+## 23.2.2
+- Mitigated a mutex issue that can happen during update loop.

 ## 23.2.1
 - Added manual session control via "Countly::enableManualSessionControl". When enabled, automatic session calls are ignored, while manual calls remain usable for finer control.
 - Added "checkRQSize" function to return the current number of requests in the queue.
