 The AWS Lambda backend now provides built-in complete platforms for the Python 3.13 runtime.
 
-The Python Build Standalone backend (`pants.backend.python.providers.experimental.python_build_standalone`) now supports filtering PBS releases via their "release tag" via [the new `--python-build-standalone-release-constraints` option](https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.25/reference/subsystems/python-build-standalone-python-provider#release_constraints). THe PBS "known versions" database now contains metadata on all known PBS versions, and not just the latest PBS release tag per Python patchlevel.
+Several improvements to the Python Build Standalone backend (`pants.backend.python.providers.experimental.python_build_standalone`):
 
-Also, the PBS "release tag" will be inferred for PBS releases supplied via the `--python-build-standalone-known-python-versions` option from the given URLs if those URLs conform to the naming convention used by the PBS project. The new advanced option `--python-build-standalone-require-inferrable-release-tag` controls whether Pants requires the tag to be inferrable. This option currently defaults to `False`, but will be migrated to `True` in a future Pants release. (The release tag cannot currently be specified via `--python-build-standalone-known-python-versions` since changing that option would not be a backward compatible change.)

+- The backend will now infer metadata for a PBS release from a given URL if the URL conforms to the naming convention used by the PBS project. The inferred metadata is Python version, PBS release tag, and platform.
+
+- The `--python-build-standalone-known-python-versions` option now accepts a three field format where each value is `SHA256|FILE_SIZE|URL`. All of the PBS release metadata will be parsed from the URL (which must use the naming convention used by the PBS project). (The existing five-field format is still accepted and will now allow the version and platform fields to be blank if that data can be inferred from the URL.)
