-### New features
+### ✨ New features
+
 - [core] Port line-sort-key and fill-sort-key ([#15839](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/15839))
 
   The new feature allows to sort line and fill layer features. Similar to `symbol-sort-key`.

   This patch introduces batch conversion between LatLng and ScreenCoordinate in Gl-Native core, so for multiple conversions with single point/latLng previously now it can be done with invoking one function call by passing vector of points/latLngs.
 
-### Bug fixes

 - [core] Stable position of labels at tile borders in tile mode ([#16040](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/16040))
 
   These changes allow to avoid cutting-off labels on tile borders if the variable text placement is enabled.

   This fixes rendering by account for the 1px texture padding around icons that were stretched with icon-text-fit.

 - [core] Calculate GeoJSON tile geometries in a background thread ([#15953](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/15953))
 
   Call `mapbox::geojsonvt::GeoJSONVT::getTile()` in a background thread, so that the rendering thread is not blocked.

   Before this fix, repeated request for an already obtained image was erroneously treated as pending, and it prevented from the tiles load completion.
 
-### Architectural changes
-- [core] Remove Map::cycleDebugOptions ([#16005](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/16005))
-
-  This function was mostly used by the Android API, which is no longer necessary.
+### 🧩  Architectural changes
 
 - [core] Merge style::Layer::set{Layout,Paint}Property ([#15997](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/15997))
 
 - [core] Use expected.hpp from mapbox-base ([#15898](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/15898))
+
+##### ⚠️  Breaking changes
+
+- [core] Refactor DefaultFileSource codebase ([#15768](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/15768)) 
+  - Adds `FileSourceManager` interface that provides access to `FileSource` instances and means of registering / unregistering `FileSource` factories
+  - Splits `DefaultFileSource` into smaller parts
+  - Adds `DatabaseFileSource` interface and it's default implementation
+  - Removes inter-dependencies between concrete `FileSource` classes
+  - All sources operate on dedicated thread, except `MainResourceLoader` that acts as a dispatcher and works on thread that requested it.
+  - Removes `ResourceOptions::withCacheOnlyRequestsSupport` method
