 * `ColumnFamilyOptions::OldDefaults` and `DBOptions::OldDefaults` are marked deprecated, as they are no longer maintained.
 * Add subcompaction callback APIs: `OnSubcompactionBegin()` and `OnSubcompactionCompleted()`.
 * Add file Temperature information to `FileOperationInfo` in event listener API.
+* Add Temperature hints information from RocksDB in API `NewSequentialFile()`. backup and checkpoint operations need to open the source files with `NewSequentialFile()`, which will have the temperature hints. Other operations are not covered.
 
 ### Behavior Changes
 * Disallow the combination of DBOptions.use_direct_io_for_flush_and_compaction == true and DBOptions.writable_file_max_buffer_size == 0. This combination can cause WritableFileWriter::Append() to loop forever, and it does not make much sense in direct IO.
