+Improvements
+````````````
+
+- Adds support for ``SCRAM-SHA-1`` for user and MongoDB Agent
+  authentication. To enable either authentication, use ``MONGODB-CR``
+  and ``SCRAM-SHA-1`` in the authentication modes.
+
+- Adds support for the following features for OpsManager Backup configuration:
+  
+  - KMIP Backup Configuration support through the
+    ``spec.backup.encryption.kmip`` parameter in
+    :opsmgrkube:`OpsManager <spec.backup.encryption.kmip>`
+    and :setting:`MongoDB resources <spec.backup.encryption.kmip>`. To
+    learn more, see :ref:`configure-kmip-backup-encryption`.
+  - Backup Assignment Labels settings in
+    ``spec.backup.[*].assignmentLabels`` elements of the OpsManager
+    resource.
+  - Backup Snapshot Schedule configuration through the
+    :setting:`spec.backup.snapshotSchedule` parameter in the OpsManager
+    resource. To learn more, see :ref:`back-up-mdb-resources`.
+
+- Adds support for disaster recovery in |multi-clusters|, which are in
+  the beta release. To learn more, see :ref:`disaster-recovery-ref` and
+  :ref:`multi-cluster-cli-reference-ref`.
+
+MongoDB Resource
+`````````````````
+
+- Adds documentation for
+  :setting:`spec.additionalMongodConfig.net.tls.disabledProtocols`.
+
+Bug Fixes
+`````````
+
+- Fixes the issue where you configure a liveness probe and it reports a
+  positive result when you terminate a MongoDB Agent's process. This
+  could cause Pods hosting MongoDB resources to run without the
+  Automation Agent. In addition to this fix, consider configuring 
+  :ref:`readiness probe overrides <readiness-probe-override>`.  
+
+- Fixes the startup script in database Pod that might report errors when
+  the Pod restarts.
