 - [15909](https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/pull/15909): a change which
 drops a uniqueness criterion (which may or may not have existed) to the tables table. This constraint was obsolete as it is handled by the ORM due to differences in how MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc. handle uniqueness for NULL values.
 
-- [15927](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/15927): Upgrades Celery to 5.x. Per the [upgrading](https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/stable/history/whatsnew-5.0.html#upgrading-from-celery-4-x) instructions Celery 5.0 introduces a new CLI implementation which is not completely backwards compatible. Please ensure global options are positioned before the sub-command.

 - [13772](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/13772): Row level security (RLS) is now enabled by default. To activate the feature, please run `superset init` to expose the RLS menus to Admin users.
 
 - [13980](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/13980): Data health checks no longer use the metadata database as an interim cache. Though non-breaking, deployments which implement complex logic should likely memoize the callback function. Refer to documentation in the confg.py file for more detail.
