+On August 1, 2024, it was discovered that Elastic AI Assistant's responses when using Bedrock Sonnet 3.5 may include `<antThinking>` tags, for example `<search_quality_reflection>` ({kibana-issue}189676[#189676]).

+==== Enhancements
+* Enhances {elastic-defend} by improving the `call_stack_final_user_module` attribution where potential `proxy_call` modules are encountered during Windows call stack analysis.

+==== Bug fixes
+* Fixes a conflict that could result in a Windows boot failure `0xC000007B` for `ElasticElam.sys` when {elastic-defend} 8.15.2 or 8.15.3 was installed alongside CrowdStrike.
+* Fixes a bug that caused an Elastic AI Assistant error if you had over 20 conversations and tried to access or update any of them ({kibana-pull}197305[#197305]).
+* Makes Automatic Import more forgiving if LLMs return ECS mappings in unexpected formats ({kibana-pull}195167[#195167]).
+* Fixes a bug that caused fields from all indices to display when adding a filter to a rule that you were editing. Now, only fields from the rule's specified indices appear ({kibana-pull}194678[#194678], {kibana-pull}181643[#181643]).
+* Improves {elastic-defend} by making the `elastic-endpoint status` command more reliable. Before this fix, the command occasionally failed with an I/O error.
+* Fixes an {elastic-defend} process crash that could occur if it was configured to use the Kafka output.
+* Fixes a bug where {elastic-defend} could fail to properly enrich Windows API events for short-lived processes on older operating systems that didn't natively include this telemetry, such as Windows Server 2019. This could result in dropped or unattributed API events.  
+* Ensures that {elastic-defend} does not emit an empty `memory_region` if it can't enrich a memory region in an API event. After this fix, {elastic-defend} removes these fields.
+* Fixes an {elastic-defend} bug where Windows API events could be dropped if they contained Unicode characters that couldn't be converted to ANSI.
