+  module). [#3139]
+
+- Add ``TimeMOC`` and ``STMOC`` as possible entries in
+  ``MOCServer.query_region`` to allow temporal and space-time searches. [#3139]
+
+- ``return_moc`` now allows to ask for a Time-MOC or a Space-Time MOC rather
+  than only Space-MOCs. [#3139]
+
+- Fix query by MOC that would write a file ``moc.fits`` where the method
+  was executed in overwriting mode (potentially deleting data if there was
+  a conflicting file). [#3139]
+

+  for the discontinued ones. [#3186]
+
+- Fix the deprecated votable fields ``otype(V)`` and ``otype(S)``. [#3186]
+
+- Fixed non existing flux filters as votable fields would fail silently. [#3186]
+

+  standalone library called dace-query is available to access DACE
+  data. [#3162]
+
+esa.hubble
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Include warning in get_datalabs_path method for ehst when the data volume
+  is not mounted in DataLabs. [#3059]

+
+- New parameter USE_NAMES_OVER_IDS that gives preference to ``name`` over ID
+  attributes of columns as the names of columns in the ``astropy.table.Table``
+  instance. By default, value True is set, that gives name preference. [#2967]
+
+- Change the signature of the method ``load_data``: the parameter
+  ``output_file`` that defined the file where the results were
+  saved, is replaced by boolean parameter ``dump_to_file``, that in case it
+  is true, a compressed directory named "datalink_output.zip" with
+  all the DataLink files is made. So the users cannot specified the output
+  file anymore.  [#3014]
+
+- New retrieval types for datalink (Gaia DR4 release). [#3110]
+
+- The output file name built by the method ``load_data``, includes
+  microsecond resolution. This is based on the previous. [#3130]

+
+- Added ``verbose`` parameter to modulate output in
+  ``mast.observations.download_products`` method. [#3031]
+
+- Fixed bug in ``Catalogs.query_criteria()`` to use ``page`` and
+  ``pagesize`` parameters correctly. [#3065]
+
+- Modified ``mast.Observations.get_cloud_uris`` to also accept query
+  criteria and data product filters. [#3064]
+
+- Increased the speed of ``mast.Observations.get_cloud_uris`` by obtaining
+  multiple URIs from MAST at once. [#3064]
+
+- Raise an error rather than a warning when nonexistent query criteria are
+  used in ``Observations.query_criteria``, ``Catalogs.query_criteria``,
+  ``Catalogs.query_region``, ``Catalogs.query_object``, and
+  ``MastMissions`` query methods,   [#3084, #3126]
+
+- Added support for case-insensitive criteria keyword arguments in
+  ``mast.Observations.query_criteria`` and ``mast.Catalogs.query_criteria``.
+  [#3087]
+
+- Added function ``mast.Observations.get_unique_product_list`` to return the
+  unique data products associated with given observations. [#3096]
+
+- Deprecated ``enable_cloud_dataset`` and ``disable_cloud_dataset`` in
+  classes where they are non-operational. [#3113]
+
+- Handle HLSP data products in ``Observations.get_cloud_uris``. [#3126]
+
+mpc
+^^^
+
+- Rename ``MPC.get_mpc_object_endpoint`` to ``MPC._get_mpc_object_endpoint`` to
+  indicate that it is a private method. [#3089]
+
+- Parse star catalog information when querying observations database. [#2957]
+
+- Parse ephemeris with sky motion with three digit precision. [#3026]
+
+- Raise EmptyResponseError when empty ephemeris response is returned [#3026]

+- Deprecated ``get_raw_response`` parameter from ``MPC.get_observations``. The
+  raw response may be retrieved from the _async() method. [#3089]
+
+- Removed ``get_raw_response`` parameter from ``MPC.get_ephemeris`` and
+  ``MPC.get_observatory_codes`` without deprecation as the parameters were
+  ignored and had no effect. [#3089]
+
+- Fixed bug in ``MPC.get_ephemeris`` that caused the ``cache`` keyword parameter
+  to be ignored. [#3089]
+
+- Removed ``comettype`` parameter from ``MPC.get_observations`` without
+  deprecation: it was undocumented, ignored, and had no effect.  [#3089]
+

+
+simbad
+^^^^^^
+
+- The ``ROW_LIMIT`` value to have the maximum number of rows is now -1.
+  Use ``ROW_LIMIT = 0`` to retrieve the output's meta-data. [#2954]
+
+- ``ROW_LIMIT`` can now be set at instantiation
+  (e.g.: ``simbad = Simbad(ROW_LIMIT=10))``). [#2954]
+
+- ``list_votable_fields`` now return an astropy Table with added fields
+  information instead of a list of strings. [#2954]
+
+- ``list_votable_fields`` is now queried directly from SIMBAD instead of reading
+  a file in astroquery. This prevents it from being outdated. [#2954]
+
+- ``get_votable_fields`` now prints the table name and column name instead of
+  just the column name. [#2954]
+
+- The ``verbose`` and ``cache`` kwargs have been deprecated from all methods
+  as they have no effect with with the new query interface. [#2954]
+
+- ``get_adql`` is deprecated and replaced by ``get_query_payload`` in

+  use astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord directly instead. [#2954]
+
+- ``query_bibcode`` has a new option ``abstract`` that allows to also
+  retrieve the article's abstract. [#2954]
+
+- ``query_bibcode`` output is now in an astropy Table with distinct columns
+  instead of a single one in which all the information was a string. [#2954]
+
+- ``query_criteria`` is now deprecated and should be replaced by either custom
+  TAP queries or by the ``criteria`` argument added in the other query methods.
+  A helper method was added ``astroquery.simbad.utils.CriteriaTranslator`` to
+  translate between the sim-script syntax and the TAP/ADQL syntax. [#2954]
+
+- Fixed ``query_objects`` that would not work in combination with the
+  additional field ``ident``. [#3149]
+
+- Added ``query_hierarchy``: a new method that allows to get the parents,
+  children, or siblings of an object. [#3175]
+
+- Added ``NoResultsWarning`` when a query returns an empty table. [#3068]
+
+skyview
+^^^^^^^

+
+- Changed the type of raised error when the catalog is not found in
+  ``Vizier.get_catalog_metadata`` from ``IndexError`` to
+  ``EmptyResponseError``. [#2980]
+
+- Fixed search by UCD -- they were ignored. [#3147]
+
+- Fixed column names -- some characters were replaced by ``_`` instead of keeping
+  the original name. [#3153]
+
+vsa
+^^^
+
+- Updated base URL to fix 404 responses. [#3033]
+
+xmatch
+^^^^^^
+
+- Fixed xmatch query for two local tables. The second table was written over
+  the first one, resulting in a confusing "missing cat1" error. [#3116]
+
+- Made the error message clearer about VizieR tables not available for
+  crossmatching. [#3168]
+

+
+- Query ``id_type`` behavior has changed:
+    * ``'majorbody'`` and ``'id'`` have been removed and the equivalent
+      functionality replaced with ``None``.  ``None`` implements the Horizons
+      default, which is to search for major bodies first, then fall back to a
+      small body search when no matches are found. Horizons does not have a
+      major body only search. [#2161]
+    * The default value was ``'smallbody'`` but it is now ``None``, which
+      follows Horizons's default behavior. [#2161]
+
+- Fix changes in column names that resulted KeyErrors. [#2202]
+
+jplspec
+^^^^^^^
+
+- JPLSpec now raises an EmptyResponseError if the returned result is empty.

+
+ipac
+^^^^
+
+- As part of the namespace restructure, now modules for the IPAC archives are
+  avalable as: ``ipac.irsa``, ``ipac.ned``, and ``ipac.nexsci``.
+  Additional services have also been moved to their parent organisations'
+  namespace. Acces from the top namespace have been deprecated for the

+
+vo_conesearch
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
