 ### What's Included:
 
 - Everything from previous releases
-- **Alpine Linux Support:** Added full support for Alpine Linux distribution (musllinux) with specialized driver handling and fixes for musl libc compatibility.
-- **Connection Management Improvements:** Fixed autocommit to be False by default and added automatic rollback on connection close for better transaction control.
-- **PyODBC Compatibility:** Enhanced type objects and constructor compatibility with pyodbc for seamless migration and interoperability.
+- **SUSE Linux Support:** Added full support for SUSE and openSUSE distributions alongside existing other Linux distros support, broadening enterprise Linux compatibility.
+- **Context Manager Support:** Implemented Python `with` statement support for Connection and Cursor classes with automatic transaction management and resource cleanup.
+- **Large Text Streaming:** Added Data At Execution (DAE) support for streaming large text parameters (`NVARCHAR(MAX)`, `VARCHAR(MAX)`), eliminating memory constraints for bulk text `execute()` operations.
+  - `VARBINARY(MAX)` support to follow alongwith streaming support for fetch operations.
+- **Enhanced Unicode Handling:** Improved emoji and international character support with robust UTF-16 encoding for reliable multilingual data processing.
+- **PyODBC Compatibility:** Enhanced API compatibility with pyodbc including:
+  - DB-API 2.0 exception classes: `Warning`, `Error`, `InterfaceError`, `DatabaseError`, `DataError`, `OperationalError`, `IntegrityError`, `InternalError`, `ProgrammingError`, `NotSupportedError`
+  - Context manager support with `with` statements for Connection and Cursor
+  - Encoding configuration APIs: `setencoding()`, `getencoding()`, `setdecoding()`, `getdecoding()`
+  - Cursor navigation APIs: `next()`, `__iter__()`, `scroll()`, `skip()`, `fetchval()`
+  - Cursor attributes: `rownumber`, `messages`
+  - Additional methods: `cursor.commit()`, `cursor.rollback()`, `table()`

 ### What's Next:
 
 As we continue to develop and refine the driver, you can expect regular updates that will introduce new features, optimizations, and bug fixes. We encourage you to contribute, provide feedback and report any issues you encounter, as this will help us improve the driver for the final release.
