 #### Windows
 
-* Python 3.11 or later is now recommended for building LLDB 23 on Windows. From LLDB 24, Python 3.11 or later will be required.
-* Messages from `OutputDebugString[A|W]` are now shown inline when using LLDB
-  from the command-line and in the output window when using lldb-dap.
-* LLDB now uses `lldb-server.exe` to launch and manage the program being debugged,
-  instead of running it within LLDB's own process. To revert to the previous behavior, set the environment variable `LLDB_USE_LLDB_SERVER=0`.
-* Support for PDB symbol servers has been added. By default, no symbol servers are used.
-  You can control this either through the [`_NT_SYMBOL_PATH`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/symbol-path)
-  environment variable or by setting `plugin.symbol-locator.symstore.urls`
-  (see [`plugin.symbol-locator.symstore`](https://lldb.llvm.org/use/settings.html#symstore) for more info).
-* LLDB no longer depends on the Python private API on Windows. Users are now free to
-  use any Python version they want, as long as it is 3.8 or later and LLDB can find it
-  (i.e. it is on their `PATH`).
+* Python 3.11 or later is now required for building LLDB 24 on Windows.
+* For better performance, LLDB now turns off the Windows debug heap by default when debugging.
+  If you need the debug heap enabled, set `platform.plugin.windows.disable-debug-heap` to `false`.
