 # Release notes
 
 
-### head
+### 2025.8.22
+
+Features:
+
+- Apply calibration works in G0 if passes a 2D calibration and pedestal
+- count pixels that switch
+- calculate pedestal (also g0 version)
+- NDArray::view() needs an lvalue to reduce issues with the view outliving the array
+
+
+Bugfixes:
+
+- Now using glibc 2.17 in conda builds (was using the host)
+- Fixed shifted pixels in clusters close to the edge of a frame
