+Key Updates
+===========
+
+* Support for O1 and A1 Policy Payloads in the 5G SON use Case
+
+ The 5G SON policy is updated to allow O1 and A1 Policy payloads to be passed to SDN-R. Now, policies can pass O1 and
+ A1 Policy payloads.
+
+ See:
+ - `REQ-1212 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/REQ-1212>`_ - 5G SON use case enhancements for Kohn release
+ - `POLICY-4108 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/POLICY-4108>`_ Control Loop Policy for A1-based action for SON
+ Use Case
+
+
+* Native Kafka messaging bewtween Policy Framework components
+
+ The Policy Framework can now be configured to use Kafka for asynchronous communication between PAP and PDPs and
+ between CLAMP ACM Runtime and Participants. Kafka messaging is an alternative to using DMaaP MR for asynchronous
+ messaging. The Policy Framework components are configured to use either DMaaP or Kafka messaging, with DMaaP
+ being the default. This change is supported by APEX-PDP in this release and will be supported DROOLS-PDP and XACML-PDP
+ in future releases.
+
+ See:
+ - `POLICY-4121 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/POLICY-4121>`_ - R11: DMaaP and Kafka updates
+
+* Support for Secured Database Communication
+
+ Database communiction with MariaDB, MySql, or PostgreSQL can be configured to be secure. Secure database communication
+ is introduced for API, PAP, DROOLS-PDP and XACML-PDP. Support for secure database communication will be introduced in
+ CLAMP ACM in a future release.
+
+ See:
+ - `POLICY-4176 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/POLICY-4176>`_ - Support Secured Database Connections
+
+* Support for MySql 8
+
+ The Policy Framework can use MySql 8 for persistence in addition to MariaDb and Postgres. Interoperability with MySql
+ 8 has been added for DB-MIGRATOR, API, PAP, DROOLS-PDP, XACML-PDP, and CLAM ACM.
+
+ See:
+ - `POLICY-4314 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/POLICY-4314>`_ - Support for MySql 8.x DB client interfaces
+
+* Support for Service Mesh
+
+ All Policy Framework components and images support service mesh and are service mesh compatible. The OOM charts for
+ all Policy Framework components have been updated to supprot configuration for Service Mesh. In addition, some minor
+ bugs in startup scripts were fixed to allow HTTP or HTTPS to be configured on components.
+
+* XACML-PDP improvements
+
+ - Support for XACML 3.1 introduced
+ - Exposure of application level metrics
+ - Support for Postgres database as well as MariaDB
+ - Support for DCAE TCAGEN2 monitoring app changes

+* APEX-PDP Improvements
+
+ - Support for event definitions in JSON as well as AVRO is added
+ - Support for Metadata Set generation from the APEX CLI editor
+ - Support for deserialization of messages encoded in Avro carried over Kafka
+
+ See:
+ - `POLICY-4048 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/POLICY-4048>`_ - R11: Improvements specific to apex-pdp
+
+* Policy-Distribution Improvements
+
+ - Configuration added to allow distribution of CLAMP ACM compositions
+ - Policy distribution re-synchs if SDC is reinstalled
+
+ See:
+ - `POLICY-4052 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/POLICY-4052>`_ - R11: Improvements to distribution
+
+* CLAMP Improvements
+
+ - Instance properties can be edited
+ - Helm repository can be configured in the Kubernetes participant
+
+ See:
+ - `POLICY-4053 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/POLICY-4053>`_ - R11: Improvements specific to clamp
+
+* System Attribute Improvements
+ - Demo Grafana dashboards available for policy framework components
+ - All parameters in Helm Charts have default values

+Key Updates
+===========
+
+* `REQ-994 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/REQ-994>`_ - Control Loop in TOSCA LCM Improvement
+ CLAMP (Control Loop Automation Management Platform) functionalities, moved to the Policy project in the Istanbul
+ release, provides a Control Loop Lifecycle management architecture. A control Loop is a key concept for Automation
+ and Assurance Use Cases and remains a top priority for ONAP as an automation platform butit is not the only possible
+ composition of components that is possible to combine to deliver functionality.
+
+ This work evolves the Control Loop LCM architecture to provide abstract Automation Composition
+ Management (ACM) logic with a generic Automation Composition definition, isolating Composition logic logic from ONAP
+ component logic. It elaborates APIs that allow integrate with other design systems as well as 3PP component integration.
+
+ The current PMSH and TCS control loops are migrated to use an Automation Composition approach. Support for Automation
+ Compositions in SDC is also introduced.
+
+* Metadata Sets for Policy Types.
+
+ A Metadata set allows a global set of metadata containing rules or global parameters that all instances of a certain
+ policy type can use. Metadta sets are introduced in the Policy Framework in the Jakarta release. This means that
+ different rule set implementations can be associated with a policy type, which can be used in appropriate situations.
+
+* Introduction of Prometheus for monitoring Policy components so that necessary alerts can be easily triggered and
+ possible outages can be avoided in production systems.
+
+ * Expose application level metrics in policy components. An end user can plug in a prometheus instance and start
+ listening to the metrics exposed by policy components and either raise alerts or show them on a Grafana dashboard
+ for operations team to keep monitoring the health of the system.
+
+ * Provide sample Grafana dashboards for policy metrics.
+
+* Improve the policy/api and policy/pap readiness probes to handle database failures so that the policy/api and
+ policy/pap kubernetes pods are marked ready only if the policy database pod is ready.
+
+* Migration of Policy Framework components to Springboot to support easier handling, configuration and maintenance.
+ The migrated components are policy/api, policy/pap, policy/clamp, and policy/gui.
+
+* Enhanced healthchecks on drools pdp to report on stuck applications. This together with enhanced liveness probes
+ self-heals the unresponsive pod in such condition by restarting it.
+
+* Drools PDP has been upgraded to the latest available stable version: 7.68.0.Final.
+
+* Extend CDS actor model to decouple VNF handling from the vFirewall use case.
+
+* Policy Framework Database Configurability. Some of the components in the Policy Framework can be configured to use
+ any JDBC-compliant RDBMS and configuraiton files are supplied for the Postgres RDBMS. MariaDB remains the default
+ RDBMS for the Policy Framework in ONAP. Further testing will be carried out using Postgres in Kohn and future
+ releases.
+
+* System Attribute Improvements
+ - Transaction boundaries on REST calls are implemented per REST call on applications migrated to Spring (policy/api,
+ policy/pap, and policy/clamp)
+ - JDBC backend uses Spring and Hibernate rather than Eclipselink
+ - All GUIs are now included in the policy/gui microservice
+ - Documentation is retionalized and cleaned up, testing documentation is now complete
+ - Scripts are added to make release of the Policy Framework easier
