 # Releases
 
+## grimoire-elk 0.103.0-rc.8 - (2022-09-26)
+
+**New features:**
+
+ * git-branches study skip uncloned repo\
+   The git-branches study skips the repository when it is not cloned and
+   continues with the next one.
+ * Configurable study aliases\
+   Before this fix, the name of the study aliases was hard coded. From
+   now on, these values can be configured by passing them as parameters.
+ * Entry points to support enriching plugin mechanism\
+   This plugin mechanism allows ELK to use third-party enriching
+   backends. Developers only need to include the next snippet in their
+   package configuration and ELK will import them as any other core
+   backend.  ``` entry_points={"grimoire_elk": "mybackend =
+   package.subpackage:get_connectors"}, ``` **NOTE**: In the previous
+   example, `get_connectors` is a function that returns the backend
+   classes needed to enrich a datasource. Take the next snipped as an
+   example: ``` def get_connectors():     return {"backend": [MyBackend,
+   MyBackendOcean, MyBackendEnrich, MyBackendCommand]} ```
+
+**Bug fixes:**
+
+ * [raw/slack] Handle fields in "data.file"\
+   Avoid the 'Failed to insert data to ES' error when a document contains
+   at least one immense term in 'data.file' (whose UTF8 encoding is
+   longer than the max length 32766).
