+#### Improvements
+
+* In an effort to provide a seamless app creation experience, we have updated the [Maia Plan](/developerportal/maia-plan/) project creation flow. Everything works the same, but the step layout and progression are now aligned to the general Mendix Portal experience that you might already be used to.
+
+#### Fixes
+
+* We are now displaying explanatory error messages in the following scenarios:
+
+ * If generating epics takes too long.
+ * If large requirements documents do not process correctly.
