+## Ticket Details
+### Fix OSB Service Instance updates for non-updateable plans
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+This fixes a bug that ignored the non-updatable flag for service plans 
+while updating a Service Instance. Such an update query did usually fail 
+and displayed an unnecessary error message to the user.
+
+### Platform Tenant ID validation for Building Block output
+**Audience:** Operator<br>
+
+#### Description
+When a Building Block is used for a Custom Platform to provide the Platform Tenant ID via
+the assignment type, those Platform Tenant IDs are now validated and sanity checked.
+A non-validating Platform Tenant ID will also make the Building Block run fail.
+
+### Show plan details when configuring Marketplace Service
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+When configuring a new service from the marketplace, the panel now shows more details
+about each available plan instead of just the plan name.
+This change is relevant only for services provided using an Open Service Broker.
+
+### Fixes Subscription re-creation for Azure tenants
+**Audience:** User, Operator<br>
+
+#### Description
+In the Azure subscription re-creation fix of the last release an edge case was missed which 
+could prevent Subscription re-creation for Enterprise Agreements and Customer Agreement
+based setups. This has been fixed.
+
+### Streamlined Landing Zone Selection Process
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Our latest update simplifies the task of choosing compliant and suitable landing zones. When only one 
+compliant option exists or policy constraints restrict choices, the system automatically selects the 
+appropriate landing zone. This enhancement reduces manual steps and ensures teams can proceed efficiently 
+while adhering to policies.
+
+### Table filters also work with partial text
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Previously, for many tables in the panel such as Unmanaged Tenants or Chargeback Statements you could only filter for
+an exact match. For example, if you wanted to find workspace "my-first-workspace" using "first",
+it would not work, but only with "my-first". We now improved the filtering system to allow for any piece of text to match,
+so in the given example you could use all "my", "first" or "workspace", or even "first-workspace".
+
+### Improved consistency of replication logs
+**Audience:** Operator<br>
+
+#### Description
+Replication logs shown in the tenant details view of the admin have been improved.
+meshStack now consistently includes basic information like HTTP method, URL,
+response status code and an excerpt of the received response body for every failed
+request. This information is intended to help operators debug and resolve replication
+or platform configuration errors more easily.
+
+### Landing Zone Contributors for private platforms
+**Audience:** Customer, Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+You can now also define Landing Zone Contributors in the Admin Area for private platforms owned by workspaces. 
+The selected contributing workspaces will also get access to the private platform in the marketplace to 
+test their Landing Zones.
+
+### Edit Platform Types
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+Admins are now able to edit Platform Type details such as the name or logo.
+
+### Workspace-scoped API Keys
+**Audience:** User, Customer, Partner, Operator<br>
+
+#### Description
+We introduce API Keys on a workspace level that can now be managed from inside meshPanel.
+API Keys can be used to access meshStack's API in the context of one workspace only.
+Individual rights can be defined for each API Key to provide a fine-grained access for different keys.
+
+#### How to use
+There is a new menu item in the Admin area called "API Keys".
+To add an API Key, click on the button 'Create API Key'. After filling in all 
+fields, you will see a new secret, which you can use to perform your requests. This secret is shown to
+you only once, so please make sure to store it safely. For editing an API Keys, click on the 
+Edit button on the right.  
+
+With API Keys you can call the /api/login endpoint to retrieve an Bearer Token. This token needs to be
+specified in further API requests within the "Authorization" header.
+The /api/login endpoint expects the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" content type. 
+The required values are in the form of "client_id=<API KEY UUID>&client_secret=<SECRET>&grant_type=client_credentials"
+
