 # Version changelog
 
+## 0.2.5
+
+* Fixed PyPI badge ([#72](https://github.com/databrickslabs/lsql/issues/72)). In this release, we have implemented a fix to the PyPI badge in the README file of our open-source library. The PyPI badge displays the version of the package and serves as a quick reference for users. This fix ensures the accuracy and proper functioning of the badge, without involving any changes to the functionality or methods within the project. Software engineers can be assured that this update is limited to the README file, specifically the PyPI badge, and will not affect the overall functionality of the library.
+* Fixed `no-cheat` check ([#71](https://github.com/databrickslabs/lsql/issues/71)). In this release, we have made improvements to the `no-cheat` verification process for new code. Previously, the check for disabling the linter was prone to false positives when the string '# pylint: disable' appeared for reasons other than disabling the linter. The updated code now includes an additional filter to exclude the string `CHEAT` from the search, and the number of characters in the output is counted using the `wc -c` command. If the count is not zero, the script will terminate with an error message. This change enhances the accuracy of the `no-cheat` check, ensuring that the linter is being used correctly and that all new code meets our quality standards.
+* Removed upper bound on `sqlglot` dependency ([#70](https://github.com/databrickslabs/lsql/issues/70)). In this update, we have removed the upper bound on the `sqlglot` dependency version in the project's `pyproject.toml` file. Previously, the version constraint required `sqlglot` to be at least 22.3.1 but less than 22.5.0. With this modification, there will be no upper limit, enabling the project to utilize any version greater than or equal to 22.3.1. This change provides the project with the flexibility to take advantage of future bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features available in newer `sqlglot` package versions. Developers should thoroughly test the updated package version to ensure compatibility with the existing codebase.

 ## 0.2.4
 
 * Fixed `Builder` object is not callable error ([#67](https://github.com/databrickslabs/lsql/issues/67)). In this release, we have made an enhancement to the `Backends` class in the `databricks/labs/lsql/backends.py` file. The `DatabricksSession.builder()` method call in the `__init__` method has been changed to `DatabricksSession.builder`. This update uses the `builder` attribute to create a new instance of `DatabricksSession` without calling it like a function. The `sdk_config` method is then used to configure the instance with the required settings. Finally, the `getOrCreate` method is utilized to obtain a `SparkSession` object, which is then passed as a parameter to the parent class constructor. This modification simplifies the code and eliminates the error caused by treating the `builder` attribute as a callable object. Software engineers may benefit from this change by having a more streamlined and error-free codebase when working with the open-source library.
