 # dm 1.0.7
 
-## Breaking changes
-
-- Breaking change: Add `check_dots_empty()` calls (#1929, #1943).
-
-## Bug fixes
-
-- Snapshot test.
-- Stable sort order in test.
-- Remove unwanted changes.
-- Compatibility with duckdb 0.9.0.
-- Minor fixes in `dm_pack_tbl()` and `dm_unwrap_tbl()` (#1947).
-
 ## Features
 
-- `copy_dm_to()` now warns unconditionally on unsupported arguments, and fails if `copy_to` is provided. Use the new `dm_sql()` function as a replacement for `copy_dm_to(copy_to = )`.
-- Reuse existing `build_copy_queries()` code for `dm_sql()` (#2011).
-- `dm_sql()` returns nested named lists.
+- `copy_dm_to()` now warns unconditionally on unsupported arguments, and fails if `copy_to` is provided (#1944). Use the new `dm_sql()` function as a replacement for `copy_dm_to(copy_to = )` (#1915, #2011).
+
 - New `json_unnest()` and `json_unpack()`, currently implemented for data frames only (#991, #997).
+
 - `dm_rows_append()` also works for local dm, with support for autoincrement primary keys (#1727, #1745).
-- Add `dm_sql()` and friends, still need tests (#1915).
+
 - Breaking change: Add `check_dots_empty()` calls (#1929, #1943).
+
 - Test MySQL on GHA (#1940).
+
 - Improve MySQL compatibility regarding learning of database schemas and checking of constraints (#1938).
