+=========================
+
+Notes for 1.8.10
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ 1. The new APIs for bulk-reads, bulk-writes and index cloning should be considered unstable and may change
+    in subsequent releases.
+ 2. Recent refactoring in the XArray library has lead to changes in behaviour that affect some ODC operations
+    and are unlikely to be addressed by the XArray team.  This release includes changes in the way the ODC
+    works with XArray to circumvent these issues. If you experience Xarray issues with this ODC release, please
+    raise an issue on Github and we will try to address them before the next release.
