+UMFPACK 5.1 is the new default when the Intel MKL is not available, making this the default for the macOS arm64 platform.
+
+SuperLU is removed and no longer available as a solver.
+
+Regression scripts were passing when there were numerical differences in the data diff comparison.  This is now corrected and the regression results have been updated on all platforms.
+
+For those building the software, the ``EXPLICIT_MATH_LOAD`` CMAKE option has been removed, so that the software is not directly linked to any math library.
+
+The license text for the Apache 2.0 license has been replaced with the SPDX format of the license string.  This ensures that the text can be used in a consistent manner across all source files.
