 - **Evaluation of Schema and Value Matches:** Added methods to evaluate schema and value matches. ([#118](https://github.com/VIDA-NYU/bdi-kit/pull/118))
 - **Contextual Matching Support:** Enabled users to attach contextual information to source or target datasets to improve matching quality. ([#117](https://github.com/VIDA-NYU/bdi-kit/pull/117))
 - **Caching for Schema Matching:** Implemented a caching mechanism to avoid recomputing expensive match operations. ([#119](https://github.com/VIDA-NYU/bdi-kit/pull/119))
+- **Value Matching Caching:** Added caching support for value matching functions to improve performance and reduce redundant computations. Also enhanced the caching mechanism for schema matching. ([#124](https://github.com/VIDA-NYU/bdi-kit/pull/124))
 - **Numeric Mapping Support:** Introduced a numeric transformer primitive to handle numeric conversions during value matching. ([#112](https://github.com/VIDA-NYU/bdi-kit/pull/112))

 - **LLM Method Renaming:** Renamed LLM-based methods for consistency and improved clarity. ([#121](https://github.com/VIDA-NYU/bdi-kit/pull/121))
 - **Unification of Value Matching Output:** Standardized outputs from value matching methods to align with schema matching formats. ([#116](https://github.com/VIDA-NYU/bdi-kit/pull/116)) By default, the `match_values()` and `rank_value_matches()` functions now return a single DataFrame instead of a list of DataFrames. Note: This change is backward-incompatible.
+- **Terminology Update:** Renamed `'columns'` to `'attributes'` in the outputs of various methods to ensure consistent terminology across the toolkit. ([#123](https://github.com/VIDA-NYU/bdi-kit/pull/123))
