+
+2.13.11 also includes the changes from Scala 2.12.18. (A few of the most significant, such as those involving JDK 20 and 21 compatibility, are listed above.)
+
+For the complete 2.13.11 change lists, see [all merged PRs](https://github.com/scala/scala/pulls?q=is%3Amerged%20milestone%3A2.13.11) and [all closed bugs](https://github.com/scala/bug/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aclosed+milestone%3A2.13.11).
+
+## Known issues
+
+A few regressions have already cropped up:
+
+* Exhaustivity checker emits spurious warning when matching on Java enum type (2.13.11 regression) ([scala/bug#12800](https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/12800))
+* Duplicated `@Deprecated` annotations when implementing deprecated Java interface cause `java.lang.annotation.AnnotationFormatError` when accessed via Java reflection (2.13.11 regression) ([scala/bug#12799](https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/12799))
+
+We'll address these in Scala 2.13.12.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+As usual for our minor releases, Scala 2.13.11 is [binary-compatible](https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/binary-compatibility-of-scala-releases.html) with the whole Scala 2.13 series.
+
+Upgrading from 2.12? Enable `-Xmigration` while upgrading to request migration advice from the compiler.
