+* Rejects CEF logs from Automatic Import and redirects you to the CEF integration instead ({kibana-pull}201792[#201792], {kibana-pull}202994[#202994]).
+* Fixes an issue that could interfere with Knowledge Base setup ({kibana-pull}201175[#201175]).
+* Modifies the empty state message that appears when installing prebuilt rules ({kibana-pull}202226[#202226]).
+* Turns off the **Install All** button on the **Add Elastic Rules** page while rules are being installed ({kibana-pull}201731[#201731]).
+* Removes fields with an `@` from the script processor ({kibana-pull}201548[#201548]).
+* Fixes a bug with threshold rules that prevented cardinality details from appearing ({kibana-pull}201162[#201162]).
+* Fixes an exceptions bug that prevented the **Exceptions** tab from properly loading if exceptions contained comments with newline characters (`\n`) ({kibana-pull}202063[#202063]).

+* Fixes an issue that prevented you from successfully importing TSV files with asset criticality data if you're on Windows ({kibana-pull}199791[#199791]).
+* Improves {elastic-defend} by refactoring the kernel driver to work around a `CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED` bug check (BSOD) that can occur due to a conflict with CrowdStrike Falcon.
