-   2022.02.28 - `GHDL v2.0 was released <https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/milestone/10?closed=1>`__
-   ============================================================================================
-
-   2021.02.02 - `GHDL v1.0 was released <https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/milestone/9?closed=1>`__
-   ============================================================================================
-
-   2021.01.31 - GHDL v1.0.0rc1 was tagged
-   ======================================
-
-   * Python bindings were overhauled and renamed to ``pyGHDL``. Three modules are included: ``libghdl``, ``lsp`` and ``dom``.
-
-     * The utility scripts in the codebase were moved into subdir ``scripts``: CI, binding generation, vendors, etc.
-
-   * Repository `ghdl/extended-tests <https://github.com/ghdl/extended-tests>`__ was created for testing `vendors` build scripts.
-
-   * The logo was updated (org, ghdl/ghdl, ghdl/docker and ghdl/ghdl-cosim).
-
-   * Assets are not added to releases or pre-releases anymore. Users should use package managers or nightly assets.
-
-   2020.05.21 - Nightly build assets available
-   ===========================================
-
-   * After each successful CI run of branch ``master``, packages are published as assets of pre-release `nightly <https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/releases/tag/nightly>`__.
-   * GitHub Action `ghdl/setup-ghdl-ci <https://github.com/ghdl/setup-ghdl-ci>`__ was created, to allow easy installation of
-     nightly GHDL assets in GitHub Actions workflows.
-
-   2020.05.09 - New repositories and a wiki were created
-   =====================================================
-
-   * The plugin for Yosys was moved from `tgingold/ghdlsynth-beta <https://github.com/tgingold/ghdlsynth-beta>`__ to
-     `ghdl/ghdl-yosys-plugin <https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl-yosys-plugin>`__.
-   * Repository `ghdl/ghdl-cosim <https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl-cosim>`__ was created. It contains documentation and code
-     examples related to VHPIDIRECT, VPI and SystemC. See :ref:`COSIM` and `Previous work and future ideas <https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl-cosim/issues/1>`__.
-   * A `Wiki <https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/wiki>`__ was created. The roadmap and ideas for documentation and internship
-     programs were moved there. If you want to contribute anyhow, `have a look <https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/wiki>`__!
-
-   2020.02.28 - `GHDL v0.37 was released <https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/milestone/8?closed=1>`__
