+## Mypy 1.15 (Unreleased)
+
+We’ve just uploaded mypy 1.15 to the Python Package Index ([PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/mypy/)).
+Mypy is a static type checker for Python. This release includes new features and bug fixes.
+You can install it as follows:
+
+    python3 -m pip install -U mypy
+
+You can read the full documentation for this release on [Read the Docs](http://mypy.readthedocs.io).
+
+### Performance Improvements
 
 Mypy may be 5-30% faster. This improvement comes largely from tuning the performance of the
-garbage collector.
+garbage collector. Additionally, the release includes several micro-optimizations that may be
+impactful for very large projects.
