+
+=== Improvements
+* https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/JCBC-2050[JCBC-2050]:
+Coordinates in Full-Text Search geographic queries can now be specified using a staged builder, so it's harder to accidentally swap the latitude and longitude components. Example usage:
+```
+Coordinate eiffelTower = Coordinate.lat(48.858093).lon(2.294694);
+```
+Or, if you prefer to specify longitude first:
+```
+Coordinate eiffelTower = Coordinate.lon(2.294694).lat(48.858093);
+```
+* https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/JVMCBC-1237[JVMCBC-1237]:
+Added "network" as an alias for the "io.networkResolution" connection string parameter.
+For example, the connection string "couchbase://example.com?network=external" is now equivalent to "couchbase://example.com?io.networkResolution=external".
+This was done for compatibility with other Couchbase SDKs that use "network" as the name of this parameter.
+
+=== Bugs
+* https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/JVMCBC-1232[JVMCBC-1232]:
+`Cluster.connect()` now rejects connection strings that have no addresses (like "couchbase://").
+Before this change, it would accept the invalid connection string, and subsequent operations would fail with a misleading error message: "The cluster does not support cluster-level queries".
+* https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/JVMCBC-1234[JVMCBC-1234]:
+Fixed a regression in Java SDK 3.4.3 and Scala SDK 1.4.3 that caused SQL++ query result metadata to always include metrics, regardless of the "metrics" query option.

 == Version 3.4.3 (9 February 2023)
