# 2024-08-21-Release

## Bug Fixes

* Resolved an issue with Bolt Store where agent status was reported incorrectly
* Improve agents table measurements sort performance
* Resolved an issue where mutual TLS would not use the configured certificate for verifying client certificates

### Deprecations

Kafka Event Bus for BindPlane [High Availability](https://github.com/observIQ/bindplane-docs/blob/main/production-checklist/bindplane/high-availability/README.md) is deprecated, use the [built in distributed eventbus](https://github.com/observIQ/bindplane-docs/blob/main/configuration/bindplane/nats-as-event-bus.md). It is simpler to use and does not require additional infrastructure.

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE**

Kafka sources and destinations are unrelated and fully supported.
{% endhint %}

### Miscellaneous

* Systemd: Increase default max open files from 55,000 to 65,000
