-- Changes since rc7:
-
-  - Switched to the PRRTe v3.0 branch.
-  - Many improvements and bugfixes to the one-sided ``UCX`` transport.
-  - Many improvements and bugfixes to ``MPI Sessions``.
-  - MPI-4: Initial implementations of ``MPI_COMM_TYPE_HW_GUIDED`` and ``MPI_COMM_TYPE_HW_GUIDED`` added.
-  - Fixes to singleton/MPI_COMM_SPAWN launching.
-  - Changed the mpirun command line option ``--stream-buffering`` to be an --mca option. It can now be enabled with
-    ``--mca ompi_stream_buffering X`` where X could be 0 for unbuffered, 1 for line buffered, or 2 for fully buffered.
-  - Github: Automatic labeler added to label pull requests with their
-    destination branch. Thanks to Joe Downs for the contribution.
-  - Fixed a deadlock in a one-sided ``RDMA`` function call. Thanks to @jotabf for the fix.
-  - Split out opal-core into two libraries. This will prevent unnecessary external dependencies from being
-    linked with mpirun and other Open MPI tools.
-  - The default atomics have been changed to be GCC, with C11 as a fallback. C11 atomics incurs sequential
-    memory ordering, which in most cases is not desired.
-  - Lots of updates to OpenMPI documentation.
-  - Fixed a bug where users could not build the ``OFI`` component as a DSO. Thanks to Moritz Kreutzer for the report.
-  - Fixed the MPI_Parrived C binding. Thanks to @jprotze for the report.
-  - Configure: Fix typo in CUDA checks. Thanks to Andreas Schwab for the fix.
-  - Fixed bugs when compiling Open MPI with the --enable-script-wrapper-compilers configure option.
-    Thanks to Julien Olivain for the fix.
-  - Include missing sys/stat.h in sharedfp_sm.c to fix a compile error on FreeBSD.
-    Thanks to Mosè Giordano for the fix.
-  - Fixed numerous typos throughout the code base. Thanks to @luzpaz for these fixes.
-  - Removed trailing whitespace from documentation. Thanks to @a-szegel for their
-    contribution.
+- Changes since rc8:
+
+  - Added new ``Accelerator`` gpu framework. ``CUDA`` specific code was replaced with
+    a generic framework that standardizes various device features such as copies or
+    pointer type detection. This allows for modularized implementation of various
+    devices such as the newly introduced ROCm Accelerator component. The redesign
+    also allows for Open MPI builds to be shipped with ``CUDA`` support enabled
+    without requiring ``CUDA`` libraries.
+  - Various bug fixes related to ``MPI Sessions``.
+  - autogen.pl: Fixed ifort support on OSX. Thanks to Tien Quang, NGUYEN
+    for providing the fix.
+  - Initial implementation of ``MPI_COMM_TYPE_HW_UNGUIDED`` for ``MPI_Comm_split_type``.
+  - Fixed a bug where ``MPI_Pack`` and ``MPI_Unpack`` external32 with long doubles
+    could fail. See #8918 for details.
+  - Updated MCA mutexes to use the Qthreads user-level-threading backend. Thanks
+    to Jan Ciesko for the contribution.
+  - Various other bug fixes and cleanups.
 
 - All other notable updates for v5.0.0:
 
-  - Updated PMIx to the ``v4.2`` branch - current hash: ``1f0b53f``.
