+
+### Bugfixes
+
+This is a complete list of the
+[merged pull requests](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pulls?q=is%3Apr+milestone%3A3.6.3).
+
+#### Fixed tracing and moving traces to their correct parent in many places
+
+PR [#2060](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2060) fixes that OpenTelemetry traces often were not correctly
+assigned to the "correct" parent span.
+
+#### Fix that boolean values could not be used in aggregated metrics
+
+PR [#2068](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2068) fixes issue [#2067](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/issues/2067)
+and adds support for using boolean values for filter in [aggregation based metrics](installation-operating.html#operator-defined-custom-aggregation-based-metrics).
+
+#### Fix that resolving WoT extensions did not preserve "submodels" from parent models
+
+PR [#2069](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2069) fixes a WoT "extension" resolving bug, `tm:submodels` defined
+in extended WoT models were not "copied" to the "links" of the extending models.
+
+
+### Helm Chart
+
+The [Ditto Helm Chart](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/tree/master/deployment/helm) contained some configuration
+bugs and enhancements which are also addressed with this bugfix release.
+
+#### Enhance Helm chart by startupProbe
+
+PR [#2063](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2063) enhances the Helm chart with a `startupProbe` - which
+makes the `initialDelaySeconds` for the `readinessProbe` obsolete and a Ditto pod can become more quickly "ready" as
+a result.  
+Also, the configuration of `topologySpreadConstraints` was enhanced to be an array and be able to take more than one
+constraint.
+
+#### Fix Pod Disruption Budget value for thingssearch
+
+The `PodDisruptionBudget` of the Helm chart referenced for the `thingssearch` service the value of the `things` service,
+this was fixed via PR [#2070](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2070).
