+New features, bug fixes and performance upgrades!
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+## New features
+
+- **Scratchpads:** Enables shared topics between environments, setting resources only in focused steps of the pipeline and allowing code modifications to be easily merged back into Production.
+- **Data tiers:** this feature allows users to assign a **`Bronze, Silver, or Gold`** classification to their data - or define their own tiers for each topic, reflecting its data quality and level of pre-processing.
+- **Quix CLI** 1.1.0 adds support for global YAML variables on local development. [More info in docs](https://quix.io/docs/quix-cli/local-development/local-yaml-variables.html).
+
+## Enhancements
+
+- We have enabled replicas configuration for Jobs. Users can now set the replica count for deployments of type `Job`, enhancing job concurrency control.
+- Added Support for separate private and public Library repositories. This feature allows dedicated clusters to configure separate repositories for private and public template items in the Library.
+- Improved error descriptions when dealing with YAML and missing secret keys.
+- Improved network configuration validation.
+- Enhanced the readability of error messages in historical logs to make them more user-friendly.
+- Optimized the 'Live Logs' download for improved performance.
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed a bug that prevented applications being run in the online IDE from stopping in some conditions.
+- Fixed a bug that caused deployment statuses to refresh incorrectly after a runtime error occurred.
+- Vulnerability fixes and patches.
