-Unreleased changes. Release notes have not yet been written.
+ripgrep 15 is a new major version release of ripgrep that mostly has bug fixes,
+some minor performance improvements and minor new features. Here are some
+highlights:
+
+* Several bugs around gitignore matching have been fixed. This includes
+  a commonly reported bug related to applying gitignore rules from parent
+  directories.
+* A memory usage regression when handling very large gitignore files has been
+  fixed.
+* `rg -vf file`, where `file` is empty, now matches everything.
+* The `-r/--replace` flag now works with `--json`.
+* A subset of Jujutsu (`jj`) repositories are now treated as if they were git
+  repositories. That is, ripgrep will respect `jj`'s gitignores.
+* Globs can now use nested curly braces.
+
+Platform support:
+
+* `aarch64` for Windows now has release artifacts.
+* `powerpc64` no longer has release artifacts generated for it. The CI
+  release workflow stopped working, and I didn't deem it worth my time to
+  debug it. If someone wants this and can test it, I'd be happy to add it
+  back.
+* ripgrep binaries are now compiled with full LTO enabled. You may notice
+  small performance improvements from this and a modest decrease in binary
+  size.
