 Changelog
 =========
 
+.. _changelog-v2-5-0:
+
+v2.5.0
+------
+
+Highlights
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+-  The new preprocessor :func:`~esmvalcore.preprocessor.extract_location` can extract arbitrary locations on the Earth using the `geopy <https://pypi.org/project/geopy/>`__ package that connects to OpenStreetMap. For details, see :ref:`Extract location <extract_location>`.
+-  Time ranges can now be extracted using the `ISO 8601 format <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601>`_. In addition, wildcards are allowed, which makes the time selection much more flexible. For details, see :ref:`Recipe section: Datasets <Datasets>`.
+-  The new preprocessor :func:`~esmvalcore.preprocessor.ensemble_statistics` can calculate arbitrary statitics over all ensemble members of a simulation. In addition, the preprocessor :func:`~esmvalcore.preprocessor.multi_model_statistics` now accepts the keyword ``groupy``, which allows the calculation of multi-model statistics over arbitrary multi-model ensembles. For details, see :ref:`Ensemble statistics <ensemble statistics>` and :ref:`Multi-model statistics <multi-model statistics>`.
+
+This release includes
+
+Backwards incompatible changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+-  Update Cordex section in  `config-developer.yml` (`#1303 <https://github.com/ESMValGroup/ESMValCore/pull/1303>`__) `francesco-cmcc <https://github.com/francesco-cmcc>`__. This changes the naming convention of ESMValCore's output files from CORDEX dataset. This only affects recipes that use CORDEX data. Most likely, no changes in diagnostics are necessary; however, if code relies on the specific naming convention of files, it might need to be adapted.
+
