+
+## Changelog
+
+Compared to the latest release [3.6.9](release_notes_369.html), the following changes and bugfixes were added.
+
+### Bugfixes
+This is a complete list of the
+[merged pull requests](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pulls?q=is%3Apr+milestone%3A3.6.10).
+
+#### Fix NPE in ScriptedOutgoingMapping when value from script resolved to null
+
+PR [#2100](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2100) fixed a bug in the ScriptedOutgoingMapping where 
+a `NullPointerException` was thrown when the value resolved from the script was `null`.
+
+#### Fix WoT action validation was only done for application/json content-type
+
+In PR [#2102](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2102) a bug was fixed which lead to the WoT validation of 
+[messages](basic-messages.html) was not performed when a content-type different to `application/json` was set.  
+As this bypasses ensuring that only well-defined messages are accepted by Ditto, this was considered as a bug.
+
+#### Fix logging configuration for policies service
+
+The default bundled `logback.xml` contained a syntax error. This was fixed in PR 
+[#2104](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2104).
+
+#### Fix tracing propagation in general
+
+Ditto 3.6 contained already many bugfixes where the span hierarchy of distributed tracing was calculated wrongly.  
+The root cause of these issues now was identified and fixed in PR[#2105](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2105).
+
+#### Fix MQTT connections eagerly resolving DNS causing problems with dynamic DNS
+
+PR [#2109](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2109) provides a configuration for changing the behavior of 
+MQTT connections in Ditto which eagerly resolved MQTT broker hostnames.  
+This could have lead to issues when e.g. the MQTT broker was behind a dynamic DNS or often changed IP addresses behind
+a DNS hostname.  
+This resolves issue [#2108](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/issues/2108).
