-.. 
- Fix for 2 static bodies that are changed to dynamic and are attached to constraints
- Updated the fork of Chipmunk2D used by Pymunk, fixing a number of issues, including maxForce on Spring constaints.
- Added callback functions for DampedSpring and DampedRotarySpring to allow customized force/torque calculations.
+Pymunk 6.8.0 (2024-05-10)
+-------------------------
+
+**Spring improvements**
+
+This release makes the max force property on the two spring constraints work 
+as expected (previosuly it did not have any effect). It is also possible to 
+fully override the force/torque calculation of the springs with new callback.
+Appart from this a collection of fixes in the underlying Chipmunk2D library 
+has been added. Finally its now possible to create static bodies with 
+constraints between them, and then change the bodies to dynamic to "start" 
+simulation of them.
