+## v0.25.0 (2024-02-06)
+
+> **Note:**
+>  Waku Filter v2 now has three additional configuration options
+> `--filter-max-peers-to-serve=1000` drives how many peers can subscribe at once and
+> `--filter-max-criteria=1000` defines what is the maximum criterion stored per each peers
+>
+> This release introduces a major change in Filter v2 protocol subscription management.
+> From now each subscribed peer needs to refresh its living subscriptions by sending a SUBSCRIBER_PING message every 5 minutes by default, otherwise the peer's subscription will be removed.
+> `--filter-subscription-timeout=300` defines configurable timeout for the subscriptions (*in seconds*).
+>
+> New experimental feature, shard aware peer manager for relay protocol can be activated by the flag:
+> `--relay-shard-manager=true|false`
+> It is disabled by default.
+
+> **Announcement:**
+>
+> Please notice that from the next release (0.26.0) we will deprecate features.
+>
+> - JSON-RPC API will be removed completely. Instead we recommend you to utilize REST API endpoints that have same and extended functionality.
+> - We will retire websockets support for RLN on-chain group management. You are expected to use HTTP version of ETH_CLIENT_ADDRESS
