+----
+
+* Adding peak_memory_usage as a new property of AQL queries, available since ArangoDB 3.11.
+
+* The explain method of AQL queries includes the "stats" field in the returned object. Note that the REST API returns
+  it separately from the "plan" field, but for now we have to merge them together to ensure backward compatibility.
