+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed a panic when setting some `kv.bulk_io_write` [cluster settings](../v2.1/cluster-settings.html) to a value < 1. [#31603][#31603]
+- Fixed a bug where entry application on Raft followers could fall behind entry application on the leader, causing stalls during splits. [#31619][#31619]
+- Fixed a panic caused by an incorrect assumption in the SQL optimizer code that `ROWS FROM` clauses contain only functions. [#31769][#31769]
+- Fixed a bug causing committed read-only transactions to be counted as aborted in metrics. [#31608][#31608]
+- Fixed a bug where [`CHANGEFEED`s](../v2.1/create-changefeed.html) may not correctly retry temporary errors when communicating with a sink. [#31559][#31559]
