 * Updated the ``splink`` FERC to EIA development notebook to be compatible with
   the latest version of ``splink``. This notebook is not run in production but
   is helpful for visualizing model weights and what is happening under the hood.
+* Updated ``pudl.analysis.record_linkage.name_cleaner`` company name cleaning
+  module to be more efficient by removing all ``.apply`` and instead use
+  ``pd.Series.replace`` to make regex replacement rules vectorized. Also removed
+  some of the allowed replacement rules to make the cleaner simpler and more
+  effective. This module runs approximately 3x faster now when cleaning a
+  string Series.
