 # Changelog
 
+### Release 2.2.6 (November 6, 2019)
+[Milestone#43](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/milestone/43)
+* Updating the SDK version to 2.9.25.
+  * [PR#638](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/pull/638)
+* Clearing the local cache on a subscription termination, to avoid noisy logs on new subscriptions.
+  * [PR#642](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/pull/642)
+* Updating the SDK version to 2.10.0 in order to fix the premature H2 stream close issue.
+  * [PR#649](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/pull/649)
+  * NOTE: SDK has a known connection teardown issue when multiple H2 streams are used within a connection. This might result in shard consumers sticking to a stale service host and not progressing. If your shard consumer gets stuck, use the following configuration as a workaround. This configuration might result in up to 5X increase in total connections.
