@@ -16,9 +16,11 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.
 - Update default Questasim version to 2022.3
 - Decrease stack size to 128 words
 - Add CFFT radix-4 and radix-2 kernels
+- Parametrize the performance counters
 
 ### Fixed
 - Fix type issue in `snitch_addr_demux`
+- Properly disable the debugging CSRs in ASIC implementations
