 ## [2.7.0rc1] - 2024-04-22
 
 ### Added
+- EME solver through `EMESimulation` class.
 - 2D heat simulations are now fully supported. 
 - `tidy3d.plugins.adjoint.web.run_local` used in place of `run` will skip validators that restrict the size or number of `input_structures`.
-- Introduced the `microwave` plugin which includes `ImpedanceCalculator` for computing the characteristic impedance of transmission lines.
+- Introduces the `microwave` plugin which includes `ImpedanceCalculator` for computing the characteristic impedance of transmission lines.
 - `Simulation` now accepts `LumpedElementType`, which currently only supports the `LumpedResistor` type. `LumpedPort` together with `LumpedResistor` make up the new `TerminalComponentModeler` in the `smatrix` plugin.
 - Uniaxial medium Lithium Niobate to material library.
 - Added support for conformal mesh methods near PEC structures that can be specified through the field `pec_conformal_mesh_spec` in the `Simulation` class. Note: previously, `subpixel=False` was implementing staircasing for every material except PEC. Now, `subpixel=False` implements direct staircasing for all materials. For PEC, the behavior of `subpixel=False` in Tidy3D < 2.7 is now achieved through `subpixel=True` and `pec_conformal_mesh_spec=HeuristicConformalMeshSpec()`, while `subpixel=True` in Tidy3D < 2.7 is now achieved through the default settings `subpixel=True` and `pec_conformal_mesh_spec=StaircasingConformalMeshSpec()`. Additionally, a new `BenklerConformalMeshSpec()` was introduced for more accurate PEC modelling.
-- EME solver through `EMESimulation` class.
 - Properties `num_time_steps_adjoint` and `tmesh_adjoint` to `JaxSimulation` to estimate adjoint run time.
 - Ability to add `path` to `updated_copy()` method to recursively update sub-components of a tidy3d model. For example `sim2 = sim.updated_copy(size=new_size, path="structures/0/geometry")` creates a recursively updated copy of `sim` where `sim.structures[0].geometry` is updated with `size=new_size`.
-- Python 3.12 support. Updated dependencies.
+- Python 3.12 support. Python 3.8 deprecation. Updated dependencies.
 
 ### Changed
 - IMPORTANT NOTE: differentiable fields in the `adjoint` plugin (`JaxBox.size`, `JaxBox.center`, `JaxPolySlab.vertices`) no longer store the derivative information after the object is initialized. For example, if using JaxPolySlab.vertices directly in an objective function, the vertices will have no effect on the gradient. Instead, this information is now stored in a field of the same name with `_jax` suffix, eg. `JaxPolySlab.vertices_jax`. For some applications, such as evaluating penalty values, please change to `radius_penalty.evaluate(polyslab.vertices_jax)` or use the vertices as generated by your parameterization functions (`make_vertices(params)`).
