+Features and Enhancements
+-------------------------
+- Added ``$lib.model.migration.s.riskHasVulnToVulnerable`` migration helper
+  to create ``risk:vulnerable`` nodes from ``risk:hasvuln`` nodes.
+  (`#3734 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3734>`_)
+- Added ``$lib.model.migration.s.itSecCpe_2_170_0()`` migration helper to update
+  ``it:sec:cpe`` nodes created before this release. Details about the migration
+  helper can be found in the help (``help -v $lib.model.migration.s.itSecCpe_2_170_0``)
+  (`#3515 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3515>`_)
+- Update Storm lift optimization for tag filters to also allow hinting
+  based on runtsafe variable values.
+  (`#3733 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3733>`_)
+- Log an info message with the current Cell and Synapse version on startup.
+  (`#3723 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3723>`_)
+- Add per-Cell version checks to prevent accidental downgrades of services.
+  (`#3728 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3728>`_)
+- Add a check to Cells that will warn when performance related sysctl values
+  are not configured correctly on the host. This warning can be disabled with
+  the ``health:sysctl:checks`` configuration option.
+  (`#3712 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3712>`_)
+- Add ``forms`` and ``interfaces`` type options to the ``ndef`` type, which
+  require the value to be one of the specified forms, or inherit one of the
+  specified interfaces.
+  (`#3724 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3724>`_)
+- Add support for pivoting from an ``ndef`` secondary prop to specific form. 
+  (`#3715 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3715>`_)
+- Add support for pivoting to or from ``ndef`` array properties.
+  (`#3720 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3720>`_)
+- Add an index of buids by form to Layers. A ``getStorNodesByForm()`` API has
+  been added to Storm Layer objects to retrieve storage nodes using this index.
+  (`#3729 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3729>`_)
+- Storm Dmon APIs called on a Cortex mirror now call up to the leader to
+  retrieve their result.
+  (`#3735 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3735>`_)
+- Add a ``insertParentFork()`` API on Storm View objects to insert a new
+  View between an existing fork and its parent View.
+  (`#3731 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3731>`_)
+- Quorum merge requests are now allowed on Views which have forks.
+  (`#3738 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3738>`_)
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+- Fix a formatting issue in an error message that could be raised during
+  JSON decoding in a Storm ``http:api:request`` object.
+  (`#3730 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3730>`_)
+- Fix an issue where ``inet:url`` norming did not handle IPv6 addresses
+  in the host portion of the URL correctly.
+  (`#3727 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3727>`_)
+- Fix an issue where executing the ``view.exec`` command from within a
+  privileged Storm runtime still checked user permissions for the specified
+  view.
+  (`#3726 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3726>`_)
+- Update logic for parsing CPE 2.2 and CPE 2.3 strings to be more compliant with
+  the specification. This resulted in better conversions from CPE 2.2 to CPE 2.3
+  and CPE 2.3 to CPE 2.2.
+  (`#3515 <https://github.com/vertexproject/synapse/pull/3515>`_)
