+### v4.0.0rc1
+
+_14 May 2026_
+
+- 🌟 Adds wheel auditing with `abi3audit` as a default after the repair step, with new [`audit-requires`](https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/options/#audit-requires) and [`audit-command`](https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/options/#audit-command) options (#2805)
+- 🌟 Adds `pyemscripten` platform tag support (PEP 783), updates Pyodide to 314.0.0a1, and adds a `pyodide-eol` [`enable`](https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/options/#enable) flag for building end-of-life Pyodide versions (#2812, #2848)
+- 🌟 Sets up `delvewheel` as the default [`repair-wheel-command`](https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/options/#repair-wheel-command) for Windows, so extension module DLLs are now bundled automatically. Skip by setting it to empty if not needed. (#2831)
+- ✨ Adds CPython 3.15 support, under the [`enable` option](https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/options/#enable) `cpython-prerelease`. This version of cibuildwheel uses 3.15.0b1. (#2833, #2850)
+
+    _While CPython is in beta, the ABI can change, so your wheels might not be compatible with the final release. For this reason, we don't recommend distributing wheels until RC1, at which point 3.14 will be available in cibuildwheel without the flag._ (#2390)
+- ✨ Adds `{project}` and `{package}` placeholders to [`config-settings`](https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/options/#config-settings) (#2827)
+- ⚠️ Drops support for Python 3.8 (#2686)
+- ⚠️ Removes the experimental CPython 3.13 free-threading builds and the `cpython-freethreading` [`enable`](https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/options/#enable) option. CPython 3.14+ free-threading support remains available without the enable flag. (#2684)
+- ⚠️ Drops support for Cirrus CI, which is shutting down June 1, 2026 (#2817)
+- 🐛 Fixes `UV_PYTHON` not being set for [`before-build`](https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/options/#before-build) on Linux when using `uv` as the [`build-frontend`](https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/options/#build-frontend) (#2830)
+- 🛠 Updates Android to Python 3.13.13 and 3.14.4 (#2821)
+- 🛠 Applies Pyodide-specific patches to the Emscripten toolchain installation (#2800)
+- 🛠 Updates dependencies and container pins (#2845, #2837, #2821, #2818, #2810, #2838, #2813)
+- 🛠 Uses `python -V -V` for Windows build diagnostics (#2832)
+- 📚 Documents platform-specific [`before-build`](https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/options/#before-build) configuration (#2834)
+- 📚 Updates the "How it works" diagram with details of Android, iOS, and Pyodide builds (#2816)
+- 📚 Adds Pyodide icon and regenerates working examples data for Android, iOS, and Pyodide (#2815, #2811)
+- 📚 Links back to source in docs (#2806)
+- 💼 Adds PEP 723 metadata for `bin/` scripts and drops the `bin` dependency group (#2819)
+- 💼 Updates CI action pins and dev dependencies (#2851, #2843, #2826, #2823, #2820, #2807)
+- 🧪 Fixes Android tests using the `uv` frontend (#2809)
+- 🧪 Fixes the update-dependencies workflow to use `uv` to run `nox` (#2808)
