Draft of the 7.2 release notes, at the top of doc/source/changes/7.0.rst (the same file as the 7.1 notes).

7.2 adds wheels for Windows on ARM64 for CPython 3.13 to 3.15. PyPI accepts the files of a release only for 14 days after its first upload, so they could not be added to 7.1.

The section has the changes merged since 7.1:

The Dependabot updates and the CodeQL clean-up of the tests (#855) are not listed. A TODO(R2) comment remains for #863, if it is merged for 7.2, and for the numbers of the follow-up PRs. A TODO(REL) comment remains for the release date.

7.2 adds wheels for Windows on ARM64 for CPython 3.13 to 3.15, which PyPI
did not accept for 7.1 because it takes the files of a release only for 14
days after its first upload. The section also has the changes merged since
7.1: the out-of-sample panel predict options that now raise (#768, #849), the
tests that failed on FreeBSD and the README instructions for running the tests
(#853, #854), and the Windows ARM64 job of the CI. The Dependabot updates and
the CodeQL clean-up of the tests (#855) are not listed.
- Changes that alter results: missing categorical values are missing values
  of their dummy variables, so the observation is dropped (#858); the IV model
  F statistic leaves out an intercept that dummies imply (#859, which does
  not fix the other model families of #780).
- Bug fixes: the IV estimators do not store weighted copies of the data
  when all of the weights are 1 (#862, about a third less memory; the rest of
  #607, keeping float32, is not done).
- Compatibility: Python 3.10 and NumPy 1.x are still supported, although the
  7.1 notes said that 7.1 would be the last release for them. linearmodels 8.0
  will raise the minimum versions, as the README now says too.
- Contributors: jackiectl2, CodingSelim and DresdenGman.
The follow-ups to #858, #859 and #862 (#867, #866, #865) and the Windows ARM64 job of the CI (#868).
