Release Notes
=============

2.10.0 (Upcoming)
-----------------

Minor changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Added optional ``rrid`` attribute to ``Subject.strain`` to store Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs)
for animal strains (e.g., 'RRID:IMSR_JAX:000664'). This enables standardized identification and
referencing of strains, facilitating integration with DANDI metadata and allowing queries by strain. (#652)


2.9.0 (June 26, 2025)
