+2025-07-07 - 2.1.0.122_canary_2025-07-07
+==========
+This release is a canary release intended to be used for testing.
+This version is nearly identical to 2.1.0.121 which has a startup crash.
+
+# Major changes in this version
+
+This version introduces a new SQLite library, a new VSS provider, and some minor bugfixes.
+
+## SQLite update
+This version has changed the SQLite library from the previous System.Data.SQLite library to using `Microsoft.Data.Sqlite`.
+This update was quite invasive, as the new SQLite library does not support positional arguments in SQL queries, which was used extensively in the Duplicati codebase.
+With the update we see measurable speedups across all queries, and we are producing an article that describes our findings.
+The update also bumps the SQLite library to use the latest available version and makes all SQLite queries async and cancelable, making the stop commands more responsive.
+
+## New VSS provider supprt
+The AlphaVSS library that is used for creating VSS snapshots is no longer being maintained.
+This version now defaults to using the Vanara API layer to call the Windows VSS API and create snapshots.
+Like before, this still requires the VC++ Redist to be installed.
+For now, it is still possible to use AlphaVSS by setting `--snapshot-provider=AlphaVSS`.
+Note that neither works on ARM64 as Windows is lacking libraries and tools for native ARM64 snapshots, only `--snapshot-provider=WMIC` works on ARM64.
+
+## Bugfixing for ngclient
+A number of reported compatibility issues with ngax has been fixed in this version.
