-* Added support for ExtendedChanges:
-  - changes?type=...&to=...
-* Performance optimizations (to be summarized before release):
-  - using more prepared SQL statements:
-    - InsertOrUpdateMetadata
-    - ExecuteSetResourcesContentTags
-  - merged BEGIN and SET TRANSACTION statements
+* Added support for ExtendedChanges introduced in Orthanc 1.12.5
+  enabling new get arguments (type & to) in the /changes API route.
+* Added support for ExtendedFind introduced in Orthanc 1.12.5
+  enabling new filtering and ordering options in /tools/find API route.
+* Performance optimizations:
   - reduced the number of round-trips between Orthanc and the PostgreSQL server:
-    - e.g: when receiving an instance in an existing series, reduced the number of SQL queries from 13 to 9
+    - replaced numerous small queries by a single large query in /tools/find.
+    - reduced the number of queries when ingesting new instances.
+  - using more prepared SQL statements
+
 * Fixed a memory leak when executing non cached SQL statements (rarely used)
 * New default values for configurations:
   - "IndexConnectionsCount": 50
   - "TransactionMode": "ReadCommitted"
-* Introduced a new thread to perform DB Housekeeping at regular interval (5s) for the
-  DB plugins requiring it (currently only PostgreSQL).  E.g: This avoids very long update
-  times in case you don't call /statistics for a long period.  The execution interval of
-  this thread can be configured through "HousekeepingInterval".
