+* **Embedded Speech Recognition** - Update support for `PropertyId::Speech_SegmentationSilenceTimeoutMs` setting.
+
+#### Bug fixes
+
+* **General** - Reliability updates in service reconnection logic (all programing languages except JavaScript).
+* **General** - Fix string conversions leaking memory on Windows (all relevant programing languages except JavaScript).
+* **Embedded Speech Recognition** - Fix crash in French Speech Recognition when using certain grammar list entries.
+* **Source code documentation** - Corrections to SDK reference documentation comments related to audio logging on the service.

 ### Speech SDK 1.26.0: March 2023 release
 
-### Breaking changes
+#### Breaking changes
 
-* Bitcode has been disabled in all iOS targets in the following packages: Cocoapod with xcframework, Nuget (for Xamarin and MAUI) and Unity. The change is due to Apple's deprication of bitcode support from Xcode 14 and onwards. This change also means if you are using Xcode 13 version or you have explicitly enabled the bitcode on your application using the Speech SDK, you may encounter an error saying "framework does not contain bitcode and you must rebuild it". To resolve this issue, make sure your targets have bitcode disabled.
