+## [2.5.0] - 2021-06-05
+
+Hi everyone!
+
+We have a new VOLK release! We are happy to announce VOLK v2.5.0! We want to thank all contributors. This release wouldn't have been possible without them.
+
+This release adds new kernel implementations and fixes. Some of these were longstanding PRs that could only be merged recently thanks to our switch from CLA to DCO.
+
+### Announcements
+
+I would like to point out one upcoming change. After this release, we will rename our development branch to `main` as discussed in [issue #461](https://github.com/gnuradio/volk/issues/461).
+
+
+I'd like to point the community to this [VOLK relicensing GREP](https://github.com/gnuradio/greps/pull/33).
+This is an ongoing effort to relicense VOLK under LGPLv3.
+We're looking for people and organizations that are interested in leading this effort.
