-## Unreleased
-
-### Added
-
-- Added `all_gather` method to `LightningModule` which allows gradient based tensor synchronizations for use-cases such as negative sampling. ([#5012](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/5012))
-
-### Fixed
-
-- Fixed `LoggerConnector` to have logged metrics on root device in DP ([#4138](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/4138))
