+    create a batch of 25 sessions.
+* Emulator:
+  - Run integration tests against the emulator in Kokoro Presubmit.
+* RPC retrying:
+  - Retry CreateDatabase on retryable codes.
+* spannertest:
+  - Change internal representation of DATE/TIMESTAMP values.
+* spansql:
+  - Cleanly parse adjacent comment marker/terminator.
+  - Support FROM aliases in SELECT statements.
+* Misc:
+  - Fix comparing errors in tests.
+  - Fix flaky session pool test.
+  - Increase timeout in TestIntegration_ReadOnlyTransaction.
+  - Fix incorrect instance IDs when deleting instances in tests.
+  - Clean up test instances.
+  - Clearify docs on Aborted transaction.
+  - Fix timeout+staleness bound for test
