     - `hipPointerGetAttributes` returns `hipSuccess` instead of an error with invalid value `hipErrorInvalidValue`, in case `NULL` host or attribute pointer is passed as input parameter. It now matches the functionality of `cudaPointerGetAttributes` which changed with CUDA 11 and above releases.
     - `hipFree` previously there was an implicit wait which was applicable for all memory allocations, for synchronization purpose. This wait is now disabled for allocations made with `hipMallocAsync` and `hipMallocFromPoolAsync`, to match the behavior of CUDA API `cudaFree`.
     - `hipFreeAsync` now returns `hipSuccess` when the input pointer is NULL, instead of ` hipErrorInvalidValue` , to be consistent with `hipFree`.
+    - Exceptions occurring during a kernel execution will not abort the process anymore but will return an error unless core dump is enabled.
 * Changes in hipRTC.
     - Removal of `hipRTC` symbols from HIP Runtime Library.
     Any application using `hipRTC` APIs should link explicitly with the `hipRTC` library. This makes the usage of `hipRTC` library on Linux the same as on Windows and matches the behavior of CUDA `nvRTC`.
