 # [Unreleased](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/)
 
 ## Features
+
 - Added sensitivity calculation support for `pybamm.Simulation` and `pybamm.Experiment` ([#4415](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/4415))
 - Added OpenMP parallelization to IDAKLU solver for lists of input parameters ([#4449](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/4449))
+- Added a lithium ion equivalent circuit model with split open circuit voltages for each electrode (`SplitOCVR`). ([#4330](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/4330))
 
 ## Optimizations
+
 - Removed the `start_step_offset` setting and disabled minimum `dt` warnings for drive cycles with the (`IDAKLUSolver`). ([#4416](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/4416))
 
 ## Features
@@ -12,10 +15,10 @@
 - Added phase-dependent particle options to LAM #4369
 
 ## Breaking changes
+
 - The parameters "... electrode OCP entropic change [V.K-1]" and "... electrode volume change" are now expected to be functions of stoichiometry only instead of functions of both stoichiometry and maximum concentration ([#4427](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/4427))
 - Renamed `set_events` function to `add_events_from` to better reflect its purpose. ([#4421](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/4421))
