+## v7.3.0
+This release comes with the following three major enhancements:
+
+### 1. Support for VMRay sandbox analysis archives
+Unlock powerful malware analysis with capa's new [VMRay sandbox](https://www.vmray.com/) integration! Simply provide a VMRay analysis archive, and capa will automatically extract and match capabilities to streamline your workflow. This is the second support for the analysis of dynamic analysis results after [CAPE](https://www.mandiant.com/resources/blog/dynamic-capa-executable-behavior-cape-sandbox).
+
+### 2. Support for BinExport files generated by Ghidra
+[BinExport](https://github.com/google/binexport) files store disassembled data into a Protocol Buffer format. capa now supports the analysis of BinExport files generated by Ghidra. Using Ghidra and the BinExport file format users can now analyze ARM (AARCH64) ELF files targeting Android.
+
+### 3. Introducing the capa rules website
+You can now browse capa's default rule set at https://mandiant.github.io/capa/rules. In modern terminals the CLI capa tool hyperlinks to resources on the web, including entries on the capa rules website.
+Furthermore, https://mandiant.github.io/capa provides a landing page for the capa tool project.
+
+### Additional updates
+- [capa Explorer Web](https://mandiant.github.io/capa/explorer/) received several enhancements and bug fixes.
+- Support for the IDA Pro 9.0 IDAPython API while keeping compatibility to older IDA Pro versions
+- Six rules have been added and two rules have been updated
+
+Thanks to @r-sm2024 for their contribution in https://github.com/mandiant/capa/pull/2155 and their further work. And of course a big thanks to the community for reporting issues, participating in discussions, and supporting the capa tool and capa rules.

-### v7.2.0
+## v7.2.0
 capa v7.2.0 introduces a first version of capa explorer web: a web-based user interface to inspect capa results using your browser. Users can inspect capa result JSON documents in an online web instance or a standalone HTML page for offline usage. capa explorer supports interactive exploring of capa results to make it easier to understand them. Users can filter, sort, and see the details of all identified capabilities. capa explorer web was worked on by @s-ff as part of a [GSoC project](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2024/projects/cR3hjbsq), and it is available at https://mandiant.github.io/capa/explorer/#/.
 
 This release also adds a feature extractor for output from the DRAKVUF sandbox. Now, analysts can pass the resulting `drakmon.log` file to capa and extract capabilities from the artifacts captured by the sandbox. This feature extractor will also be added to the DRAKVUF sandbox as a post-processing script, and it was worked on by @yelhamer as part of a [GSoC project](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2024/projects/fCnBGuEC).
