-* Adding peak_memory_usage as a new property of AQL queries, available since ArangoDB 3.11.
+* The db.version() now has a new optional parameter "details" that can be used to return additional information about
+  the server version. The default is still false, so the old behavior is preserved.
+
+* Added 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.
