+### Jython 2.7.3 beta (v2.7.3b1 July 2022)
+
+A beta release is now available for Jython 2.7.3 at [Maven Central](https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.python).
+It is tested against Java 8 and Java 11.
+The project thanks all those who have helped identify and fix bugs.
+
+Notable new or changed features include:
+- The jython command respects the ``PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE`` environment variable.
+
+- Matching of sequence arguments to the parameters of Java methods is
+  improved.
+
+- ``array.array`` item size of unsigned types is now the same as their signed counterparts, where 
+  previously it was mostly double.
+  Internal representations have changed. 
+  Client code that was working around anomalies may have to change (in a good way, we hope).
+  Overall, the experience should be closer to that with CPython.
+
+Many more fixed bugs are listed in [NEWS](https://github.com/jython/jython/blob/v2.7.3b1/NEWS).
