- **Update the C++ SDK** ([#2537](https://github/com/adap/flower/pull/2537), [#2528](https://github/com/adap/flower/pull/2528), [#2523](https://github.com/adap/flower/pull/2523), [#2522](https://github.com/adap/flower/pull/2522))
- **Update the C++ SDK** ([#2537](https://github.com/adap/flower/pull/2537), [#2528](https://github.com/adap/flower/pull/2528), [#2523](https://github.com/adap/flower/pull/2523), [#2522](https://github.com/adap/flower/pull/2522))

Add gRPC request-response capability to the C++ SDK.

- **Make HTTPS the new default** ([#2591](https://github.com/adap/flower/pull/2591), [#2636](https://github.com/adap/flower/pull/2636))

Flower is moving to HTTPS by default. The new `flower-server` requires passing `--certificates`, but users can enable `--insecure` to use HTTP for prototyping. The same applies to `flower-client`, which can either use user-provided credentials or gRPC-bundled certificates to connect to an HTTPS-enabled server or requires opt-out via passing `--insecure` to enable insecure HTTP connections.

For backward compatibility, `start_client()` and `start_numpy_client()` will still start in insecure mode by default. In a future release, insecure connections will require user opt-in by passing `insecure=True`.

- **Unify client API** ([#2303](https://github.com/adap/flower/pull/2303), [#2390](https://github.com/adap/flower/pull/2390), [#2493](https://github.com/adap/flower/pull/2493))

Using the `client_fn`, Flower clients can interchangeably run as standalone processes (i.e. via `start_client`) or in simulation (i.e. via `start_simulation`) without requiring changes to how the client class is defined and instantiated. The `to_client()` function is introduced to convert a `NumPyClient` to a `Client`.
