 Only accretive/fixative changes will be made from now on.
 
 * 1.3.next in progress
+  * Address [#288](https://github.com/seancorfield/next-jdbc/issues/288) by adding speculative support for `:dbtype "xtdb"`.
   * Fix [#287](https://github.com/seancorfield/next-jdbc/issues/287) by merging user-supplied options over `:return-keys true`.
   * Fix [#282](https://github.com/seancorfield/next-jdbc/issues/282) by tracking raw `Connection` objects for active TXs, which relaxes several of the conditions around nested transactions.
