+## Release (1.23) Highlights
+
+This release focuses on memory and load speed optimisations.  
+
+***Launcher Changes***:
+- Added: Support for assigning tags to mods, mods can now use tags to help end users filter their mod collection.  
+  - This includes support for some automated tags, e.g. `Has Code Injection`.  
+
+- Fixed: Bug that prevented users from selecting other mods after updating a mod in `Edit Mod` menu.  
+
+***Space and Memory Related Changes***:  
+- Changed: Loader now uses hooking functionality from `Reloaded.SharedLib.Hooks` mod, as opposed to including its own hooking library. (Saves ~1.4MiB) 
+- Changed: Bootstrapper library now dynamically links with Visual C++ Runtime using custom build of .NET Runtime's `libnethost`. (Saves ~300KiB)  
+- Removed: JSON parser from boostrapper, now uses Environment Variables (Saves ~200KiB)  
+- Added: Full GC After Loader Initialisation. In practice most mods idle outside the occasional hooks.  
+- Mods can now use `ExcludeAssets="runtime"` in NuGet PackageReference(s) to not unnecessarily include DLLs from interfaces/DI packages.  
+
+***Load Speed Related Changes***:  
+- Changed: Mod loading logic/model now is singlethreaded (again) but with merged preparing and initialising step. Will not interface/DI DLLs unused at runtime from disk.  
+- Added: Mod loader now caches whether mods can unload and/or have exports as part of `ModConfig.json`.  
+  - This change is what allows for preparing and initialising to be done in one step.  
+
+***CI/CD***
+- Builds produced by CI should now hopefully be more deterministic.  
+
+***Other***
+- Loader: Now prints unsuccessful attempts at calls to GetController API.
