 ### Features
-- Enable sorting and search_after features in Hybrid Search [#827](https://github.com/opensearch-project/neural-search/pull/827)
 ### Enhancements
-- InferenceProcessor inherits from AbstractBatchingProcessor to support sub batching in processor [#820](https://github.com/opensearch-project/neural-search/pull/820)
-- Adds dynamic knn query parameters efsearch and nprobes [#814](https://github.com/opensearch-project/neural-search/pull/814/)
-- Enable '.' for nested field in text embedding processor ([#811](https://github.com/opensearch-project/neural-search/pull/811))
 ### Bug Fixes
-- Fix for missing HybridQuery results when concurrent segment search is enabled ([#800](https://github.com/opensearch-project/neural-search/pull/800))
 ### Infrastructure
-- Add BWC for batch ingestion ([#769](https://github.com/opensearch-project/neural-search/pull/769))
