   actually dropping support, however we strongly encourage all users to upgrade
   their Python, as Python 2.6 no longer receives support from the Python core
   team.
+* Add support for the

+  curve.
 * Fixed compilation when using an OpenSSL which was compiled with the
   ``no-comp`` (``OPENSSL_NO_COMP``) option.
 * Support :attr:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.Encoding.DER`
