 ## Next
 
+- [27119](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/27119): Updates various database columns to use the `MediumText` type, potentially requiring a table lock on MySQL dbs or taking some time to complete on large deployments.
+
 - [26450](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/26450): Deprecates the `KV_STORE` feature flag and its related assets such as the API endpoint and `keyvalue` table. The main dependency of this feature is the `SHARE_QUERIES_VIA_KV_STORE` feature flag which allows sharing SQL Lab queries without the necessity of saving the query. Our intention is to use the permalink feature to implement this use case before 5.0 and that's why we are deprecating the feature flag now.
