+### Added
+
+- [#413](https://github.com/networktocode/pyntc/issues/413) - Added Juniper SRX Chassis Cluster upgrade support when ICU.
+- [#418](https://github.com/networktocode/pyntc/issues/418) - Added the `arista_eos_ssh` device type, an SSH-only Arista EOS driver for environments where eAPI is not enabled; it exposes the same API as `arista_eos_eapi` and obtains structured data via the CLI's `| json` pipe.
+
+### Housekeeping
+
+- Work on trusted publisher for networktocode org.

 Like many libraries, we need to pass in the host/IP and credentials.  Because this is a multi-vendor/API library, we also use the `device_type` parameter to identify which device we are building an instance of.
 
-pyntc currently supports seven device types:
+pyntc currently supports the following device types:
 
 - cisco_aireos_ssh

 - juniper_junos_netconf
 - f5_tmos_icontrol
 
+Arista EOS is supported over two transports. `arista_eos_eapi` uses eAPI (JSON-RPC over HTTP/HTTPS) and requires `management api http-commands` to be enabled on the device. `arista_eos_ssh` uses SSH only, for environments where eAPI is not available; it exposes exactly the same methods and properties as the eAPI driver, so the two are interchangeable.
