+# `cuda-bindings` 11.8.6 Release notes
+
+Released on January 24, 2025.
+
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Add an optional dependency on the CUDA NVRTC wheel
+- Enable discovery and loading of shared libraries from CUDA wheels
+- `cuda-python` is now a meta package, currently depending only on `cuda-bindings` ([see RFC](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python/issues/105))
+
+
+## Wheels support for optional dependencies
+
+Optional dependencies are added for packages:
+
+- nvidia-cuda-nvrtc-cu12
+
+Installing these dependencies with `cuda-python` can be done using:
+```{code-block} shell
+pip install cuda-python[all]
+```
+Same applies to `cuda-bindings`.
+
+
+## Discovery and loading of shared library dependencies from wheels
+
+Shared library search paths for wheel builds are now extended to check site-packages. This allows `cuda-python`/`cuda-bindings` to seamlessly use the aforementioned CUDA Toolkit wheels installed in the user's Python environment.
