+# NameRes v1.5.2 Release
+- Babel: [2025sep1](https://stars.renci.org/var/babel_outputs/2025sep1/)
+  ([Babel 2025sep1](https://github.com/NCATSTranslator/Babel/blob/main/releases/2025sep1.md))
+- NameRes: [v1.5.2](https://github.com/NCATSTranslator/NameResolution/releases/tag/v1.5.2)
+
+Next release: _None as yet_
+Previous release: [NameRes v1.5.1](./v1.5.1.md)
+
+This release is functionally identical to [NameRes v1.5.1](./v1.5.1.md) apart from the metrics support
+described below, so everything in the v1.5.1 release notes applies here as well.
+
+It is the most recent NameRes release that can load Babel exports without the `taxon_specific` flag, which
+[NameRes v1.6.0](https://github.com/NCATSTranslator/NameResolution/releases/tag/v1.6.0) began to require.
+It therefore supports Babel releases up to and including
+[2025sep1](https://github.com/NCATSTranslator/Babel/tree/main/releases/2025sep1). The metrics code added
+here was never directly ported to the 1.6.0 or subsequent releases -- instead, it was reimplemented there.
+
+## New Features
+- Added Solr and query metrics ([PR #253](https://github.com/NCATSTranslator/NameResolution/pull/253)).
+  - `/status?full=true` reports more detailed Solr information, including memory/CPU and cache information.
+  - A "recent times" deque continuously reports on recent queries so that increases in query time are visible.
+  - Queries are logged along with the time taken, for tracking performance over the long term.
+  - Documented in [documentation/Performance.md](../documentation/Performance.md).
+
+## Improvements
+- Renamed `reverse_lookup()` to `curie_lookup()` and `lookup_names_(get|post)` to `synonyms_(get|post)` for
+  clarity ([PR #253](https://github.com/NCATSTranslator/NameResolution/pull/253)).
+- Fixed a typo in data-loading/README.md ([PR #253](https://github.com/NCATSTranslator/NameResolution/pull/253)).
