@@ -13,7 +13,14 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - Added ipywidgets to the dependencies
 - Added ability to define scenarios that change depending on the episode number.
 - Standardised Environment API by renaming the config parameter of `PrimaiteGymEnv` from `game_config` to `env_config`
+- Database Connection ID's are now created/issued by DatabaseService and not DatabaseClient
 - added ability to set PrimAITE between development and production modes via PrimAITE CLI ``mode`` command
+- Updated DatabaseClient so that it can now have a single native DatabaseClientConnection along with a collection of DatabaseClientConnection's.
+- Implemented the uninstall functionality for DatabaseClient so that all connections are terminated at the DatabaseService.
+- Added the ability for a DatabaseService to terminate a connection.
+- Added active_connection to DatabaseClientConnection so that if the connection is terminated active_connection is set to False and the object can no longer be used.
+- Added additional show functions to enable connection inspection.
+
 
 ## [Unreleased]
 - Made requests fail to reach their target if the node is off
