 We are very pleased to announce the availability of Scala 2.11.7!
 
-[DO NOT MERGE -- INSERT ANNOUNCEMENT HERE FIRST]
+We would like to highlight the following changes:
+
+* The Scala REPL is now easier for projects such as Spark to embed and customize ([PR #4563](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/4563), [SI-7747](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-9181)).
+* Pattern matching is now faster on large numbers of cases ([SI-7747](https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-9181)).
+* Experimental support for Java 8 lambdas is available via `-Ydelambdafy:method` ([more info](https://github.com/scala/make-release-notes/blob/2.11.x/experimental-backend.md)).
+
+Compared to 2.11.6, this release resolves [48 issues](https://issues.scala-lang.org/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20SI%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Fixed%20AND%20fixVersion%20in%20%28%22Scala%202.11.7%22%29%20ORDER%20BY%20component%20ASC%2C%20priority%20DESC). We [merged 124 pull requests](https://github.com/scala/scala/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+milestone%3A2.11.7). Before upgrading, please also check the [known issues](https://issues.scala-lang.org/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20SI%20AND%20status%3Dopen%20AND%20affectedVersion%20%3D%20%22Scala%202.11.7%22%20and%20fixVersion%20%3E%3D%20%22Scala%202.11.7%22%20ORDER%20BY%20component%20ASC%2C%20priority%20DESC) for this release.
+
+As usual for minor releases, Scala 2.11.7 is binary compatible with other releases in the Scala 2.11 series.
+
+2.11 minor releases will continue to be released approximately quarterly, or sooner if prompted by a serious issue.
