+### 2024-05-05: RNS β 0.7.4
+
+This maintenance release fixes a number of bugs, improves path requests and responses, and adds several useful features and capabilities. Thanks to @cobraPA, @jsculthess, @thiaguetz and @nothingbutlucas who contributed to this release!
+
+**Changes**
+- Added support for flashing and autoinstalling Heltec V3 boards to `rnodeconf`
+- Added custom EEPROM bootstrapping capabilities to `rnodeconf`
+- Added ability to load identities from file to Echo and Link examples
+- Added ability to specify multicast address type in AutoInterface configuration
+- Added link getter to resource advertisement class
+- Improved path response logic and timing
+- Improved path request timing
+- Fixed a bug in Link Request proof delivery on unknown hop count paths
+- Fixed broken link packet routing in topologies where transport packets leak to non-intended instances in the link chain
+- Fixed typos in documentation
+
+**Release Hashes**

 - In alignment with the [Roadmap](./Roadmap.md) or solve an open issue or feature request
 - Sufficiently tested to work with all API functions, and pass the standard test suite
 - Functionally and conceptually complete and well-designed
+- Not simply formatting or code style changes
 - Well-documented
 
 Even new ideas and proposals that have not been approved by a maintainer, or fall outside the established roadmap, are *occasionally* accepted - if they possess the remaining of the above qualities. If not, they will be closed and removed without comments or explanation.
