+= New Features
+
+* A transaction_connection_validator extension has been added.  This
+  extension allows for transparently switching to a new connection if
+  a disconnect error is raised while trying to start a transaction, as
+  long as a connection was not already checked out from the pool
+  when the transaction method was called.  Transparent reconnection
+  is safe in this case, since no user code is retried.
+
+  This extension can have lower overhead than the
+  connection_validator extension if that is configured to check for
+  validity more often than the default of one hour.  However, it
+  only handles cases where transactions are used.  It can detect
+  disconnects that would not be detected by default with the
+  connection_validator extension, since that extension defaults to
+  only checking validity if the connection has not been used in the
+  last hour.
+
+* Sequel now supports a create_table :without_rowid option on SQLite,
+  to create a table WITHOUT ROWID, for better performance in some
+  cases. Users are encouraged to read the SQLite documentation on
+  WITHOUT ROWID before using this option.
+
+* The sqlite adapter now supports a :regexp_function_cache option, if
+  the :setup_regexp_function option is set to :cached.  The
+  :regexp_function_cache option should be a Proc (returning a cache
+  object to use), or a class.  It's possible to use
+  ObjectSpace::WeakKeyMap as the value of the option on Ruby 3.3+
+  to avoid the memory leaks that are possible when using
+  :setup_regexp_function option :cached value with dynamic regexps.
+
+* The duplicate_columns_handler extension now supports specifying
+  the on_duplicate_columns option as a connection string parameter.
+
+= Other Improvements
+
+* The list plugin now honors the :top option for the position when
+  adding the first item to the list, instead of always using 1.
+
+* Regexp matches on SQLite are now faster on Ruby 2.4+, using
+  Regexp#match?.
+
+* The uniqueness validation in the validation_helpers plugin now
+  uses empty? instead of count == 0, for better performance.
+
+* On Ruby 3.4+, Sequel uses the timed_queue connection pool instead
+  of the threaded connection pool by default.  This should make it
+  so no existing applications are affected by the default switch.
+  This should hopefully allow ample testing of the timed_queue
+  connection pool.  At some point in the future, if no problems
+  are repoted, Sequel will likely switch to using the timed_queue
+  connection pool by default on Ruby 3.2+.
+
+= Backwards Compatibility
+
+* Sequel now warns by default if using eager_graph/association_join
+  with an association that uses a block, in the cases where the
+  block would be ignored and there are no appropriate graph options
+  set. In Sequel 6, this warning will be turned into an exception.
+  It is recommended that users use the auto_restrict_eager_graph
+  plugin to turn this into an exception now, or use the
+  :graph_use_association_block option so that the block is not
+  ignored when graphing.
