+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.
