+--------------------
+
+* Added support for ES 7.9 APIs
+* Fixed retries to not raise an error when ``sniff_on_connection_error=True``
+ and a ``TransportError`` is raised during the sniff step. Instead the
+ retry will continue or the error that triggered the retry will be raised
+ (See `#1279`_ and `#1326`_)
