 # Changes to the UKHPI app by version and date
 
+## 2.0.1 - 2024-12
+
+- (Jon) Improves error metrics reporting to ensure that logging always happens
+  with the appropriate severity depending on the exception status while reducing
+  the types of errors that can trigger a an error metric and therefore a
+  notification in slack
+  [GH-149](https://github.com/epimorphics/hmlr-linked-data/issues/149)
+- (Jon) Updated the `maybe_report_to_sentry` method to call the
+  `instrument_internal_error` method for reporting internal errors to the
+  Prometheus metrics when necessary
+- (Jon) Renamed the `handle_error` method to `handle_exceptions` to better
+  reflect the method's purpose
+
 ## 2.0.0 - 2024-11
 
 - (Bogdan) Updated all gems by regenerating `Gemfile.lock`
