+- v3.1.0a1(July 24, 2023)
+  - Version 3.1.0a1 is our first efforts to build snowflake-connector-python based on apache nanoarrow project, which
 reduces the package size as well as removes a hard dependency on a specific version of pyarrow.
-
-- v3.0.5(TBD)
-  - Added a feature that lets you add connection definitions to the `config.toml` configuration file. A connection definition refers to a collection of connection parameters. The connection configuration name must begin with **connections**, similar to the following that defines the parameters for the `prod` connection:
-
-    ```toml
-    [connections.prod]
-    account = "my_account"
-    user = "my_user"
-    password = "my_password"
-    ```
-    By default, we look for the `config.toml` file in the location specified in the `SNOWFLAKE_HOME` environment variable (default: `~/.snowflake`). If this folder does not exist, the Python connector looks for the file in the `platformdirs` location, as follows:
-
-    - On Linux: `~/.config/snowflake/`,  but follows XDG settings
-    - On Mac: `~/Library/Application Support/snowflake/`
-    - On Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\snowflake\`
-
-    You can determine which file is used by running the following command:
-
-    ```
-    python -c "from snowflake.connector.constants import CONFIG_FILE; print(str(CONFIG_FILE))"
-    ```
-  - Bumped cryptography dependency from <41.0.0,>=3.1.0 to >=3.1.0,<42.0.0.
-  - Improved OCSP response caching to remove tmp cache files on Windows.
-  - Improved OCSP response caching to reduce the times of disk writing.
-  - Added a parameter `server_session_keep_alive` in `SnowflakeConnection` that skips session deletion when client connection closes.
-  - Tightened our pinning of platformdirs, to prevent their new releases breaking us.
-  - Fixed a bug where SFPlatformDirs would incorrectly append application_name/version to its path.
-  - Added retry reason for queries that are retried by the client.
-  - Fixed a bug where `write_pandas` fails when user does not have the privilege to create stage or file format in the target schema, but has the right privilege for the current schema.
-  - Remove Python 3.7 support.
-  - Worked around a segfault which sometimes occurred during cache serialization in multi-threaded scenarios.
-  - Improved error handling of connection reset error.
-  - Fixed a bug about deleting the temporary files happened when running PUT command.
-  - Allowed to pass `type_mapper` to `fetch_pandas_batches()` and `fetch_pandas_all()`.
-  - Fixed a bug where pickle.dump segfaults during cache serialization in multi-threaded scenarios.
