+ACRN v2.5.1 (Aug 2021)
+######################
+
+We are pleased to announce an update release of the Project ACRN hypervisor
+version 2.5.1. This is a maintenance release based off the v2.5 branch that
+provides an update with a few bug fixes and support for Trusted Platform Module
+(TPM) 2.0.
+
+There were no documentation changes in this update, so you can still refer to
+the v2.5-specific documentation found at https://projectacrn.github.io/2.5/.
+
+See the :ref:`release_notes_2.5` release notes for information about the v2.5
+release.
