 - The syntax for process tuple inputs has been updated:

-  input:

 - The method signature for the `stageAs` directive was changed from `(filePattern, value)` to `(value, filePattern)`.
 
 See {ref}`migrating-static-types` for more information about migrating to static typing. See {ref}`migrating-static-types-operators` for best practices on using operators with static typing.
 
+<h3>Process <code>hints</code> directive</h3>
+
+The `hints` process directive allows you to specify executor-specific hints for individual processes.
+
+For example, the AWS Batch executor uses the `consumableReources` hint for [resource-aware scheduling](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/02/aws-batch-resource-aware-scheduling/):
+
+```nextflow
+process hello {
+    hints 'awsbatch/consumableResources': ['my-license': 1]
+
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+Custom executors can use hints to control scheduling behavior in a fine-grained manner over configuration options.
+
+See {ref}`process-hints` for details.

-<h3>Load collection-type params automatically from files</h3>

-When using the `params` block, collection-type parameters such as `List<Record>` can be loaded automatically from a CSV, JSON, or YAML file. This feature simplifies the loading of samplesheet inputs and allows a pipeline to support multiple structured data formats.

+<h3>Apple container support</h3>
+
+Nextflow can run containers on macOS using [Apple container](https://github.com/apple/container), a lightweight container runtime for Apple silicon machines:
+
+```groovy
+process.container = 'nextflow/examples:latest'
+appleContainer.enabled = true
+```
+
+See {ref}`container-apple` for details.
+
+<h3>Seqera filesystem for datasets</h3>
+
+Nextflow can download [Seqera Platform datasets](https://docs.seqera.io/platform-cloud/data/datasets) using the `seqera` URI scheme.
+
+Seqera dataset URIs are specified as `seqera://<organization>/<workspace>/datasets/<name>[@version]`. For example:
+
+```nextflow
+params.dataset = 'seqera://seqeralabs/showcase/datasets/sarek_samples'
+
+workflow {
+    println file(params.dataset).text
+}
+```
+
+A Platform access token with appropriate permissions is required to download non-public datasets. It can be specified using the `TOWER_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable or the `tower.accessToken` config option.

 ## Breaking changes
 
 - The {ref}`strict syntax parser <strict-syntax-page>` is now enabled by default. The legacy parser can be enabled by setting the `NXF_SYNTAX_PARSER` environment variable to `v1`.
