+
+<h3 id="v25-2-16-bug-fixes">Bug fixes</h3>
+
+- Fixed a bug where CockroachDB did not always promptly respond to the statement timeout when performing a hash join with `ON` filter that is mostly `false`. [#164889][#164889]
+- Fixed a bug that could cause row sampling for table statistics to crash a node due to a data race when processing a collated string column with values larger than 400 bytes. This bug has existed since before v23.1. [#165570][#165570]
+
+<h3 id="v25-2-16-build-changes">Build changes</h3>
+
+- Replaces bors with Trunk merge queue for better performance and reliability. Configuration-only change with no runtime impact - maintains same safety checks while improving CI workflow. [#166565][#166565]
