 ### Added

+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed issue where viewing a `NetworkBehaviour` with one or more `NetworkVariable` fields could throw an exception if running a distributed authority network topology with a local (DAHost) host and viewed on the host when the host is not the authority of the associated `NetworkObject`. (#3578)
+- Fixed issue when using a distributed authority network topology and  viewing a `NetworkBehaviour` with one or more `NetworkVariable` fields in the inspector view would not show editable fields. (#3578)

+### Changed

+## [2.5.0] - 2025-08-01
+
+### Added
+
 - Added serializer for `Pose` (#3546)
 - Added methods `GetDefaultNetworkSettings` and `GetDefaultPipelineConfigurations` to `UnityTransport`. These can be used to retrieve the default settings and pipeline stages that are used by `UnityTransport`. This is useful when providing a custom driver constructor through `UnityTransport.s_DriverConstructor`, since it allows reusing or tuning the existing configuration instead of trying to recreate it. This means a transport with a custom driver can now easily benefit from most of the features of `UnityTransport`, like integration with the Network Simulator and Network Profiler from the multiplayer tools package. (#3501)
 - Added mappings between `ClientId` and `TransportId`. (#3516)
