+2.5 Release
+-----------
+This release no longer works with Python versions prior to 3.9 since it
+relies on the new zoneinfo module from the 3.9 standard library, and may
+need the pytz library from PyPI if your system lacks time zone data.
+
+Added support for tornado watches and warnings, as well as fixing some
+bugs which caused certain alerts to fail to be found or to get filtered
+out prior to their intended expiration times. A new command line and
+configuration option for document expiration delay is included,
+defaulting to 1 hour. Data sources have also been updated, including
+2023 census locations. WX weather zone definitions now include time
+zones as well, in case they should become necessary in the future.
+
+2.4 Release
+-----------
+This is planned to be the last release supporting Python 2; starting
+with the 2.5.0 release, this software will only be usable with Python
+3.x.
+
+Refreshed correlation sets and data sources including updating to 2019
+US Census locations and incorporating public domain airport information
+from the wonderful ourairports.com community, stopped using the long
+defunct metar.tbl and zonecatalog.curr.tar files, switched to HTTPS
+protocol since all the URLs had started redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS
+anyway, added functionality for fetching forecasts from HTML pages where
+they're wrapped in preformat tags and included a new forecast zone for
+the Hong Kong Observatory using this, fixed a few bugs when running
+under recent Python 3 versions.
+
+2.3 Release
+-----------
+Fixed a regression in the correlate function which reintroduced the
+wrong (old) URLs for zone-specific data sources, and corrected the
+entries in the zones file accordingly.
+
+2.2 Release
+-----------
+Fixed a bug where the setpath search order was effectively being
+reversed.
+
+Updated correlation data is included based on newer 2015 Census data and
+2016 NWS station and zone lists.
+
+2.1 Release
+-----------
+The old http://weather.noaa.gov/pub site was deprecated and as of August
+23 subsequently removed from service. Correlation data files have been
+updated to use the working http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov URL instead.
+
+Updated correlation data is included based on newer 2014 Census data.
+
+The correlation data rebuilding process has been improved and more
+thoroughly documented.
+
+Radian floats in correlation data are now truncated to 7 decimal places,
+significantly reducing rounding error fuzz against future data file
+updates.
+
+The /etc/weather/weatherrc file mentioned in documentation is now
+properly read.
+
 2.0 Release
 -----------
 The 2.0 release involves a major rewrite of the underlying code and
