+### Features
+
+* Support conditional mapping for source parameters (#2610, #3459, #3270)
+* Add `@SourcePropertyName` to handle a property name of the source object (#3323) - Currently only applicable for `@Condition` methods
+
+### Enhancements
+
+* Improve error message for mapping to `target = "."` using expression (#3485)
+* Improve error messages for auto generated mappings (#2788)
+* Remove unnecessary casts to long (#3400)
+
+### Bugs
+
+* `@Condition` cannot be used only with `@Context` parameters (#3561)
+* `@Condition` treated as ambiguous mapping for methods returning Boolean/boolean (#3565)
+* Subclass mapping warns about unmapped property that is mapped in referenced mapper (#3360)
+* Interface inherited build method is not found (#3463)
+* Bean with getter returning Stream is treating the Stream as an alternative setter (#3462)
+* Using `Mapping#expression` and `Mapping#conditionalQualifiedBy(Name)` should lead to compile error (#3413)
+* Defined mappings for subclass mappings with runtime exception subclass exhaustive strategy not working if result type is abstract class (#3331)
+
+### Documentation
+
+* Clarify that `Mapping#ignoreByDefault` is inherited in nested mappings in documentation (#3577)
+
+### Build
+
+* Improve tests to show that Lombok `@SuperBuilder` is supported (#3524)
+* Add Java 21 CI matrix build (#3473)
