-==== Behavioral Changes
-
+===== Bug Fixes
 
+* https://couchbasecloud.atlassian.net/browse/JVMCBC-1687[JVMCBC-1687]:
+Fixed `DelegatingAuthenticator` to work with Protostellar.
+* https://couchbasecloud.atlassian.net/browse/JVMCBC-1696[JVMCBC-1696]:
+The client no longer makes bucketful KV connections to nodes that aren't hosting the bucket, ensuring that unconnected endpoints don't cause SDC health check to fail.
+* https://couchbasecloud.atlassian.net/browse/JVMCBC-1697[JVMCBC-1697]:
+Fixed a problem that caused the SDK to use more bandwidth than necessary when polling Couchbase Server 7.6 and later, for cluster topology updates when the topology is in a steady state.
 
+===== Improvements
 
+* https://couchbasecloud.atlassian.net/browse/JVMCBC-1693[JVMCBC-1693]:
+The SDK now tracks server cluster topology changes more efficiently, and no longer sends redundant “get topology” requests during failover and rebalance.
+* https://couchbasecloud.atlassian.net/browse/JVMCBC-1699[JVMCBC-1699]:
+If the bootstrap address resolution task does not complete before the cluster is disconnected, the task now terminates gracefully instead of logging a scary warning.
+* https://couchbasecloud.atlassian.net/browse/JVMCBC-1700[JVMCBC-1700]:
+Upgraded to `Jackson` `2.20.1`.
+* https://couchbasecloud.atlassian.net/browse/JVMCBC-1704[JVMCBC-1704]:
+Upgraded `Netty` from `4.1.127` to `4.1.128`.
 
+===== New Features
 
+* https://couchbasecloud.atlassian.net/browse/JVMCBC-1679[JVMCBC-1679]:
+Support for short lived mTLS certs refresh without application restart.
+Added new `cluster.authenticator(Authenticator)` method for updating the authenticator used by a cluster.
+Useful for scenarios where you want to refresh credentials without restarting your app.
+* https://couchbasecloud.atlassian.net/browse/JVMCBC-1689[JVMCBC-1689]:
+Added `JwtAuthenticator`.
