+2.28.0 (2022-06-09)
+-------------------

+- Requests has officially dropped support for Python 3.6 (including pypy3.6). (#6091)
+
+**Improvements**
+
+- Wrap JSON parsing issues in Request's JSONDecodeError for payloads without
+  an encoding to make `json()` API consistent. (#6097)
+- Parse header components consistently, raising an InvalidHeader error in
+  all invalid cases. (#6154)
+- Added provisional 3.11 support with current beta build. (#6155)
+- Requests got a makeover and we decided to paint it black. (#6095)
+
+**Bugfixes**
+
+- Fixed bug where setting `CURL_CA_BUNDLE` to an empty string would disable
+  cert verification. All Requests 2.x versions before 2.28.0 are affected. (#6074)
+- Fixed urllib3 exception leak, wrapping `urllib3.exceptions.SSLError` with
+  `requests.exceptions.SSLError` for `content` and `iter_content`. (#6057)
+- Fixed issue where invalid Windows registry entires caused proxy resolution
+  to raise an exception rather than ignoring the entry. (#6149)
+- Fixed issue where entire payload could be included in the error message for
+  JSONDecodeError. (#6036)
