+<ul>
+<li>
+<details>
+<summary>Endpoint-Level Rate Limits for Client Control</summary>

+</details>
+</li>
+<li>
+<details>
+<summary>JSON Format for Gateway Logs</summary>
+
+The Tyk Gateway now supports logging in JSON format. To enable this feature, set the environment variable TYK_GW_LOGFORMAT to json. If a different value is provided, the logs will default to the standard format. This enhancement allows for improved log processing and integration with various monitoring tools.

+Each change log item should be expandable. The first line summarises the changelog entry. It should be then possible to expand this to reveal further details about the changelog item. This is achieved using HTML as shown in the example below. -->
+<ul>
+<li>
+<details>
+<summary>Improved Gateway Synchronization with MDCB for Policies and APIs</summary>
+
+We have enhanced the Tyk Gateway's synchronization with MDCB to ensure more reliable loading of policies and APIs. A synchronous initialization process has been implemented to prevent startup failures and reduce the risk of service disruptions caused by asynchronous operations. This update ensures smoother and more consistent syncing of policies and APIs from MDCB.
+</details>
+</li>
+<li>
+<details>
+<summary>Quota Limit Respected During Spike Tests</summary>
+
+We have fixed an issue where the quota limit was not being consistently respected during spike tests, especially in deployments with multiple gateways. The problem occurred when multiple gateways cached the current and remaining quota counters at the end of quota periods. To address this, a distributed lock mechanism has been implemented, ensuring coordinated quota resets and preventing discrepancies across gateways.
+</details>
+</li>
+
+<li>
+<details>
+<summary>Performance Improvement: Restored Key Creation Speed in Gateway 4.0.13 and Later</summary>
+
+We have addressed a performance regression in gateway versions 4.0.13 and later, where key creation for policies with a large number of APIs (100+) became significantly slower. The operation, which previously took around 1.5 seconds in versions 4.0.0 to 4.0.12, was taking over 20 seconds in versions 4.0.13 and beyond. This issue has been resolved by optimizing Redis operations during key creation, restoring the process to its expected speed of approximately 1.5 seconds, even with a large number of APIs in the policy.
+</details>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<!-- #### Security Fixes -->
+<!-- This section should be a bullet point list that should be included when any security fixes have been made in the release, e.g. CVEs. For CVE fixes, consideration needs to be made as follows:
+1. Dependency-tracked CVEs - External-tracked CVEs should be included on the release note.
+2. Internal scanned CVEs - Refer to the relevant engineering and delivery policy.
+
+For agreed CVE security fixes, provide a link to the corresponding entry on the NIST website. For example:
+
+- Fixed the following CVEs:
+    - [CVE-2022-33082](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-33082)
+-->
+
+<!-- <ul>
+<li>
+<details>
+<summary>Add a new CVE list</summary>
+
+Fixed the following high priority CVEs identified in the Tyk Gateway, providing increased protection against security vulnerabilities:
+- [CVE to add](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-39325)
