[Phil Thompson]

SIP v6.17.0 has been released. This includes a new Python API for 
bindings authors that allows SIP to be extended, eg. by adding new 
directives and annotations. The documentation is here...

There has also been a lot of work to develop the support for multiple 
interpreters and free-threading, in particular to aid the porting of 
existing bindings.
