   ```
 - Handle deprecation of Rack::File in Rack 3.1 (https://github.com/flippercloud/flipper/pull/773).
 - Human readable actor names in flipper-ui (https://github.com/flippercloud/flipper/pull/737).
-- Expressions are now available and considered "alpha". They are not yet documented, but you can see examples in [examples/expressions.rb](examples/expressions.rb). Those using the `flipper-active_record` adapter will want to migrate the database so it can store JSON expressions (https://github.com/flippercloud/flipper/pull/692)
