 ## [Unreleased] - updates in preparation for Habeas release
 [Unreleased]: https://github.com/CDRH/api/compare/v1.0.4...dev
 
+### Added
+- "api_version" added to all response "res" objects
+
 ### Changed
 - upgraded to Rails 6
+- Added support for aggregating buckets by normalized keyword and returning
+  the "top_hits" first document result for a non-normalized display
+- Changes response format of `facets` key
+  
+  From:
+  ```
+  "facets": {
+    "WILLA CATHER": 10,
+    "Willa Cather": 50
+  }
+  ```
+  To:
+  ```
+  "facets": {
+    "willa cather": { "num" : 60, source: "Willa Cather" }
+  }
+  ```
+  Not only is the response format itself different, but there may be fewer
+  facets returned since normalized values which match are combined
