+## [3.9.6.0] - 2022-04-09
+
+### Changed
+
+#### Project Scope
+
+- PEP8 formatting applied and enforced on all Python files.
+
+#### GRC
+
+- New JSON Config and YAML Config blocks that load configuration variables from files at runtime. Those variables may then be used in block parameters.
+- Store the GNU Radio version in flowgraph metadata when saving.
+- Minor change in Python evaluation code to allow `affinity`, `minoutbuf` and `maxoutbuf` to be adjusted via script para
+meters.
+- Show blocks with "deprecated" flags as deprecated.
+- Bug fix: initialize value for "priority" parameter in Python Snippets.
+- Don't blacklist `default` as a flowgraph ID to prevent always starting in an error state
+- 
+#### Runtime
+
+- Add ownership and locking to hier_block2 to avoid crash/freeze after disconnect.
+
+#### gr-analog
+
+- Fix C++ code generation for random_uniform_source
+
+#### gr-blocks
+
+- Add exponential distribution to Message Strobe Random block's `delay` selection.
+- Skip alignment check in File Source when the input file is not seekable (e.g., it is a pipe).
+
+#### gr-filter
+
+- Fix crash in Rational Resampler logging
+- Bug fix: buses should now work with PFB channelizer and synthesizer.
+
+#### gr-trellis
+
+- Provide Python bindings for PCCC Encoder and Viterbi Combo.
+
+#### gr-qtgui
+
+- Improve text/background color on Range widget.
+- Digital Number Control emits message with new, instead of previous, value.
+- Message Edit Box sends message only when return is pressed, rather than whenever focus is lost.
+- Vector Sink allows legend to be disabled.
+- Type error fixes (Python 3.10 is stricter about int casting).
+- Frequency/Waterfall Sinks force power of 2 for fft size
+
+#### gr-uhd
+
+- Correct descriptor names in uhd_fpga_ddc/duc.
+
+#### Code generation tools
+
+- Support strongly-typed enums in Python bindings

 ## [3.9.5.0] - 2022-01-XX
 
 This is an API compatible update to GNU Radio 3.9. Code written for 3.9.X versions should compile and link without modification. The ABI is not guaranteed to be compatible, so a rebuild of OOT modules may be necessary.
