 ## New Features
-- **Protocol versioning**
-
-  We use a new protocol API to perform a "connection open". This API does server-side protocol version compatibility checks, and replaces also our previous need to an any RPC call to check that the network is available.
-
-  This API is called transparently during the construction of both the Core and Cluster clients, so the user does not have to do anything.
-
-
-- **Introduce Values to support expressions**
-
-  Introduce the 'Value' type, which is returned as the result of an expression's computation. This change follows from https://github.com/vaticle/typeql/pull/260, which outlines the capabilities of the new expression syntax.
-
-  Values (representing any of Long, Double, Boolean, String, or DateTime) are returned as part of `ConceptMap` answers and are subtypes of `Concept` for the time being. Their main API is made of the `.get_value()` method and `.get_value_vype()` method, along with all the standard safe downcasting methods to convert a `Concept` into a `Value`, using `Concept.is_value()` and `Concept.as_value()`.
-
-  We also move the import location of `ValueType` from `attribute_type.py` to `concept.py`. We remove APIs like `isKeyable` from `ValueType`s.
-
-
-- **Support generalised annotations and uniqueness**
-
-  We update the Typedb Protocol and TypeQL to the latest versions, which support the uniqueness annotation and generalised `Type` APIs. These generalised APIs allow querying by a set of annotations, rather than just boolean = `true|false`.
-
-  For example, the API: `AttributeType.get_owners(onlyKey: boolean)`, has become: `AttributeType.get_owners(annotations: Set["Annotation"])`
-
-  All usages of boolean flags to indicate key-ness should be replaced by a set of `ThingType.Annotations.KEY`. The new `@unique` annotation is available as `ThingType.Annotations.KEY`, and also usable within the APIs that accept annotations.
-
-
-
-- **Add method to Cluster client to retrieve current user**
-
-  Add an API to be able to retrieve the currently authenticated user.
