+## v1.7.0 (2022 Oct 20)
+
+We are excited to announce the feature packed XGBoost 1.7 release. The release note will walk through some of the major new features first, then make a summary for other improvements and language-binding-specific changes.
+
+### PySpark
+
+XGBoost 1.7 features initial support for PySpark integration. The new interface is adapted from the existing PySpark XGBoost interface developed by databricks with additional features like `QuantileDMatrix` and the rapidsai plugin (GPU pipeline) support. The new Spark XGBoost Python estimators not only benefit from PySpark ml facilities for powerful distributed computing but also enjoy the rest of the Python ecosystem. Users can define a custom objective, callbacks, and metrics in Python and use them with this interface on distributed clusters. The support is labeled as experimental with more features to come in future releases. For a brief introduction please visit the tutorial on XGBoost's [document page](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/spark_estimator.html). (#8355, #8344, #8335, #8284, #8271, #8283, #8250, #8231, #8219, #8245, #8217, #8200, #8173, #8172, #8145, #8117, #8131, #8088, #8082, #8085, #8066, #8068, #8067, #8020, #8385)
+
+Due to its initial support status, the new interface has some limitations; categorical features and multi-output models are not yet supported.
+
+### Development of categorical data support
+More progress on the experimental support for categorical features. In 1.7, XGBoost can handle missing values in categorical features and features a new parameter `max_cat_threshold`, which limits the number of categories that can be used in the split evaluation. The parameter is enabled when the partitioning algorithm is used and helps prevent over-fitting. Also, the sklearn interface can now accept the `feature_types` parameter to use data types other than dataframe for categorical features. (#8280, #7821, #8285, #8080, #7948, #7858, #7853, #8212, #7957, #7937, #7934)
+
+
+###  Experimental support for federated learning and new communication collective
+
+An exciting addition to XGBoost is the experimental federated learning support. The federated learning is implemented with a gRPC federated server that aggregates allreduce calls, and federated clients that train on local data and use existing tree methods (approx, hist, gpu_hist). Currently, this only supports horizontal federated learning (samples are split across participants, and each participant has all the features and labels). Future plans include vertical federated learning (features split across participants), and stronger privacy guarantees with homomorphic encryption and differential privacy. See [Demo with NVFlare integration](demo/nvflare/README.md) for example usage with nvflare.
+
+As part of the work, XGBoost 1.7 has replaced the old rabit module with the new collective module as the network communication interface with added support for runtime backend selection. In previous versions, the backend is defined at compile time and can not be changed once built. In this new release, users can choose between `rabit` and `federated.` (#8029, #8351, #8350, #8342, #8340, #8325, #8279, #8181, #8027, #7958, #7831, #7879, #8257, #8316, #8242, #8057, #8203, #8038, #7965, #7930, #7911)
+
+The feature is available in the public PyPI binary package for testing.
+
+### Quantile DMatrix
+Before 1.7, XGBoost has an internal data structure called `DeviceQuantileDMatrix` (and its distributed version). We now extend its support to CPU and renamed it to `QuantileDMatrix`. This data structure is used for optimizing memory usage for the `hist` and `gpu_hist` tree methods. The new feature helps reduce CPU memory usage significantly, especially for dense data. The new `QuantileDMatrix` can be initialized from both CPU and GPU data, and regardless of where the data comes from, the constructed instance can be used by both the CPU algorithm and GPU algorithm including training and prediction (with some overhead of conversion if the device of data and training algorithm doesn't match). Also, a new parameter `ref` is added to `QuantileDMatrix`, which can be used to construct validation/test datasets. Lastly, it's set as default in the scikit-learn interface when a supported tree method is specified by users. (#7889, #7923, #8136, #8215, #8284, #8268, #8220, #8346, #8327, #8130, #8116, #8103, #8094, #8086, #7898, #8060, #8019, #8045, #7901, #7912, #7922)
+
+### Mean absolute error
+The mean absolute error is a new member of the collection of objectives in XGBoost. It's noteworthy since MAE has zero hessian value, which is unusual to XGBoost as XGBoost relies on Newton optimization. Without valid Hessian values, the convergence speed can be slow. As part of the support for MAE, we added line searches into the XGBoost training algorithm to overcome the difficulty of training without valid Hessian values. In the future, we will extend the line search to other objectives where it's appropriate for faster convergence speed. (#8343, #8107, #7812, #8380)
+
+### XGBoost on Browser
+With the help of the [pyodide](https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide) project, you can now run XGBoost on browsers. (#7954, #8369)
+
+### Experimental IPv6 Support for Dask
+
+With the growing adaption of the new internet protocol, XGBoost joined the club. In the latest release, the Dask interface can be used on IPv6 clusters, see XGBoost's Dask tutorial for details. (#8225, #8234)
+
+### Optimizations
+We have new optimizations for both the `hist` and `gpu_hist` tree methods to make XGBoost's training even more efficient.
+
+* Hist
+Hist now supports optional by-column histogram build, which is automatically configured based on various conditions of input data. This helps the XGBoost CPU hist algorithm to scale better with different shapes of training datasets. (#8233, #8259). Also, the build histogram kernel now can better utilize CPU registers (#8218)
+
+* GPU Hist
+GPU hist performance is significantly improved for wide datasets. GPU hist now supports batched node build, which reduces kernel latency and increases throughput. The improvement is particularly significant when growing deep trees with the default ``depthwise`` policy. (#7919, #8073, #8051, #8118, #7867, #7964, #8026)
+
+### Breaking Changes
+Breaking changes made in the 1.7 release are summarized below.
+- The  `grow_local_histmaker`  updater is removed. This updater is rarely used in practice and has no test. We decided to remove it and focus have XGBoot focus on other more efficient algorithms. (#7992, #8091)
+- Single precision histogram is removed due to its lack of accuracy caused by significant floating point error. In some cases the error can be difficult to detect due to log-scale operations, which makes the parameter dangerous to use. (#7892, #7828)
+- Deprecated CUDA architectures are no longer supported in the release binaries. (#7774)
+- As part of the federated learning development, the `rabit` module is replaced with the new `collective` module. It's a drop-in replacement with added runtime backend selection, see the federated learning section for more details (#8257)
+
+### General new features and improvements
+Before diving into package-specific changes, some general new features other than those listed at the beginning are summarized here.
+* Users of `DMatrix` and `QuantileDMatrix` can get the data from XGBoost. In previous versions, only getters for meta info like labels are available. The new method is available in Python (`DMatrix::get_data`) and C. (#8269, #8323)
+* In previous versions, the GPU histogram tree method may generate phantom gradient for missing values due to floating point error. We fixed such an error in this release and XGBoost is much better equated to handle floating point errors when training on GPU. (#8274, #8246)
+* Parameter validation is no longer experimental. (#8206)
+* C pointer parameters and JSON parameters are vigorously checked. (#8254, #8254)
+* Improved handling of JSON model input. (#7953, #7918)
+* Support IBM i OS (#7920, #8178)
+
+### Fixes
+Some noteworthy bug fixes that are not related to specific language binding are listed in this section.
+* Rename misspelled config parameter for pseudo-Huber (#7904)
+* Fix feature weights with nested column sampling. (#8100)
+* Fix loading DMatrix binary in distributed env. (#8149)
+* Force auc.cc to be statically linked for unusual compiler platforms. (#8039)
+* New logic for detecting libomp on macos (#8384).
+
+### Python Package
+* Python 3.8 is now the minimum required Python version. (#8071)
+* More progress on type hint support. Except for the new PySpark interface, the XGBoost module is fully typed. (#7742, #7945, #8302, #7914, #8052)
+* XGBoost now validates the feature names in `inplace_predict`, which also affects the predict function in scikit-learn estimators as it uses `inplace_predict` internally. (#8359)
+* Users can now get the data from `DMatrix` using `DMatrix::get_data` or `QuantileDMatrix::get_data`.
+* Show `libxgboost.so` path in build info. (#7893)
+* Raise import error when using the sklearn module while scikit-learn is missing. (#8049)
+* Use `config_context` in the sklearn interface. (#8141)
+* Validate features for inplace prediction. (#8359)
+* Pandas dataframe handling is refactored to reduce data fragmentation. (#7843)
+* Support more pandas nullable types (#8262)
+* Remove pyarrow workaround. (#7884)
+
+* Binary wheel size
+We aim to enable as many features as possible in XGBoost's default binary distribution on PyPI (package installed with pip), but there's a upper limit on the size of the binary wheel. In 1.7, XGBoost reduces the size of the wheel by pruning unused CUDA architectures. (#8179, #8152, #8150)
+
+* Fixes
+  Some noteworthy fixes are listed here:
+  - Fix the Dask interface with the latest cupy. (#8210)
+  - Check cuDF lazily to avoid potential errors with cuda-python. (#8084)
+* Fix potential error in DMatrix constructor on 32-bit platform. (#8369)
+
+* Maintenance work
+  - Linter script is moved from dmlc-core to XGBoost with added support for formatting, mypy, and parallel run, along with some fixes (#7967, #8101, #8216)
+  - We now require the use of `isort` and `black` for selected files. (#8137, #8096)
+  - Code cleanups. (#7827)
+  - Deprecate `use_label_encoder` in XGBClassifier. The label encoder has already been deprecated and removed in the previous version. These changes only affect the indicator parameter (#7822)
+  - Remove the use of distutils. (#7770)
+  - Refactor and fixes for tests (#8077, #8064, #8078, #8076, #8013, #8010, #8244, #7833)
+
+* Documents
+  - [dask] Fix potential error in demo. (#8079)
+  - Improved documentation for the ranker. (#8356, #8347)
+  - Indicate lack of py-xgboost-gpu on Windows (#8127)
+  - Clarification for feature importance. (#8151)
+  - Simplify Python getting started example (#8153)
+
+### R Package
+We summarize improvements for the R package briefly here:
+* Feature info including names and types are now passed to DMatrix in preparation for categorical feature support. (#804)
+* XGBoost 1.7 can now gracefully load old R models from RDS for better compatibility with 3-party tuning libraries (#7864)
+* The R package now can be built with parallel compilation, along with fixes for warnings in CRAN tests. (#8330)
+* Emit error early if DiagrammeR is missing (#8037)
+* Fix R package Windows build. (#8065)
+
+### JVM Packages
+The consistency between JVM packages and other language bindings is greatly improved in 1.7, improvements range from model serialization format to the default value of hyper-parameters.
+
+* Java package now supports feature names and feature types for DMatrix in preparation for categorical feature support. (#7966)
+* Models trained by the JVM packages can now be safely used with other language bindings. (#7896, #7907)
+* Users can specify the model format when saving models with a stream. (#7940, #7955)
+* The default value for training parameters is now sourced from XGBoost directly, which helps JVM packages be consistent with other packages. (#7938)
+* Set the correct objective if the user doesn't explicitly set it (#7781)
+* Auto-detection of MUSL is replaced by system properties (#7921)
+* Improved error message for launching tracker. (#7952, #7968)
+* Fix a race condition in parameter configuration. (#8025)
+* [Breaking] ` timeoutRequestWorkers` is now removed. With the support for barrier mode, this parameter is no longer needed. (#7839)
+* Dependencies updates. (#7791, #8157, #7801, #8240)
+
+### Documents
+- Document for the C interface is greatly improved and is now displayed at the [sphinx document page](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/c.html). Thanks to the breathe project, you can view the C API just like the Python API. (#8300)
+- We now avoid having XGBoost internal text parser in demos and recommend users use dedicated libraries for loading data whenever it's feasible. (#7753)
+- Python survival training demos are now displayed at [sphinx gallery](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python/survival-examples/index.html). (#8328)
+- Some typos, links, format, and grammar fixes. (#7800, #7832, #7861, #8099, #8163, #8166, #8229, #8028, #8214, #7777, #7905, #8270, #8309, d70e59fef, #7806)
+- Updated winning solution under readme.md (#7862)
+- New security policy. (#8360)
+- GPU document is overhauled as we consider CUDA support to be feature-complete. (#8378)
+
+### Maintenance
+* Code refactoring and cleanups. (#7850, #7826, #7910, #8332, #8204)
+* Reduce compiler warnings. (#7768, #7916, #8046, #8059, #7974, #8031, #8022)
+* Compiler workarounds. (#8211, #8314, #8226, #8093)
+* Dependencies update. (#8001, #7876, #7973, #8298, #7816)
+* Remove warnings emitted in previous versions. (#7815)
+* Small fixes occurred during development. (#8008)
+
+### CI and Tests
+* We overhauled the CI infrastructure to reduce the CI cost and lift the maintenance burdens. Jenkins is replaced with buildkite for better automation, with which, finer control of test runs is implemented to reduce overall cost. Also, we refactored some of the existing tests to reduce their runtime, drooped the size of docker images, and removed multi-GPU C++ tests. Lastly, `pytest-timeout` is added as an optional dependency for running Python tests to keep the test time in check. (#7772, #8291, #8286, #8276, #8306, #8287, #8243, #8313, #8235, #8288, #8303, #8142, #8092, #8333, #8312, #8348)

+
+## v1.6.0 (2022 Apr 16)
+
+After a long period of development, XGBoost v1.6.0 is packed with many new features and
+improvements. We summarize them in the following sections starting with an introduction to
+some major new features, then moving on to language binding specific changes including new
+features and notable bug fixes for that binding.
+
+### Development of categorical data support
+This version of XGBoost features new improvements and full coverage of experimental
+categorical data support in Python and C package with tree model.  Both `hist`, `approx`
+and `gpu_hist` now support training with categorical data.  Also, partition-based
+categorical split is introduced in this release. This split type is first available in
+LightGBM in the context of gradient boosting. The previous XGBoost release supported one-hot split where the splitting criteria is of form `x \in {c}`, i.e. the categorical feature `x` is tested against a single candidate. The new release allows for more expressive conditions: `x \in S` where the categorical feature `x` is tested against multiple candidates. Moreover, it is now possible to use any tree algorithms (`hist`, `approx`, `gpu_hist`) when creating categorical splits. For more
+information, please see our tutorial on [categorical
+data](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/categorical.html), along with
+examples linked on that page. (#7380, #7708, #7695, #7330, #7307, #7322, #7705,
+#7652, #7592, #7666, #7576, #7569, #7529, #7575, #7393, #7465, #7385, #7371, #7745, #7810)
+
+In the future, we will continue to improve categorical data support with new features and
+optimizations. Also, we are looking forward to bringing the feature beyond Python binding,
+contributions and feedback are welcomed! Lastly, as a result of experimental status, the
+behavior might be subject to change, especially the default value of related
+hyper-parameters.
+
+### Experimental support for multi-output model
+
+XGBoost 1.6 features initial support for the multi-output model, which includes
+multi-output regression and multi-label classification. Along with this, the XGBoost
+classifier has proper support for base margin without to need for the user to flatten the
+input. In this initial support, XGBoost builds one model for each target similar to the
+sklearn meta estimator, for more details, please see our [quick
+introduction](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/multioutput.html).
+
+(#7365, #7736, #7607, #7574, #7521, #7514, #7456, #7453, #7455, #7434, #7429, #7405, #7381)
+
+### External memory support
+External memory support for both approx and hist tree method is considered feature
+complete in XGBoost 1.6.  Building upon the iterator-based interface introduced in the
+previous version, now both `hist` and `approx` iterates over each batch of data during
+training and prediction.  In previous versions, `hist` concatenates all the batches into
+an internal representation, which is removed in this version.  As a result, users can
+expect higher scalability in terms of data size but might experience lower performance due
+to disk IO. (#7531, #7320, #7638, #7372)
+
+### Rewritten approx
+
+The `approx` tree method is rewritten based on the existing `hist` tree method. The
+rewrite closes the feature gap between `approx` and `hist` and improves the performance.
+Now the behavior of `approx` should be more aligned with `hist` and `gpu_hist`. Here is a
+list of user-visible changes:
+
+- Supports both `max_leaves` and `max_depth`.
+- Supports `grow_policy`.
+- Supports monotonic constraint.
+- Supports feature weights.
+- Use `max_bin` to replace `sketch_eps`.
+- Supports categorical data.
+- Faster performance for many of the datasets.
+- Improved performance and robustness for distributed training.
+- Supports prediction cache.
+- Significantly better performance for external memory when `depthwise` policy is used.
+
+### New serialization format
+Based on the existing JSON serialization format, we introduce UBJSON support as a more
+efficient alternative. Both formats will be available in the future and we plan to
+gradually [phase out](https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/issues/7547) support for the old
+binary model format.  Users can opt to use the different formats in the serialization
+function by providing the file extension `json` or `ubj`. Also, the `save_raw` function in
+all supported languages bindings gains a new parameter for exporting the model in different
+formats, available options are `json`, `ubj`, and `deprecated`, see document for the
+language binding you are using for details. Lastly, the default internal serialization
+format is set to UBJSON, which affects Python pickle and R RDS. (#7572, #7570, #7358,
+#7571, #7556, #7549, #7416)
+
+### General new features and improvements
+Aside from the major new features mentioned above, some others are summarized here:
+
+* Users can now access the build information of XGBoost binary in Python and C
+  interface. (#7399, #7553)
+* Auto-configuration of `seed_per_iteration` is removed, now distributed training should
+  generate closer results to single node training when sampling is used. (#7009)
+* A new parameter `huber_slope` is introduced for the `Pseudo-Huber` objective.
+* During source build, XGBoost can choose cub in the system path automatically. (#7579)
+* XGBoost now honors the CPU counts from CFS, which is usually set in docker
+  environments. (#7654, #7704)
+* The metric `aucpr` is rewritten for better performance and GPU support. (#7297, #7368)
+* Metric calculation is now performed in double precision. (#7364)
+* XGBoost no longer mutates the global OpenMP thread limit. (#7537, #7519, #7608, #7590,
+  #7589, #7588, #7687)
+* The default behavior of `max_leave` and `max_depth` is now unified (#7302, #7551).
+* CUDA fat binary is now compressed. (#7601)
+* Deterministic result for evaluation metric and linear model. In previous versions of
+  XGBoost, evaluation results might differ slightly for each run due to parallel reduction
+  for floating-point values, which is now addressed. (#7362, #7303, #7316, #7349)
+* XGBoost now uses double for GPU Hist node sum, which improves the accuracy of
+  `gpu_hist`. (#7507)
+
+### Performance improvements
+Most of the performance improvements are integrated into other refactors during feature
+developments. The `approx` should see significant performance gain for many datasets as
+mentioned in the previous section, while the `hist` tree method also enjoys improved
+performance with the removal of the internal `pruner` along with some other
+refactoring. Lastly, `gpu_hist` no longer synchronizes the device during training. (#7737)
+
+### General bug fixes
+This section lists bug fixes that are not specific to any language binding.
+* The `num_parallel_tree` is now a model parameter instead of a training hyper-parameter,
+  which fixes model IO with random forest. (#7751)
+* Fixes in CMake script for exporting configuration. (#7730)
+* XGBoost can now handle unsorted sparse input. This includes text file formats like
+  libsvm and scipy sparse matrix where column index might not be sorted. (#7731)
+* Fix tree param feature type, this affects inputs with the number of columns greater than
+  the maximum value of int32. (#7565)
+* Fix external memory with gpu_hist and subsampling. (#7481)
+* Check the number of trees in inplace predict, this avoids a potential segfault when an
+  incorrect value for `iteration_range` is provided. (#7409)
+* Fix non-stable result in cox regression (#7756)
+
+### Changes in the Python package
+Other than the changes in Dask, the XGBoost Python package gained some new features and
+improvements along with small bug fixes.
+
+* Python 3.7 is required as the lowest Python version. (#7682)
+* Pre-built binary wheel for Apple Silicon. (#7621, #7612, #7747) Apple Silicon users will
+  now be able to run `pip install xgboost` to install XGBoost.
+* MacOS users no longer need to install `libomp` from Homebrew, as the XGBoost wheel now
+  bundles `libomp.dylib` library.
+* There are new parameters for users to specify the custom metric with new
+  behavior. XGBoost can now output transformed prediction values when a custom objective is
+  not supplied.  See our explanation in the
+  [tutorial](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/custom_metric_obj.html#reverse-link-function)
+  for details.
+* For the sklearn interface, following the estimator guideline from scikit-learn, all
+  parameters in `fit` that are not related to input data are moved into the constructor
+  and can be set by `set_params`. (#6751, #7420, #7375, #7369)
+* Apache arrow format is now supported, which can bring better performance to users'
+  pipeline (#7512)
+* Pandas nullable types are now supported (#7760)
+* A new function `get_group` is introduced for `DMatrix` to allow users to get the group
+  information in the custom objective function. (#7564)
+* More training parameters are exposed in the sklearn interface instead of relying on the
+  `**kwargs`. (#7629)
+* A new attribute `feature_names_in_` is defined for all sklearn estimators like
+  `XGBRegressor` to follow the convention of sklearn. (#7526)
+* More work on Python type hint. (#7432, #7348, #7338, #7513, #7707)
+* Support the latest pandas Index type. (#7595)
+* Fix for Feature shape mismatch error on s390x platform (#7715)
+* Fix using feature names for constraints with multiple groups (#7711)
+* We clarified the behavior of the callback function when it contains mutable
+  states. (#7685)
+* Lastly, there are some code cleanups and maintenance work. (#7585, #7426, #7634, #7665,
+  #7667, #7377, #7360, #7498, #7438, #7667, #7752, #7749, #7751)
+
+### Changes in the Dask interface
+* Dask module now supports user-supplied host IP and port address of scheduler node.
+  Please see [introduction](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/dask.html#troubleshooting) and
+  [API document](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python/python_api.html#optional-dask-configuration)
+  for reference. (#7645, #7581)
+* Internal `DMatrix` construction in dask now honers thread configuration. (#7337)
+* A fix for `nthread` configuration using the Dask sklearn interface. (#7633)
+* The Dask interface can now handle empty partitions.  An empty partition is different
+  from an empty worker, the latter refers to the case when a worker has no partition of an
+  input dataset, while the former refers to some partitions on a worker that has zero
+  sizes. (#7644, #7510)
+* Scipy sparse matrix is supported as Dask array partition. (#7457)
+* Dask interface is no longer considered experimental. (#7509)
+
+### Changes in the R package
+This section summarizes the new features, improvements, and bug fixes to the R package.
+
+* `load.raw` can optionally construct a booster as return. (#7686)
+* Fix parsing decision stump, which affects both transforming text representation to data
+  table and plotting. (#7689)
+* Implement feature weights. (#7660)
+* Some improvements for complying the CRAN release policy. (#7672, #7661, #7763)
+* Support CSR data for predictions (#7615)
+* Document update (#7263, #7606)
+* New maintainer for the CRAN package (#7691, #7649)
+* Handle non-standard installation of toolchain on macos (#7759)
+
+### Changes in JVM-packages
+Some new features for JVM-packages are introduced for a more integrated GPU pipeline and
+better compatibility with musl-based Linux. Aside from this, we have a few notable bug
+fixes.
+
+* User can specify the tracker IP address for training, which helps running XGBoost on
+  restricted network environments. (#7808)
+* Add support for detecting musl-based Linux (#7624)
+* Add `DeviceQuantileDMatrix` to Scala binding (#7459)
+* Add Rapids plugin support, now more of the JVM pipeline can be accelerated by RAPIDS (#7491, #7779, #7793, #7806)
+* The setters for CPU and GPU are more aligned (#7692, #7798)
+* Control logging for early stopping (#7326)
+* Do not repartition when nWorker = 1 (#7676)
+* Fix the prediction issue for `multi:softmax` (#7694)
+* Fix for serialization of custom objective and eval (#7274)
+* Update documentation about Python tracker (#7396)
+* Remove jackson from dependency, which fixes CVE-2020-36518. (#7791)
+* Some refactoring to the training pipeline for better compatibility between CPU and
+  GPU. (#7440, #7401, #7789, #7784)
+* Maintenance work. (#7550, #7335, #7641, #7523, #6792, #4676)
+
+### Deprecation
+Other than the changes in the Python package and serialization, we removed some deprecated
+features in previous releases. Also, as mentioned in the previous section, we plan to
+phase out the old binary format in future releases.
+
+* Remove old warning in 1.3 (#7279)
+* Remove label encoder deprecated in 1.3. (#7357)
+* Remove old callback deprecated in 1.3. (#7280)
+* Pre-built binary will no longer support deprecated CUDA architectures including sm35 and
+  sm50. Users can continue to use these platforms with source build. (#7767)
+
+### Documentation
+This section lists some of the general changes to XGBoost's document, for language binding
+specific change please visit related sections.
+
+* Document is overhauled to use the new RTD theme, along with integration of Python
+  examples using Sphinx gallery. Also, we replaced most of the hard-coded URLs with sphinx
+  references. (#7347, #7346, #7468, #7522, #7530)
+* Small update along with fixes for broken links, typos, etc. (#7684, #7324, #7334, #7655,
+  #7628, #7623, #7487, #7532, #7500, #7341, #7648, #7311)
+* Update document for GPU. [skip ci] (#7403)
+* Document the status of RTD hosting. (#7353)
+* Update document for building from source. (#7664)
+* Add note about CRAN release [skip ci] (#7395)
+
+### Maintenance
+This is a summary of maintenance work that is not specific to any language binding.
+
+* Add CMake option to use /MD runtime (#7277)
+* Add clang-format configuration. (#7383)
+* Code cleanups (#7539, #7536, #7466, #7499, #7533, #7735, #7722, #7668, #7304, #7293,
+  #7321, #7356, #7345, #7387, #7577, #7548, #7469, #7680, #7433, #7398)
+* Improved tests with better coverage and latest dependency (#7573, #7446, #7650, #7520,
