 # Changelog
 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Changed
+
+- **Evaluations**: Improved evaluation dataset naming and simplified evaluator configuration
+  - `EvalDataset` now accepts dataset name for better organization in Logfire
+  - Added `--name` CLI parameter to override evaluation run names
+  - Removed `IsInstance` evaluator, using only `LLMJudge` for QA evaluation
+
 ### Fixed
 
 - **AG-UI Activity Events**: Activity events now correctly use structured dict content instead of strings

@@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ You can also use command-line options:
 - `--skip-retrieval` - Skip retrieval benchmark
 - `--skip-qa` - Skip QA benchmark
 - `--qa-limit N` - Limit number of QA cases to evaluate
+- `--name NAME` - Override the evaluation name (defaults to `{dataset}_qa_evaluation`)
