  * Automatically retry tasks that fail with transient Batch errors before the VM has started running (that is, before the task has cost the user money). These retries do not count against `maxRetries`.
  * Symlink to `/cromwell_root` - In LifeSciences, the Cromwell root directory that user scripts are run from is located at `/cromwell_root`, but in the Batch backend it has moved to `/mnt/disk/cromwell_root`. To ensure WDLs that rely on the original 
 path don't break when run on the Batch, and to also maintain forward compatibility we have created a symlink between `/mnt/disk/cromwell_root` and `/cromwell_root`.
- * Fixed a bug that caused Cromwell to overestimate the workflow cost for Batch jobs that used preemptible machines. 
+ * Fixed a bug that caused Cromwell to overestimate the workflow cost for Batch jobs that used preemptible machines.
+ * Allocated more memory to the shared memory filesystem (`/dev/shm`) proportional to the machine size
 
 ### Other Changes
 * Removes a database index `METADATA_WORKFLOW_IDX` that is now redundant since the introduction of `IX_METADATA_ENTRY_WEU_MK`.
