 ## Unreleased
 
+## [0.11.1] - 2026/04/02
+
 ### Fixed
 
 - Fixed content-type header parsing to handle PyPI mirrors that include charset parameters.
   This improves compatibility with mirrors that return headers like `application/json; charset=utf-8`.
   [#261](https://github.com/pyodide/micropip/pull/261)
 
+### Changed
+
+- micropip now accepts `pyemscripten` platform wheels in addition to `pyodide` platform wheels,
+  following the PEP 783 standard.
+  [#270](https://github.com/pyodide/micropip/pull/270)

 ## [0.11.0] - 2025/10/18
