 ## Unreleased
 
+## [0.23.0] - 2024-11-16
+
+* Refine the behavior of `update_record_with_output` / `--override`
+  - runner: Previously, `query` returning 0 rows will become `statement ok`. Now it returns `statement count 0`.
+  - bin: Now `--override` will not change the type chars of `query <types>`, since in practice
+    it becomes `?`s which might cause confusion.
+
 ## [0.22.1] - 2024-11-11
 
 * engines/bin: fix compatibility with the new tokio-postgres minor version.
