+2026-03-17 / Release v1.14.9
+----------------------------
+
+* Fixed problem with oiltype set by id being overridden by new seeding
+* Added psutil to pyproject.toml dependencies
+* Horizontal_diffusivity is not anymore a config setting but an environment property.
+
+  * o.set_config('drift:horizontal_diffusivity', <diffusivity>) should be changed to o.set_config('environment:constant:horizontal_diffusivity', <diffusivity>)
+
+* It is now possible to provide element-specific environment configuration through dictionary *environment* as input to seed_elements. Made example_element_dependent_environment.py to illustrate.
+
+  * reader_constant is updated to take element_ID as optional argument to mapping to provide element_ID-dependent constant values (e.g. horizontal_diffusivity).
+
+* opendrift.open() can now also take Xarray dataset as input
+* Providing convex_hull=True to plot method will now plot a convex hull around final positions
+
 2026-01-22 / Release v1.14.8
