+   Release expected by 2027-03-01.
 
    Enhancements
    ------------
 
-   * ``lineup2()`` now writes peak statistics (including ``success`` and
-     ``reasons``) as a bluesky stream before the run closes.  Stream name
-     is controlled by the new ``stats_stream`` kwarg (default:
-     ``"signal_stats"``). (:issue:`1046`)
-   * Add full bluesky run ``uid`` (as ``bluesky_run_uid``) to metadata shared with APS DM. (:issue:`1150`)
-
    Fixes
-   -------------
-
-   * ``AD_plugin_primed()`` and ``ensure_AD_plugin_primed()`` now skip the
-     priming check when the plugin's ``stage_sigs`` will disable it on stage.
-     (:issue:`1061`)
-   * BUG 'dt_cycle_ends' in apstools.devices.aps_cycle.ApsCycleDM
+   -----
 
    Maintenance
    -----------
 
-   * Adopt ``pre-commit`` for code style with ``ruff`` (lint + format) and
-     file hygiene hooks; remove legacy ``black``, ``flake8``, and ``isort``
-     configurations. (:issue:`1156`)
-   * Add ``scripts/make_switcher.py`` to auto-generate ``switcher.json`` from
-     git tags; simplify docs deployment: ``dev/`` auto-deploys on every push
-     to ``main``, tagged releases deploy on manual trigger only; remove
-     ``define_versions.sh`` and the gh-pages zip download/rebuild cycle.
-     (:issue:`1157`)
-   * Add ``scripts/update_copyright.py`` pre-commit hook to keep copyright
-     ending year current automatically. (:issue:`1172`)
-   * Add tests verifying ``EmailNotifications`` sends correctly via SMTP. (:issue:`1112`)
-   * Add unit tests for ``SignalStatsCallback``. (:issue:`1072`)
-   * Bump minimum Python version to 3.10 (Python 3.9 is EOL). (:issue:`1150`)
-   * Consolidate ruff configuration into ``pyproject.toml``, removing ``.ruff.toml``. (:issue:`1150`)
-   * Move test catalogs from ``resources/`` to ``apstools/tests/`` and drop
-     ``_test`` suffix from file names. (:issue:`1165`)
-   * Refactor test catalog installation to use in-memory ``databroker.temp()``
-     loaded from ``.json.gz`` snapshots, removing the fragile ``databroker-unpack``
-     / msgpack / intake YAML approach.  Re-enable 20 skipped tests. (:issue:`1131`)
-   * Relocate some utils code from apsbits.
-   * Replace ``sphinx.ext.autosummary`` and ``.. automodule::`` directives with
-     ``sphinx-autoapi`` for auto-generated API reference.  Curated topic pages
-     (Callbacks, Devices, File Writers, Plans, Utilities, synApps) are retained
-     as bullet-list indexes that cross-reference into the auto-generated pages.
-     (:issue:`1081`)
-   * Review and refactor unit tests: remove ``try/except`` anti-patterns, use
-     ``parms, context`` parametrize style, add ``re.escape()`` to ``match=``
-     strings, replace ``os.chdir()`` with ``monkeypatch.chdir()``. (:issue:`1154`)
-   * Update copyright ending year to 2026. (:issue:`1172`)
