+- **Testing**
+
+  There are a lot of improvements to the testing tools and test formats.
+  In particular, big portion of evmone's unit tests has been re-shaped
+  to have a structure of State Tests or EOF Validation Tests.
+
+  Moreover, we added the option to export these tests to JSON and the archive
+  of the exported tests ("fixture") is the artifact of this release.
+
+  Upgraded external test suites:
+  - [ethereum/tests][Ethereum Execution Tests]: [14.0][tests 14.0]
+  - [Execution Spec Tests]: [3.0.0][Execution Spec Tests 3.0.0]
+
+  Other details:
+  - Add some missing State Test export features.

+  - Check for unexpected `EF` prefix in test code.
+    [#809](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone/pull/809)
+  - EOF Validation Test fixture.

+  - Output failed test case index in EOF Validation Tests.
+    [#820](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone/pull/820)
+  - Add `ExportableFixture` for JSON tests exporting.
+    [#821](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone/pull/821)
+  - Recognize all official fork/revision names.

+    [#927](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone/pull/927)
+  - EOF Validation Tests runner: support "initcode" flag.
+    [#936](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone/pull/936)
+  - `evmone-blockchaintest`: Simplify genesis handling.
+    [#954](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone/pull/954)
