+### Added
+
+- NU6-related documentation ([#8949](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/pull/8949))
+- A cookie-based authentication system for the JSON RPC endpoint ([#8900](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/pull/8900), [#8965](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/pull/8965))
+
+### Changed
