+## [2.9.0-rc] - 2024-02-23
+### Release Candidate
+UnityGLTF has been maintained in a fork since the end of 2019.  
+Hundreds of fixes have been made, numerous features have been added, and the library has been brought up-to-speed on latest glTF developments,
+modern material extensions, and Unity versions. We're happy to bring these changes back to the main repository so everyone can benefit.  
+
+UnityGLTF has turned into an extremely versatile glTF exporter _and_ importer, which excellent support for data roundtrips and glTF-first workflows in Unity.  
+
+Please [open an issue](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/UnityGLTF/issues) if you find any problems with the release candidate.
