- Diagnostic Framework Support: Added in the Service Operations Workspace Incident form (versions 7.5.0 to 7.7.0 in 2025), enabling better incident diagnostics within the workspace.
- Platform Compliance and Security Hardening: Recent releases (8.1.4 to 8.3.4 in 2026) focus on meeting platform-wide security directives such as default-deny agentic AI ACLs, cross-scope access enforcement, CSRF protection on public APIs, embedding query ACLs into source code, and Java 21 compile support.
