+=== Bug fixes
+
+* Previously, metrics were not available to normal users when accessed in the Developer perspective of the web console, by clicking on **Observe** -> **Logs**.
+This release resolves the issue. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/COO-288[*COO-288*])
+

+This release resolves the issue. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/COO-299[*COO-299*])

+* Previously, there was an authorization vulnerability in the Distributed tracing UI plugin.
+This release resolves the issue and the Distributed tracing UI plugin has been hardened by using only multi-tenant `TempoStack` and `TempoMonolithic` instances going forward.
