+--------------
+
+*Released March 4, 2019*
+
+- Performance improvements to the :ref:`Documents <compass-documents>`
+  and :ref:`Aggregation <compass-agg-builder>` tabs, specifically with
+  deeply nested documents.
+
+- Fixed several connection issues.
+
+  - Fixed Kerberos connections where hostname is not the canonical
+    name.
+
+  - Fixed SRV connections with special characters in the password.
+
+  - |compass-short| no longer allows direct connections to
+    :term:`secondary` databases, which would result in hangs on the
+    loading navigation screen.
+
+  - Fixed connections to ``M0``
+    `Atlas <https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas>`__ clusters with
+    readonly users.
+
+- Fixed issue where :dbcommand:`usersInfo` command was not available
+  to the data service.
+
+- ``authSource`` now correctly defaults to ``admin`` when connecting to
+  `Atlas <https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas>`__.
+
