+### Changed
+#### Analyzer
+* Refactored the `NlpEngine` and Ner recognizers (`SpacyRecognizer`, `TransformersRecognizer`, `StanzaRecognizer`) to allow simpler integration of huggingface and transformers models (#1159). This includes:
+    - Changes in how NER results flow through Presidio (see docs)
+    - NER/model definition is now defined using a conf file or a `NerModelConfiguration` object.
+    - Integrated `spacy-huggingface-pipelines` for a more robust integration of huggingface models.        
+* As a result, `SpacyRecognizer` logic has changed, please see #1159. Some fields within the class are now deprecated.
+* Updated type checks (#1175)
+* Enabled regex flags manipulation (#1193)
+  
+#### Anonymizer
+* Initial logic check for merging 2 entities (#1092)
+* Fix Sphinx warning in OperatorConfig (#1143)
+* Fix type mismatch in check_label_groups parameter in spacy_recognizer (#1130)
+* anonymize_list return type hint fix (#1178)
+* 
+#### General
+* We no longer use Pipenv.lock. Locking happens as part of the CI. (#1152)
+* Changed the ACR instance (#1089)
+* Updated to Cred Scan V3 (#1154)
