-v2025.07.1 (unreleased)
------------------------
+v2025.07.1 (July 09, 2025)
+--------------------------
+
+This release brings a lot of improvements to flexible indexes functionality, including new classes
+to ease building of new indexes with custom coordinate transforms (:py:class:`indexes.CoordinateTransformIndex`)
+and tree-like index structures (:py:class:`indexes.NDPointIndex`).
+See a `new gallery <https://xarray-indexes.readthedocs.io>`_ showing off the possibilities enabled by flexible indexes.
+
+Thanks to the 7 contributors to this release:
+Benoit Bovy, Deepak Cherian, Dhruva Kumar Kaushal, Dimitri Papadopoulos Orfanos, Illviljan, Justus Magin and Tom Nicholas
 
 New Features
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- New :py:class:`xarray.indexes.NDPointIndex`, which by default uses :py:class:`scipy.spatial.KDTree` under the hood for
+  the selection of irregular, n-dimensional data (:pull:`10478`).
+  By `Benoit Bovy <https://github.com/benbovy>`_.
 - Allow skipping the creation of default indexes when opening datasets (:pull:`8051`).
