## New features and updates

Following are the new features and updates in this release.

### Apigee Advisory messages

You'll now receive advisories in the Edge management UI with Apigee Advisory, a new messaging
system being released in beta. Click the bell icon in the UI toolbar to view advisories.

In this initial beta release, you'll be advised about availability or security issues that may
impact your Edge APIs. Links may be provided that take you to more information. For beta, only
users in the Organization Administrator and Read-only Organization Administrator roles will see
this feature. Advisory is refreshed every 60 minutes and displays messages delivered within the
past 48 hours.

In the future, other Advisory may include cloud release timelines, potential impacts that bug
fixes, security updates, and new features may have on your organization's APIs, specific actions
you may need to take to better secure your APIs, deprecation notices, and other relevant
information. (REL-3479)
