 ## libMesh-level Changes
 
+### `2024.10.17` Update
+
+- Support for reading (the surface triangulations defined by) STL
+  files.  This combined with our recent tetrahedralization support
+  also allows for creating volume meshes from STL files; however,
+  creating high-quality volume meshes from arbitrary STL files is
+  still a work in progress.
+- Support for higher-order (up to quintic) vector-valued FE bases in
+  the Nédélec (first kind) and Ravier-Thomas FE families.
+- Better handling for odd IsoGeometric Analysis extraction operators,
+  and better error handling for broken IGA operators.
+- Better unit test coverage for NodeElem; fixes to NodeElem
+  methods which should be no-op but instead threw errors.
+- Unit test coverage for fifth-order `MONOMIAL` elements.  So far
+  new tests have not uncovered any problems, but based on user
+  reports of convergence issues we recommend limiting `MONOMIAL`
+  variables to fourth-order.
+- Fixes for condensed eigensolve support after mesh reinit
+- Fixes for caching of FE data on sides of meshes with non-uniform
+  p-refinement levels
+- Minor fixes for compiler complaints from `nvc++` and
+  `clang++ -fsanitize`
+- Properly register `--keep-cout` and `--drop-cerr` warnings with
+  PETSc to avoid "options you set that were not used" false positives.
+- Better error messages when tetrahedralizing a non-watertight input
+  boundary mesh.
+- Refactoring in AbaqusIO, to enable subclasses in MOOSE code with
+  experimental support for more advanced file features.
+- Improvements and fixes in Reduced Basis code, particularly the
+  Empirical Interpolation Method classes.
