+Features
+* Added CMIP7 Fortran examples for regular grids, pressure levels, scalar height coordinates, basin axes, hybrid sigma levels, curvilinear grids, and fixed fields. ([#977][pr-977]{:target="_blank"})
+  * The Fortran examples include a shared helper module, a run script, and nightly-build coverage.
+* Added CMIP7 Python examples matching the new Fortran example coverage. ([#978][pr-978]{:target="_blank"})
+* Added example CMIP7 cmorizing notebooks using real model-data excerpts, including regular lat-lon data, pressure levels, hybrid sigma coordinates, basin axes, land-use fractions, and non-lat-lon sea-ice data. ([#976][pr-976]{:target="_blank"})
+
+Bugfixes
+* CMOR now checks CV JSON strings and keys against the 1023-character limit before copying them into fixed-size strings, preventing crashes and reporting the offending value in the error message. ([#985][pr-985]{:target="_blank"})
+* The Fortran `cmor_dataset_json` wrapper now returns a reliable status code. ([#977][pr-977]{:target="_blank"})
+
+Changes
+* Concatenated variable `comment` attributes now identify the source table by file name instead of using `activity_id`. ([#984][pr-984]{:target="_blank"})
+  * Example output now uses text like `CMIP6_Amon.json comment: ...`.
+* Error and warning color formatting is now only emitted for terminal output, avoiding ANSI color characters in log files. ([#985][pr-985]{:target="_blank"})
