 - All functions accepting paths can now correctly handle :class:`~pathlib.Path` as input. Historically, we expected strings (instead of "proper" path objects), and only added :class:`~pathlib.Path` support in a few select places, leading to inconsistent behavior. (:gh:`11473` and :gh:`11499` by `Mathieu Scheltienne`_)
 - Fix visualization dialog compatibility with matplotlib 3.7 (:gh:`11409` by `Daniel McCloy`_ and `Eric Larson`_)
 - Expand tilde (user directory) in config keys (:gh:`11537` by `Clemens Brunner`_)
+- Fix :func:`mne.io.read_raw` for file names containing multiple dots (:gh:`11521` by `Clemens Brunner`_)
