+
+==== Improvements
+
+* https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/JVMCBC-1477[JVMCBC-1477]
+Reduced the rate at which messages appear in the server's `http_access.log` when invalid credentials are provided resulting in 401 errors. 
+Issues resulting in 403 errors will be handled in a future release.
+* https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/JVMCBC-1498[JVMCBC-1498]
+The fields of a `SearchRow` from a Full-Text Search result are now included in the output of `SearchRow.toString()`.
+* https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/JVMCBC-1499[JVMCBC-1499]
+Disabled DNS SRV caching. The SDK now responds quicker to DNS changes in dynamic environments like Kubernetes.
+* https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/JVMCBC-1500[JVMCBC-1500]
+Added `EventingFunctionLanguageCompatibility.VERSION_7_2_0`.
