+# Spice Java SDK v0.8.0
+
+## What's New
+
+### 🔎 Search
+
+`search()` finds documents similar to a piece of text via the runtime's `/v1/search` endpoint (vector, keyword, and hybrid search), for datasets with an embedding column and a loaded embedding model.
+
+```java
+SearchResponse response = client.search(
+    new SearchRequest("delayed flights to Seattle")
+        .withDatasets(List.of("flight_reviews"))
+        .withLimit(5));
+
+for (SearchMatch match : response.getResults()) {
+    System.out.println(match.getDataset() + ": " + match.getScore());
+}
+```
+
+### 🗣️ Natural Language to SQL (Nsql)
+
+`nsql()` translates a natural-language query into SQL via the runtime's configured LLM and runs it, returning the rows alongside the generated SQL. `nsqlGenerateSql()` generates the SQL without running it — inspect or edit it, or run it through `query()`/`queryWithParams()` for Arrow-typed results instead of `nsql()`'s decoded JSON rows.
+
+```java
+NsqlResponse response = client.nsql(new NsqlRequest("how many trips were over 10 miles?"));
+System.out.println(response.getSql());
+System.out.println(response.getData());
+
+String sql = client.nsqlGenerateSql(new NsqlRequest("how many trips were over 10 miles?"));
+```
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- Public API unchanged: both features are new methods; nothing existing was renamed, removed, or retyped.
+- No new dependencies.
