 * New ``heat_spell_frequency``, ``heat_spell_max_length`` and ``heat_spell_total_length`` : spell length statistics on a bivariate condition that uses the average over a window by default. (:pull:`1885`, :pull:`1778`).
 * New ``hot_spell_max_magnitude`` : yields the magnitude of the most intensive heat wave. (:pull:`1926`).
-* New ``chill_portion`` and ``chill_unit``: chill portion based on the Dynamic Model and chill unit based on the Utah model indicators. (:issue:`1753`, :pull:`1909`).

 New features and enhancements
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-* New generic ``xclim.indices.generic.spell_mask``  that returns a mask of which days are part of a spell. Supports multivariate conditions and weights. Used in new generic index ``xclim.indices.generic.bivariate_spell_length_statistics`` that extends ``spell_length_statistics`` to two variables.  (:pull:`1885`).
+* New generic ``xclim.indices.generic.spell_mask``  that returns a mask of which days are part of a spell. Supports multivariate conditions and weights. Used in new generic index ``xclim.indices.generic.bivariate_spell_length_statistics`` that extends ``spell_length_statistics`` to two variables. (:pull:`1885`).
 * Indicator parameters can now be assigned a new name, different from the argument name in the compute function. (:pull:`1885`).
 * Add attribute ``units_metadata`` to outputs representing a difference between temperatures. This is needed to disambiguate temperature differences from absolute temperature. Changes affect indicators ``daily_temperature_range``, ``daily_temperature_range_variability``, ``extreme_temperature_range``, ``interday_diurnal_temperature_range``, and all degree-day indicators. Implemented using a new ``pint2cfattrs`` function to convert pint units to a dictionary of CF attributes. ``units2pint`` is also modified to support ``units_metadata`` attributes in DataArrays. Some SDBA properties and measures previously returning units of ``delta_degC`` will now return the original input DataArray units accompanied with the ``units_metadata`` attribute. (:issue:`1822`, :pull:`1830`).
-* ``xclim.indices.run_length.windowed_max_run_sum`` accumulates positive values across runs and yields the the maximum valued run. (:pull:`1926`).
+* ``xclim.indices.run_length.windowed_max_run_sum`` accumulates positive values across runs and yields the maximum valued run. (:pull:`1926`).
 * Helper function ``xclim.indices.helpers.make_hourly_temperature`` to estimate hourly temperatures from daily min and max temperatures. (:pull:`1909`).
 * New global option ``resample_map_blocks`` to wrap all ``resample().map()`` code inside a ``xr.map_blocks`` to lower the number of dask tasks. Uses utility ``xclim.indices.helpers.resample_map`` and requires ``flox`` to ensure the chunking allows such block-mapping. Defaults to False. (:pull:`1848`).
 * ``xclim.indices.run_length.runs_with_holes`` allows to input a condition that must be met for a run to start and a second condition that must be met for the run to stop. (:pull:`1778`).
-* New generic compute function ``xclim.indices.generic.thresholded_events`` that finds events based on a threshold condition and returns basic stats for each. See also ``xclim.indices.run_length.find_events``. (:pull:`1778`).
+* New generic compute function ``xclim.indices.generic.thresholded_events`` that finds events based on a threshold condition and returns basic stats for each. See also: ``xclim.indices.run_length.find_events``. (:pull:`1778`).
 * ``xclim.core.units.rate2amount`` and ``xclim.core.units.amount2rate`` can now also accept quantities (pint objects or strings), in which case the ``dim`` argument must be the ``time`` coordinate through which we can find the sampling rate. (:pull:`1778`).
-* ``xclim.indices.stats.standardized_index`` now supports a weekly resampling frequency. Only "standard" calendars using numpy's `datetime64` dtype are supported for this mode. (:issue:`1892`, :pull:`1952`)

 Bug fixes
 ^^^^^^^^^
 * Fixed ``rate2amount`` and ``amount2rate`` for sub-daily frequencies. (:issue:`1962`, :pull:`1963`).
 * Added the liquid water equivalent thickness ("[length]") to amount ("[mass]/[area]") transformation to the ``hydro`` context (the inverse operation was already there). (:pull:`1963`).
-* Fixed a small inefficiency in ``_otc_adjust``, and the `standardize` method of `OTC/dOTC` is now applied on individual variable  (:pull:`1890`, :pull:`1896`).
-* Remove deprecated cells in the tutorial notebook `sdba.ipynb` (:pull:`1895`).

 Breaking changes
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 * `platformdirs` is no longer a direct dependency of `xclim`, but `pooch` is required to use many of the new testing functions (installable via `pip install pooch` or `pip install 'xclim[dev]'`). (:pull:`1889`).
-* The following previously-deprecated functions have now been removed from `xclim`: ``xclim.core.calendar.convert_calendar``, ``xclim.core.calendar.date_range``, ``xclim.core.calendar.date_range_like``, ``xclim.core.calendar.interp_calendar``, ``xclim.core.calendar.days_in_year``, ``xclim.core.calendar.datetime_to_decimal_year``. For guidance on how to migrate to alternatives, see the `version 0.50.0 Breaking changes <#v0-50-0-2024-06-17>`_. (:issue:`1010`, :pull:`1845`).
-* `transform` argument of `OTC/dOTC` classes (and child functions) is changed to `normalization`, and `numIterMax` is changed to `num_iter_max` in `utils.optimal_transport` (:pull:`1896`).
-* `xclim` now requires `numpy >=1.23.0` and `scikit-learn >=1.1.0`, as well as (optionally) `ipython >=8.5.0`, `nbsphinx >=0.9.5`, and `matplotlib >=3.6.0` . (:issue:`1914`, :pull:`1915`).
