+## Core Changes
+
+### ChibiOS Update and Config Migration
+
+QMK's ChibiOS and ChibiOS-Contrib submodules have been updated to version 20.3.2.
+
+Along with this, QMK now provides default configuration files for all commonly-supported ARM microcontrollers running on ChibiOS. As such, keyboards are now only required to define settings which differ from the defaults, thereby reducing the size of pull requests for keyboards running atop ChibiOS.
+
+### QMK Infrastructure and Internals
+
+Python is now required to build QMK. The minimum Python version has been increased to 3.7.
+
+The power of `info.json` has been massively expanded. Most keyboard parameters can now be expressed in `info.json` instead of `config.h`/`rules.mk`. This should make maintaining keyboards easier, and will enable tooling that can allow non-technical users to add and maintain QMK keyboards without writing any code.
+
+To ease migration a new command has been provided, `qmk generate-info-json -kb <keyboard>`. You can use this command to generate a complete `info.json` file for a keyboard and then remove the duplicate information from `config.h` and `rules.mk`. 
+
+Detailed example showing how to generate a new info.json and identify duplicate keys:
+
+```
+user@hostname:~/qmk_firmware/keyboards/lets_split:0$ qmk generate-info-json > new-info.json
+user@hostname:~/qmk_firmware/keyboards/lets_split:0$ mv new-info.json info.json
