+``cuda-pathfinder`` 1.1.1 Release notes
+========================================
+
+Released on TBD
+
+
+Highlights
+----------
+
+* `RTLD_DI_LINKMAP`-based new implementation of `abs_path_for_dynamic_library()` (`PR #834 <https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python/pull/834>`_)
+  
+  - Eliminates `supported_nvidia_libs.EXPECTED_LIB_SYMBOLS` entirely, providing major simplification
+  - Step towards resolving library discovery issues
+  - Includes minor fixes and cleanup
+
+* Make `add_dll_directory()` and `load_dependencies()` side-effects more deterministic (`PR #855 <https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python/pull/855>`_)
+  
+  - Improves stability in general and supports nvmath specifically
+  - Proactive change to improve library loading consistency
+  - Drops boilerplate docstrings for private functions
