+## [v2.10.0rc1] - 2025-09-11

 ### Added
 - Added rectangular and radial taper support to `RectangularAntennaArrayCalculator` for phased array amplitude weighting; refactored array factor calculation for improved clarity and performance. 
 - Selective simulation capabilities to `TerminalComponentModeler` via `run_only` and `element_mappings` fields, allowing users to run fewer simulations and extract only needed scattering matrix elements.

 - Added autograd support for sidewall angles in `td.Cylinder` and `td.PolySlab`.
 
 ### Changed
-- Validate mode solver object for large number of grid points on the modal plane.
 - Adaptive minimum spacing for `PolySlab` integration is now wavelength relative and a minimum discretization is set for computing gradients for cylinders.
 - The `TerminalComponentModeler` defaults to the pseudo wave definition of scattering parameters. The new field `s_param_def` can be used to switch between either pseudo or power wave definitions.
 - Restructured the smatrix plugin with backwards-incompatible changes for a more robust architecture. Notably, `ComponentModeler` has been renamed to `ModalComponentModeler` and internal web API methods have been removed. Please see our migration guide for details on updating your workflows.
 - Prevent small bandwidth sources from being created in `TerminalComponentModeler` when modeler frequencies are close together.
 
+### Fixed
+- Bug in `TerminalComponentModeler.get_antenna_metrics_data` when port amplitudes are set to zero.
+- Added missing `solver_version` keyword argument to `run_async`.
+- Fixed `interpn` data array method to be compatible with extrapolation outside of data array coordinates.
+- Fixed `overlap_sort` to use the same value of the `conjugated_dot_product` field in `ModeMonitor`, and added the `conjugated_dot_product` field to `ModeSolver` and `ModeSimulation`.
+
+
+
+## [v2.9.1] - 2025-08-13
+
+### Changed
+- Validate mode solver object for large number of grid points on the modal plane.
+
 ### Fixed
 - Fixed missing amplitude factor and handling of negative normal direction case when making adjoint sources from `DiffractionMonitor`.
 - Improved the robustness of batch jobs. The batch state, including all `task_ids`, is now saved to `batch.hdf5` immediately after upload. This fixes an issue where an interrupted batch (e.g., due to a kernel crash or network loss) would be unrecoverable.

 - Removed sources from `sim_inf_structure` simulation object in `postprocess_adj` to avoid source and background medium validation errors.
 - Revert overly restrictive validation of `freqs` in the `ComponentModeler` and `TerminalComponentModeler`.
 - Fixed `ElectromagneticFieldData.to_zbf()` to support single frequency monitors and apply the correct flattening order.
-- Bug in `TerminalComponentModeler.get_antenna_metrics_data` when port amplitudes are set to zero.
