+
+Prom-client metrics have been removed and replaced with OpenTelemetry metrics. As a result, the metrics port has changed from `7007` to `9464`. Deprecated metrics have also been removed. If you had dependencies on these, ensure your prometheus queries are updated.

+=== GitHub issues plugin supports multiple GitHub integration hosts
+
+Previously, the GitHub issues plugin defaulted to using the first GitHub integration it detected for all components. This behavior made it incompatible with setups involving multiple GitHub integration hosts.
+
+Now, GitHub issues plugin supports multiple GitHub integration hosts. It uses the well-known entity slug annotation `backstage.io/source-location` or `backstage.io/managed-by-location` to determine the appropriate GitHub integration for a component. If no integration matches the slug, the first GitHub integration is selected, maintaining the previous behavior.

+
+This update fixes this issue by ensuring no mismatch between those values.

+=== Added alert on the deletion icon during bulk imports
+
+Before this update, repositories were added to the {product-short} from various sources, such as `app-config` files or GitHub discovery. The Bulk Import plugin only tracked repositories accessible using the configured GitHub integrations. When both plugins were enabled, repositories discovered by GitHub Discovery appeared on Bulk Import pages. However, deleting these repositories from Bulk Import Jobs had no effect, as entities from discovery or `app-config.yaml` file remained in the {product-short} catalog.
+
+With this update, an alert on the deletion icon notifies the user to modify the source (either the `catalog-info` within the repository or the `app-config.yaml` file if the file originates from there) to remove the catalog entity.

+With this update, RBAC roles are now properly synced across all pods, with Redis cache and traffic routing configured to ensure consistency across the deployment.

+=== `export-dynamic-plugin` fails to find dependencies nested deeper than one level in `node_modules`
+
+Previously, the CLI examined the dependencies of embedded packages during the export process to know if other packages should be embedded. One of the methods was calling {{require}} when the CLI encountered a built embedded package, which was the case when wrapping an existing plugin.
+
+This update changes the parent directory that the {{require}} uses from the monorepo root to the embedded package. Therefore, the dependent package found is the dependency that is most relevant to the embedded package.

+=== `suppress-native-package` and `allow-native-package` flags to handle native modules
+
+Previously, the CLI failed with a message that native modules are not supported.
+
+This update introduces two new CLI flags that help dynamic plugin developers handle native modules. Both flags accept a list of packages. The `--suppress-native-package` flag does not require the native module at runtime. It replaces the native module with an empty package that displays an error. The `--allow-native-package` flag instructs the CLI to allow the native package during checks, and tests a plugin that uses a native module.

+=== Resolved the `stdout maxBuffer` error
+
+Previously, the `export-dynamic-plugin` failed with an error that the `stdout maxBuffer` length was exceeded.
+
+With this update, the CLI redirects the output of the {{yarn install}} command it performs during the export process to a file. Therefore, a successful completion of the {{yarn install}} command and verification of the `export-dynamic-plugin`, cleans up the file. The file is available for troubleshooting when the dynamic plugin validation checks fail.

+=== Added an `--ignore-version-check` flag
+
+Previously, exporting a plugin that has not been updated to a newer backstage version failed due to a semver check performed on dependencies of the dynamic plugin package.
+
+With this update, an `--ignore-version-check` flag accepts a list of package names causing the CLI to selectively ignore the semver check the CLI performs when evaluating the plugin package dependencies. Therefore, a plugin that has not been updated works because it relies on unchanged interfaces and functions.

You must configure additional settings depending on where you choose to load the JSON data for the plugin.

+== Topology plugin permission is not displayed in the RBAC front-end UI
+
+Permissions associated only with front-end plugins do not appear in the UI because they require a backend plugin to expose the permission framework's well-known endpoint. As a workaround, you can apply these permissions by using a CSV file or directly calling the REST API of the RBAC backend plugin. Affected plugins include Topology (`topology.view.read`), Tekton (`tekton.view.read`), ArgoCD (`argocd.view.read`), and Quay (`quay.view.read`).
