+Release 0.243
+=============
+
+**Highlights**
+==============
+* Add :func:`approx_most_frequent` aggregation function.
+* Add support to :func:`truncate` function for specifying the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the truncated result.
+* Add support for ignoring access checks on columns that are referenced in the query, but are not required to compute the query results. This can be enabled with the ``check_access_control_on_utilized_columns_only`` session property.
+* Add support in verifier to verify ``CREATE VIEW`` and ``CREATE TABLE`` queries.
+
+**Details**

+* Remove configuration property ``optimizer.optimize-full-outer-join-with-coalesce`` and the corresponding session property ``optimize_full_outer_join_with_coalesce``. The feature will always be enabled.
+* Remove deprecated configuration properties ``grouped-execution-for-aggregation-enabled`` and ``grouped-execution-for-join-enabled`` and their corresponding session properties ``grouped_execution_for_aggregation`` and ``grouped_execution_for_join``.
