 * Opening realm with file format 23 or lower (Realm .NET versions earlier than 12.0.0) in read-only mode will crash. (Core 14.0.0)
 
 ### Enhancements
-* Added support for list and dictionaries of `RealmValue` (`IList<RealmValue>` and `IDictionary<string, RealmValue>`) to be contained in a `RealmValue`. Lists and dictionaries can contain an arbitrary number of collections themselves. It is possible to convert an existing collection to a `RealmValue` using the new static methods `RealmValue.List` and `RealmValue.Dictionary` or using the implicit operators if converting from common types like `List`, `RealmValue[]` or `Dictionary`. Finally, it is possible to obtain the contained collections by using the new conversion method `AsList` and `AsDictionary`. For example:
-
-  ```csharp
-  var list = new List<RealmValue> { 1, true, "stringVal" };
-
-  var rvo = realm.Write(() =>
-  {
-      return realm.Add(new RealmValueObject { RealmValueProperty = list});
-  });
-
-  var retrievedList = rvo.RealmValueProperty.AsList();
-  ```
-  (PR [#3441](https://github.com/realm/realm-dotnet/pull/3441))
 * Reduced memory usage of `RealmValue`. (PR [#3441](https://github.com/realm/realm-dotnet/pull/3441))
 * Add support for passing a key paths collection (`KeyPathsCollection`) when using `IRealmCollection.SubscribeForNotifications`. Passing a `KeyPathsCollection` allows to specify which changes in properties should raise a notification.
