 ### Enhancements
 * Added a kUseBaseAddress flag and GetBaseOffset flag to OptionTypeInfo.  If this flag is set and a function is used for processing options, the function is passed the base address of the struct rather than the specific field (#397)
+* Export GetFlushReasonString/GetCompactionReasonString in listener.h (#785).
 * Enabled speedb features in C and Java (#722)
 
+
 ### Bug Fixes
 * Stall deadlock consists small cfs (#637).
 * Proactive Flushes: Fix a race in the ShouldInitiateAnotherFlushMemOnly that may cause the method to return an incorrect answer (#758).
