   - Add `bulk_upload_chunks` parameter to `write_pandas` function. Setting this parameter to True changes the behaviour of write_pandas function to first write all the data chunks to the local disk and then perform the wildcard upload of the chunks folder to the stage. In default behaviour the chunks are being saved, uploaded and deleted one by one.
   - Added support for new authentication mechanism PAT with external session ID.
   - Added `client_fetch_use_mp` parameter that enables multiprocessed fetching of result batches.
+  - Make botocore and boto3 an optional dependencies pack.
 
 - v3.15.1(May 20, 2025)
   - Added basic arrow support for Interval types.
