+Bug fixes - 1.6.3
+=================
+- Treat specs with dot-only version components, such as ``python.``, as literal executable paths instead of raising
+  ``IndexError`` - by :user:`harbinresearcher`. (:issue:`147`)
+- Pass PEP 514 ``ExecutableArguments`` to registered Windows interpreters when querying them, so a registration that
+  points at a launcher such as ``py.exe -3.11`` reports the interpreter it selects - by :user:`blouirts123`.
+  (:issue:`148`)
