+## [1.14.0](https://github.com/open-feature/java-sdk/compare/v1.13.0...v1.14.0) (2025-01-10)
+
+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+The signature of the `finallyAfter` hook stage has been changed. The signature now includes the `evaluation details`, as per the [OpenFeature specification](https://openfeature.dev/specification/sections/hooks#requirement-438). Note that since hooks are still `experimental,` this does not constitute a change requiring a new major version. To migrate, update any hook that implements the `finallyAfter` stage to accept `evaluation details` as the second argument.
+
+* Add evaluation details to finally hook stage [#1246](https://github.com/open-feature/java-sdk/issues/1246) ([#1262](https://github.com/open-feature/java-sdk/issues/1262)) ([ae85278](https://github.com/open-feature/java-sdk/commit/ae85278c30eb5279b80ea73ec6b92db040ad0bb7))

 Further, it is recommended to verify code styling and static code analysis with `mvn verify -P !deploy`.
 Regardless, the automation itself will run them for you when you open a PR.
 
+> [!TIP]
+> For easier usage maven wrapper is available. Example usage: `./mvnw verify`
+
 Your code is supposed to work with Java 8+.
 
 If you think we might be out of date with the spec, you can check that by invoking `python spec_finder.py` in the root of the repository. This will validate we have tests defined for all of the specification entries we know about.
 
 If you're adding tests to cover something in the spec, use the `@Specification` annotation like you see throughout the test suites.
 
+## Code Styles
+
+### Overview
+Our project follows strict code formatting standards to maintain consistency and readability across the codebase. We use [Spotless](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless) integrated with the [Palantir Java Format](https://github.com/palantir/palantir-java-format) for code formatting.
+
+**Spotless** ensures that all code complies with the formatting rules automatically, reducing style-related issues during code reviews.
+
+### How to Format Your Code
+1. **Before Committing Changes:**
+   Run the Spotless plugin to format your code. This will apply the Palantir Java Format style:
+   ```bash
+   mvn spotless:apply
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify Formatting:**
+   To check if your code adheres to the style guidelines without making changes:
+   ```bash
+   mvn spotless:check
+   ```
+
+    - If this command fails, your code does not follow the required formatting. Use `mvn spotless:apply` to fix it.
+
+### CI/CD Integration
+Our Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline automatically checks code formatting using the Spotless plugin. Any code that does not pass the `spotless:check` step will cause the build to fail.
+
+### Best Practices
+- Regularly run `mvn spotless:apply` during your work to ensure your code remains aligned with the standards.
+- Configure your IDE (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse) to follow the Palantir Java format guidelines to reduce discrepancies during development.
+
+### Support
+If you encounter issues with code formatting, please raise a GitHub issue or contact the maintainers.
+
 ## End-to-End Tests
 
-The continuous integration runs a set of [gherkin e2e tests](https://github.com/open-feature/test-harness/blob/main/features/evaluation.feature) using `InMemoryProvider`.

 to run alone:
 ```
 mvn test -P e2e
 ```
 
+## Benchmarking
+
+There is a small JMH benchmark suite for testing allocations that can be run with:
+
+```sh
+mvn -P benchmark clean compile test-compile jmh:benchmark -Djmh.f=1  -Djmh.prof='dev.openfeature.sdk.benchmark.AllocationProfiler'
+```
+
+If you are concerned about the repercussions of a change on memory usage, run this an compare the results to the committed. `benchmark.txt` file.
+Note that the ONLY MEANINGFUL RESULTS of this benchmark are the `totalAllocatedBytes` and the `totalAllocatedInstances`.
+The `run` score, and maven task time are not relevant since this benchmark is purely memory-related and has nothing to do with speed.
+You can also view the heap breakdown to see which objects are taking up the most memory.

+### Tracking
+
+The [tracking API](https://openfeature.dev/specification/sections/tracking/) allows you to use OpenFeature abstractions to associate user actions with feature flag evaluations.
+This is essential for robust experimentation powered by feature flags. Note that, unlike methods that handle feature flag evaluations, calling `track(...)` may throw an `IllegalArgumentException` if an empty string is passed as the `trackingEventName`.
+
+```java
+OpenFeatureAPI api = OpenFeatureAPI.getInstance();
+api.getClient().track("visited-promo-page", new MutableTrackingEventDetails(99.77).add("currency", "USD"));
+```
+
 ### Logging
 
 The Java SDK uses SLF4J. See the [SLF4J manual](https://slf4j.org/manual.html) for complete documentation.
+Note that in accordance with the OpenFeature specification, the SDK doesn't generally log messages during flag evaluation.
+
+#### Logging Hook
+
+The Java SDK includes a `LoggingHook`, which logs detailed information at key points during flag evaluation, using SLF4J's structured logging API.
+This hook can be particularly helpful for troubleshooting and debugging; simply attach it at the global, client or invocation level and ensure your log level is set to "debug".
+
+See [hooks](#hooks) for more information on configuring hooks.

+REMEMBER: The numbers below are just data. To gain reusable insights, you need to follow up on
+why the numbers are the way they are. Use profilers (see -prof, -lprof), design factorial
+experiments, perform baseline and negative tests that provide experimental control, make sure
+the benchmarking environment is safe on JVM/OS/HW level, ask for reviews from the domain experts.
+Do not assume the numbers tell you what you want them to tell.
+
+NOTE: Current JVM experimentally supports Compiler Blackholes, and they are in use. Please exercise
+extra caution when trusting the results, look into the generated code to check the benchmark still
+works, and factor in a small probability of new VM bugs. Additionally, while comparisons between
+different JVMs are already problematic, the performance difference caused by different Blackhole
+modes can be very significant. Please make sure you use the consistent Blackhole mode for comparisons.
