+Highlights:
+
+This release changes the default preferred behavior of WorkflowServiceStubs from an eager connection and throwing error
+if the Temporal Server is not available to a lazy connectivity on the first request. See migration notes.
+
+Fixes:
+
+- sticky_cache_size was updating only during forced evictions
+- test service stubs were time sensitive to time skipping that may require long execution of application code and were throwing DEADLINE_EXCEEDED
+- OpenTracing was logging forced thread evictions from the cache as errors
+
+Migration notes:
+
+`WorkflowServiceStubs#newInstance`, `WorkflowServiceStubsOptions.Builder#setDisableHealthCheck`,
+`WorkflowServiceStubsOptions.Builder#setHealthCheckAttemptTimeout` and `WorkflowServiceStubsOptions.Builder#setHealthCheckTimeout`
+are deprecated.
+
+- The new preferred default is `WorkflowServiceStubs#newServiceStubs`.
+- Switch to `WorkflowServiceStubs#newServiceStubs` if you were disabling health check on the start previously.
+- Switch to `WorkflowServiceStubs#newConnectedServiceStubs` if you prefer an explicit health check on creation. Pass your old `WorkflowServiceStubsOptions.Builder#setHealthCheckTimeout` as a `timeout` parameter to this method (`null` supported for default).
