+ +#### Description +Previously, if your environment would have the Service Management Area disabled and you try to create a platform in the Admin Area, you would encounter an error which would also disappear after a few seconds. This error has been fixed and also now shows indefinitely. + +### Fix opening Platform Usage report details page +**Audience:** User, Customer
+ +#### Description +In a case where TenatnID contains a slash, Platform Usage report details are not opened. This has been fixed now. + +### Fix Services not showing for Shared Marketplaces +**Audience:** Customer, Partner
+ +#### Description +Previously, certain OSB Services that were restricted to specific Workspaces +were not appearing on the Marketplace of these dedicated Workspaces. This is +now fixed. + +### Improve Robustness for Kubernetes/Openshift Metering +**Audience:** Operator, Partner, Customer
+ +#### Description +Previously, metering did not work when the resource included a resource limit +with the k suffix, for example, a CPU limit of 1k. This resulted in empty +Tenant Usage Reports and incomplete chargeback statements. This is now fixed. +Chargeback statements will have to be regenerated. We will reach out to you if +you are impacted. + +### Workload Identity Federation for GCP platforms +**Audience:** Customer, Partner, Operator
+ +#### Description +You can now configure Workload Identity Federation for the service account in GCP replicator and metering +platform configurations. This feature enables automatic rolling of credentials and you don't have to enter +any GCP platform credentials to meshStack anymore. + +#### How to use +You can test it out by switching from the "Credentials" authentication type to "Workload Identity Federation" for all +Service Accounts you want to change the authentication type for (e.g. replicator and metering are separate service principals). +You can find a description of what needs to be configured on the Service Account in meshPanel, when you select "Workload Identity Federation". + +### Fix "View More" in the Tenants Overview +**Audience:** User
+ +#### Description +Previously, when you opened the overview of the tenants under "Platforms" in the sidebar and clicked on "View more" to see the details of a tenant, you encountered a navigation error. This has been fixed. + +### Missing managing buttons in overview of Service Instances +**Audience:** User
+ +#### Description +In rare cases, the buttons to update or delete a service instance didn't appear in the overview of service instances, which you could access via the marketplace control plane under Overview > Services > Service Instances. This has been fixed. + +### Fix Metering of Building Blocks in Custom Platforms +**Audience:** Partner, Customer
+ +#### Description +For Building Block definitions that support more than one custom platform, +metering and cost collection was active only for one of the supported custom +platforms. Inside all other custom platforms, the Building Blocks could be +used free of charge. This is now fixed. + +### UX improvement for platform and building block prices +**Audience:** Customer, Partner
+ +#### Description +The section inside the panel for setting prices for platforms and building +blocks was slightly modified to improve the general user experience. +
