 Coming in build 309, as yet unreleased
 --------------------------------------
 
+* The postinstall script is now available as a console script. You can invoke it in one of two new methods:
+  1. `python -m pywin32_postinstall -install` (recommended)
+  2. `pywin32_postinstall -install` (shorter but you don't have control over which python environment is used)
 * Removed param `hIcon` from `win32comext.shell.ShellExecuteEx`. It was unusable since Windows Vista (#2423, @Avasam)
 * Fixed `nbios.NCBStruct` packing (#2406, @Avasam)
 * Restored axdebug builds on Python 3.10 (#2416, @Avasam)
