 # About This Version
-The 0.3.0 release Oracle R2DBC implements version 0.9.0.M2 of the R2DBC SPI.
-The 0.9.0.M2 SPI update introduces support for consuming a `Result` as a
- stream of `Segment` objects, configuring statement execution timeouts, and
- managing pooled `Connection`s with the `LifeCycle` interface.
-
-The 0.3.0 release updates the Oracle JDBC dependency to 21.3. The 21.3 release 
- introduces several improvements for the Reactive Extensions:
-  - Substantial reduction in object allocation costs.
-  - Row mapping functions will no longer contend with other threads for
-   access to the JDBC connection.
-  - Blocking database calls are no longer required for PreparedStatements
-   returning values generated by DML.
+The 0.4.0 release Oracle R2DBC implements version 0.9.0.RELEASE of the R2DBC SPI.
+
+Bug fixes included in this release:
+- Resolved a stack overflow that occcured when reading JSON columns
+- Using asynchronous lock acquisition to avoid contention for JDBC's lock
+
+Functionality added in this release:
+- Support for SERIALIZABLE transaction isolation
+- Support for transaction savepoints
+- Support for R2dbcException.getSql()
+
+API changes in this release:
+- Addition of oracle.r2dbc.OracleR2dbcOptions, a class that declares Oracle R2DBC's extended Options
+- Addition of oracle.r2dbc.OracleR2dbcOptions.EXECUTOR, an Option for configuring a non-default Executor
+- Renamed the "oracleNetDescriptor" Option to "oracle.r2dbc.descriptor"
+- Statement.add() results in an IllegalStateException if bind values are not set afterwards

 must be fetched with additional database calls. The number of prefetched
-bytes is configured by an ```Option``` named [oracle.jdbc.defaultLobPrefetchSize](https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/21/jajdb/oracle/jdbc/OracleConnection.html?is-external=true#CONNECTION_PROPERTY_DEFAULT_LOB_PREFETCH_SIZE)
