 ## Added
 
 ## Changes
+- This release is purely an optimization change, all commits between the last release and now (fd684d0bccac3b91c735a2310931f602ba7bc82a..b304a96d51f143aebe76c2c8816d6345a7b70117) were purely for these reasons.
 
 ## Fixes
-- `ScanlatorGroup.publish_delay` is now (correctly) Optional. (2ae4806997cae6e54e785c4e6e906ffd6a9032f3)
-- New utility added and utilised for sending datetimes to mangadex. It now cleans and coverts them to UTC from aware timezones. (11ff66854a82168a2fa0bce104f82d7fb63469f4)
-- `Cover.url` now supports passing a parent manga id, as it is generally a "sub-relationship" meaning it has no relationships to parse for the parent manga. (802795d9f92a3d06e0e1bcb21d1602a6ad0c3b67)
 
 ### Notes
-- `Client.view_manga` method has been marked as deprecated in favour of `Client.view_manga` and will be removed in version 3.0. (588c2fdc2956db5435c2aa5792281d3a78ef7396)
-- Due to this being a fix release, there is some pending internal changes that are not fully implemented across the board.
