+* Introduces a status tab to the entity store management page ({kibana-pull}201235[#201235]).
+* Allows you to install and reinstall entity stores from the Engine Status page ({kibana-pull}208149[#208149]).
+* Introduces ways to monitor and fix gaps in rule executions, which can lead to missed alerts or reduced rule coverage ({kibana-pull}206313[#206313]).
+* The manual runs functionality is now generally available ({kibana-pull}209535[#209535]).


Does it make sense to group the GA functions one after the other instead of lines apart?

I don't have any issue with that but it'd break the current organization principle, which is to group changes based on product area.
