+
+*DataManagementSystem
+
+NEW: (#7817) experimental token support for FTS transfers
+FIX: (#7781) dirac_dms_find_lfns: Check if requested path exists and returns error if not. Prevents users hitting #7487
+FIX: (#7780) Return correct error for non-existing directory. Partial fix for #7487
+NEW: (#7764) added checksum comparison in the fc/se consistency tool
+NEW: (#7756) FileCatalogHandler: add function export_getFileDetails to get the (user) metadata for a list of LFNs
+FIX: (#7719) Remove `def findDirIDsByMetadata(self, metaDict, dPath, credDict):` method from `MultiVODirectoryMetadata` (derived) class which caused an extra VO suffix added when searching. The method is meant to be used _internally_ only on keys which are already expanded in a MultiVO case. Add a user-level def `findDirectoriesByMetadata(self, queryDict, path, credDict)` to the derived class thus adding a VO suffix for a directory search. Fixes  #7687.

+FIX: (#7806) RequestTaskAgent only considers requests in final states, and consider files in intermediate state as problematic (https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/issues/7116)
+NEW: (#7806) RequestTaskAgent uses getBulkRequestStatus instead of getRequestStatus
+RMS: (#7806) 
+NEW: (#7806) implement getRequestStatus
+NEW: (#7697) InputDataAgent: new Option MultiVO, which makes the FileCatalog Query use the author of the DN, rather than the Host, to resolve MultiVO metadata correctly. Fixes #7681
+

+NEW: (#7796) VOMS2CSAgent: New option "ForceNickname", if this option is enabled no dirac user is created if no nickname attribute is set for a user
+CHANGE: (#7796) IAMService: use logger and return errors for users so that the VOMS2CSAgent can notify admins about issues
+NEW: (#7742) Configuration-system-shell: added reload and sort commands
+
+*WorkloadManagementSystem
+
+CHANGE: (#7792) SiteDirector will always bundle the proxy
