.10
-added. It now includes libyaml 0.2.5 extension wheels for MacOS M1
-(Apple Silicon/arm64), Linux s390x and Linux aarch64.
-
-Numerous other bugfixes and code cleanups are included in this release.
+No code changes; update PEP518 build metadata to require Cython < 3.0 until
+packaging code is rewritten for Cython 3.0 compatibility.
