 =======
 
 - October 2023: This specification was conditionally approved through :pep:`723`.
+- January 2024: Through amendments to :pep:`723`, the ``pyproject`` metadata
+  block type was renamed to ``script``, and the ``[run]`` table was dropped,
+  making the ``dependencies`` and ``requires-python`` keys
+  top-level. Additionally, the specification is no longer provisional.
