 ### New Features:
 - Added keyword only argument `statement_params` to the following methods to allow for specifying statement level parameters:
   - `collect`, `to_local_iterator`, `to_pandas`, `to_pandas_batches`,
   `count`, `copy_into_table`, `show`, `create_or_replace_view`, `create_or_replace_temp_view`, `first`, `cache_result`
-  and `random_split` on class `snowflake.snowpark.Dateframe`
-  - `update`, `delete` and `merge` on class `snowflake.snowpark.Table`
-  - `save_as_table` and `copy_into_location` on class `snowflake.snowpark.DataFrameWriter`
-  - `approx_quantile`, `statement_params`, `cov` and `crosstab` on class `snowflake.snowpark.DataFrameStatFunctions`
-  - `register` and `register_from_file` on class `snowflake.snowpark.udf.UDFRegistration`
-  - `register` and `register_from_file` on class `snowflake.snowpark.udtf.UDTFRegistration`
-  - `register` and `register_from_file` on class `snowflake.snowpark.stored_procedure.StoredProcedureRegistration`
-  - `udf`, `udtf` and `sproc` in `snowflake.snowpark.functions`
+  and `random_split` on class `snowflake.snowpark.Dateframe`.
+  - `update`, `delete` and `merge` on class `snowflake.snowpark.Table`.
+  - `save_as_table` and `copy_into_location` on class `snowflake.snowpark.DataFrameWriter`.
+  - `approx_quantile`, `statement_params`, `cov` and `crosstab` on class `snowflake.snowpark.DataFrameStatFunctions`.
+  - `register` and `register_from_file` on class `snowflake.snowpark.udf.UDFRegistration`.
+  - `register` and `register_from_file` on class `snowflake.snowpark.udtf.UDTFRegistration`.
+  - `register` and `register_from_file` on class `snowflake.snowpark.stored_procedure.StoredProcedureRegistration`.
+  - `udf`, `udtf` and `sproc` in `snowflake.snowpark.functions`.
+- Added support for `Column` as an input argument to `session.call()`.
+- Added support for `table_type` in `df.write.save_as_table()`. You can now choose from these `table_type` options: `"temporary"`, `"temp"`, and `"transient"`.
+
+### Improvements:
+- Added validation of object name in `session.use_*` methods.
+- Updated the query tag in SQL to escape it when it has special characters.
+- Added a check to see if Anaconda terms are acknowledged when adding missing packages.
+
+### Bug Fixes:
+- Fixed the limited length of the string column in `session.create_dataframe()`.
+- Fixed a bug in which `session.create_dataframe()` mistakenly converted 0 and `False` to `None` when the input data was only a list.
+- Fixed a bug in which calling `session.create_dataframe()` using a large local dataset sometimes created a temp table twice.
+- Aligned the definition of `function.trim()` with the SQL function definition.
+- Fixed an issue where snowpark-python would hang when using the Python system-defined (built-in function) `sum` vs. the Snowpark `function.sum()`.

   - Updated `Session.table_function()` and `DataFrame.join_table_function()` to accept `TableFunctionCall` instances.
 
 ### Breaking Changes:
-- Wnen creating a function with `functions.udf()` and `functions.sproc()`, you can now specify an empty list for the `imports` or `packages` argument to indicate that no import or package is used for this UDF or stored procedure. Previously, specifying an empty list meant that the function would use session-level imports or packages.

Previously, specifying an empty list meant that the function would use session-level imports or packages.
 - Improved the `__repr__` implementation of data types in `types.py`. The unused `type_name` property has been removed.
 - Added a Snowpark-specific exception class for SQL errors. This replaces the previous `ProgrammingError` from the Python connector.
