 * New database plugin SDK (v4) to handle customData for attachments.
 * New storage plugin SDK (v3) to handle customData for attachments,
 
-
+* TODO-FIND: complete the list of updated routes:
+  - /studies?expand and sibbling routes now also return "Metadata" (if the DB implements 'extended-api-v1')
+  - /studies?since=x&limit=0 and sibbling routes: limit=0 now means "no limit" instead of "no results"
+
+General
+-------
+
+* Database:
+  - Introduced database optimizations "ExtendedFind" to replace many small SQL queries
+    by a small number of large SQL queries to greatly reduce the cost of DB latency.
+    Furthermore, this "ExtendedFind" brings new sorting and filtering features to the 
+    Rest API (TODO).
+  - Introduced database optimizations "ExtendedChanges" to allow filtering of /changes.
+  - Reduced the number of SQL queries when ingesting DICOM files.
+* Introduced a new configuration "ReadOnly" to forbid an Orthanc instance to perform 
+  any modifications in the Index DB or in the storage.
+  
 REST API
------------
-
+--------
+
+* API version upgraded to 25
 * Improved parsing of multiple numerical values in DICOM tags.
   https://discourse.orthanc-server.org/t/qido-includefield-with-sequences/4746/6
-
+* in /system, added a new field "Capabilities" with new values:
+  - "HasExtendedChanges" for DB backend that provides this feature (the default SQLite DB
+    or PostgreSQL vX.X, MySQL vX.X, ODBC vX.X).
+  - "HasExendedFind" for DB backend that provides this feature (the default SQLite DB
+    or PostgreSQL vX.X, MySQL vX.X, ODBC vX.X).
+* With DB backend with "HasExtendedChanges" support, /changes now supports 2 more options: 
+  - 'type' to filter the changes returned by the query 
+  - 'to' to potentially cycle through changes in reverse order.
+  example: /changes?type=StableStudy&to=7584&limit=100

+The main object to access the DB is the ServerIndex class that is accessible from the ServerContext.
+
+ServerIndex inherits from StatelessDatabaseOperations.
+
+StatelessDatabaseOperations owns an IDatabaseWrapper member (db).
+StatelessDatabaseOperations has 2 internal Transaction classes (ReadOnlyTransactions and ReadWriteTransactions) that implements the DB
+operations by calling the methods from IDatabaseWrapper:ITransaction.
+
+IDatabaseWrapper has 2 direct derived classes:
+- BaseDatabaseWrapper which simply provides a "not implemented" implementation of new methods to its derived classes:
+  - OrthancPluginDatabase    that is a legacy plugin interface
+  - OrthancPluginDatabaseV3  that is a legacy plugin interface
+  - SQLiteDatabaseWrapper    that is used by the default SQLite DB in Orthanc
+- OrthancPluginDatabaseV4 that is the latest plugin interface and uses protobuf
+
+When you add a new method in the DB (e.g: UpdateAndGetStatistics with a new signature), you must:
+- define it as a member of StatelessDatabaseOperations
+- define it as a member of StatelessDatabaseOperations::ReadWriteTransactions or StatelessDatabaseOperations::ReadOnlyTransactions
+- define it as a member of IDatabaseWrapper:ITransaction
+- define it in OrthancDatabasePlugin.proto (new request + new response + new message)
+- define it in OrthancPluginDatabaseV4
+- define a NotImplemented default implementation in BaseDatabaseWrapper
+- optionally define it in SQLiteDatabaseWrapper if it can be implemented in SQLite
+- very likely define it as a DbCapabilities in IDatabaseWrapper::DbCapabilities (e.g: Has/SetUpdateAndGetStatistics()) such that the Orthanc
+  core knows if it can use it or not.
+
+Then, in the orthanc-databases repo, you should:
+- define it as a virtual member of IDatabaseBackend
+- define it as a member of IndexBackend
+- add a handler for the new protobuf message in DatabaseBackendAdapterV4
