+## Version 0.11.3 (2025-04-30)
+
+The 0.11.3 release is a patch release that brings a few bugfixes, migrates the developer tooling to [pixi](https://pixi.sh), and most importantly kicks off a large project - partially [funded by NumFocus](https://opencollective.com/holoviz/projects/holoviz-2024-sdg-r3) - aiming to improve the documentation by adopting the [Diátaxis](https://diataxis.fr/) framework. This release brings a new *Reference* section including a complete API reference, a new *Tutorials* section with a refactored version of the Getting Started and a new tutorial for users coming from Pandas. Many thanks to @Azaya89, @hoxbro, and @maximlt for their contributions!
