   uv allows performing [platform-specific resolution](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/resolution/#platform-specific-resolution) for explicit targets and provides short aliases, e.g., `linux`, for common targets.
 
-  Previously, the default target for `--python-platform linux` was `manylinux_2_17`, which is compatible with most Linux distributions from 2014 or newer. We now default to `manylinux_2_28`, which is compatible with most Linux distributions from 2017 or newer.  This change follows the lead of other tools, such as `cibuildwheel`, which changed their default to `manylinux_2_28` in [Mar 2025](https://github.com/pypa/cibuildwheel/pull/2330).
