-## Alpha Version Release
+## Public Preview Release
 
-We are excited to announce the release of the alpha version of our driver. This marks a significant milestone in our development journey. While this version is still in the early stages, it includes the foundational code and initial logic that will drive future enhancements.
+We are making progress - The Public Preview of our driver is now available! This marks a significant milestone in our development journey. While we saw a few early adopters of our alpha release, we are introducing the following functionalities to support your applications in a more robust and reliable manner.
 
 ### What's Included:
 
-- Basic functionality to get you started.
-- Initial implementation of core features.
-- Placeholder for future improvements and updates.
+- Everything from alpha
+- MacOS Support: The mssql-python driver now supports macOS on ARM-based systems, enabling seamless development on Apple Silicon (M-series) devices. This milestone strengthens our cross-platform capabilities—and we’re just getting started. Linux support is on the horizon!
+- Connection Pooling: We've introduced a robust and configurable connection pooling system designed to significantly enhance performance and optimize resource utilization. This feature ensures more efficient management of database connections, especially under high-load scenarios
