+Ranch `2.1.0` has been released!
+
+Ranch 2.1 adds counters for the number of connections
+accepted and terminated. They can be used to produce
+information about accept or shutdown rates or as a
+total number of connections handled by Ranch.
+
+Ranch 2.1 also adds an alarm around the number of
+active connections a connection supervisor handles.
+When that number is high it is now possible to
+automatically perform an action, such as logging
+or gracefully shutting down idle connections.
+
+Starting from Ranch 2.1 the `{inet_backend,socket}`
+option is accepted for TCP listeners. Ranch tests
+now also run with this option enabled. Note that
+there are known issues with the socket backend
+at this time.
+
+We are providing a
+https://github.com/juhlig/prometheus_ranch[Prometheus collector]
+as a separate project as well as a
+https://github.com/juhlig/prometheus_ranch/blob/master/dashboards/ranch-dashboard.json[Grafana dashboard].
+
+Thanks this time go to Jan Uhlig and Maria Scott
+for contributing the alarms and counters as well
+as other improvements that went into this release.
+
+Ranch 2.1 requires Erlang/OTP 22 or above and is tested and supported
+on Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows.
