@@ -26,6 +26,8 @@ will consitute of a breaking change warranting a new major release:
   temperature for the all-ones value (0x0fff).
 - Better reply result handling for the ACS board devices.
 - ADIS1650X initial timeout handling now performed in device handler.
+- The RW assembly and TCS board assembly now perform proper power switch handling for their

 ## Changed
 
@@ -33,6 +35,8 @@ will consitute of a breaking change warranting a new major release:
   the active SD card is switched or there is a transition from hot redundant to cold redundant mode.
   This gives other tasks some time to register the SD cards being unusable, and therefore provides
   a way for them to perform any re-initialization tasks necessary after SD card switches.
+- The TCS controller pauses operations related to the TCS board assembly (reading sensors and 
+  the primary control loop) while a TCS board recovery is on-going.
