+
+#### Fix Ditto UI environment creation was no longer possible
+
+Reported issue [#2040](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/issues/2040) about not being able to create new environments
+in the Ditto UI version 3.6.0 has been fixed via PR [#2041](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2041).
+
+#### Fixed JavaScript payload mapper not being able to serialize arrays as header fields
+
+In PR [#2043](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2043) a bug in the 
+[JavaScript payload mapper](connectivity-mapping.html#javascript-mapper) was fixed which caused that arrays in headers 
+(e.g. `DittoHeaders`) were not rendered correctly, but instead as e.g. `'org.mozilla.javascript.NativeArray@e90b588'`.
+
+#### Fixed configuration for new WoT Thing model based validation
+
+PR [#2045](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2045) fixes a bug regarding `dynamic-configuration` of the new
+[WoT TM based validation](basic-wot-integration.html#configuration-of-thing-model-based-validation), especially in the Helm 
+configuration.
