 * None.
 
 ### Fixed
-* None.
+* Use 16 KB ELF packaging for native artifacts produced by `realm-library`, allowing them to be loaded on devices with 16 KB memory page sizes. (Issue [#7894](https://github.com/realm/realm-java/issues/7894))
 
 ### Compatibility
 * File format: Generates Realms with format v23. Unsynced Realms will be upgraded from Realm Java 2.0 and later. Synced Realms can only be read and upgraded if created with Realm Java v10.0.0-BETA.1.
