 ## New Features
-- **Cloud address translation**
-  
-  We allow connection to the cloud servers using an address translation mapping (cf. https://github.com/vaticle/typedb-driver/pull/624). This is useful when the route from the user to the servers differs from the route the servers are configured with (e.g. connection to public-facing servers from an internal network).
-  
-  Example usage: 
-  ```bash
-  console \
-      --cloud=typedb1.domain.com:1729=typedb.local:11729,typedb2.domain.com:1729=typedb.local:21729 \
-      --username=<user> --password=<password>
-  ```
-  or:
-  ```bash
-  console \
-      --cloud=typedb1.domain.com:1729=typedb.local:11729 \
-      --cloud=typedb2.domain.com:1729=typedb.local:21729 \
-      --username=<user> --password=<password>
-  ```
-  
-  Note: we currently require that the user provides translation for the addresses of _all_ nodes in the Cloud deployment.

 ## Other Improvements
-- **Fix git patch for Windows build**
-  
-  We update the git patch used for workspace path shortening in Windows CI builds.
+- **Turn off statistics reporting in CI**
+  We turn off the `--diagnostics.reporting.statistics` in our CI builds not to send non-real diagnostics data.
 
+  In version 2.28 and earlier, this flag purely prevents `TypeDB` from sending any diagnostics data.
+  In the upcoming version 2.28.1, this flag still allows `TypeDB` to send a single diagnostics snapshot with the information of when the diagnostics data has been turned off, but it happens only after the server runs for 1 hour, so we expect the CI builds not to reach this point and not to send any diagnostics data as well.
