 ## Bugs Fixed
-
+- **Fix Factory CI job names**
+  
+  We fix prerequisites of the sync-dependencies job and bring the C++ behaviour test job names in concordance with the rest.
+  
+- **Fix native calls in python driver rules api**
+  Fixes a bug which caused the delete, is_deleted and set_label methods on a Rule to fail.
+  
+  
 
 ## Code Refactors
+- **Consolidate Factory CI behaviour test jobs per driver language**
+  
+  We merge individual `test-{lang}-behaviour-{domain}` jobs in FactoryCI into a single `test-{lang}-behaviour` job in order to reduce CI bootup and shutdown overhead per test.
+  
+  We also fix mac-x86_64 Python and maven deployment tests by explicitly enforcing the use of Rosetta.
+  
+  
 - **Transition from standalone typedb-common to typeql/common**
 
   We update Bazel dependencies and target paths following the merging of typedb-common into [vaticle/typeql](https://github.com/vaticle/typeql/) (see https://github.com/vaticle/typeql/pull/313).

   - update the release notes documentation links;

+- **Fix Factory merge artifact**
+  
+  We remove stray line in automation.yml that appeared due to an ill-resolved merge.
+  
+- **Fix CircleCI sync dependencies configuration mismatch**
+  
+  The sync-dependencies step in CircleCI used an obsolete setup step which no longer exists. This PR fixes that issue.
+  
 - **Sync dependencies in CI**
 
   We add a sync-dependencies job to be run in CI after successful snapshot and release deployments. The job sends a request to vaticle-bot to update all downstream dependencies.

   Note: this PR does _not_ update the `dependencies` repo dependency. It will be updated automatically by the bot during its first pass.

 - **Refactor npm installation and job limitation to prevent CircleCI OOM**
 
 - **Fix npm installation and Java bootup configurations**
