 ### Bug Fixes
 
+Fixed the behavior of `SUNDIALS_ENABLE_ERROR_CHECKS` so additional runtime error
+checks are disabled by default with all release build types. Previously,
+`MinSizeRel` builds enabled additional error checking by default.
+
 Fixed bug in the ARKODE SPRKStep `SPRKStepReInit` function and `ARKodeReset` function
 with SPRKStep that could cause a segmentation fault when compensated summation is not
 used.
