 ==============================
 
 Caterva2 is a high-performance storage and computation system for
 Blosc2 data repositories.
 
 This is a minor release that includes several bug fixes and
-improvements in the web UI.  It also includes a new `Client` class
-to handle the connection to the server, and a new `Dataset.slice()`
-and `Dataset.append()` methods to slice and append data to a dataset.
-
-Important: this release includes a breaking change in the API.  The
-previous way to authenticate and connect to the server has been
-removed, so you need to migrate your code to use the new `Client`.
-See the release notes for more details.
+improvements in the web UI.  In particular, the `Client.lazyexpr`
+method has made the `operands` parameter optional (it was required),
+and it gained a new `compute` parameter, which allows to compute the
+lazy expression immediately, if desired.
+
+Important: this release includes a breaking change in the client server
+communication, so your will need to update the client package to
+version 2025.5.2 or later for a smoother experience.

 # Release notes
 
+## Changes from 2025.04.09 to 2025.5.2
+
+### API changes
+
+* The `Client.lazyexpr` method has made `operands` param optional
+  (it was required).  This allows to create lazy expressions without
+  operands, which is useful for creating empty datasets.  It also gained
+
+* Also, the `Client.lazyexpr` method a new `compute` parameter,
+  which allows to compute the lazy expression immediately.  The default is
+  `False`, which means that the lazy expression is created but not computed.
+
+### Others
+
+* Lazy expressions are more tolerant now when an operand disappears
+  (e.g. when a dataset is deleted).  The lazy expression cannot be used,
+  but can still be introspected.
+
+* Now it is possible to make the logo configurable for the web client.  The
+  logo can be dropped in `[statedir]/media/logo.png`, in the `[subscriber]`
+  section of the config file.  The logo must be a PNG/JPEG/WEBP file, and it
+  will be resized to fit the header.
+
+* The Prompt box has more space now.
