+## Ticket Details
+### Fixed Users with Same Email Not Shown in Search
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Previously in the meshStack access control, the search function only showed one user when multiple users shared 
+the same email address. This has now been fixed, and the updated search algorithm correctly displays all users associated with 
+the same email.
+
+### Improved logging for Terraform Runner
+**Audience:** Partner, User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Previously, when a terraform run failed, there were no error messages in the logs. This made it difficult to diagnose the issue. 
+Now, the logs will contain the error message, making it easier to identify the problem.
+
+### Improve performance of background jobs
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+In some environments background jobs like service instance polling or service instance provisioning/deprovisioning
+took unexpectedly long. We improved the way these background jobs are executed and expect them to run more reliably
+now, which results in quick executions of e.g. service instance operations.
+
+### Improve performance of policy evaluation
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+Policies defined in meshStack are evaluated hourly and if any violations are found, they are persisted.
+Additionally policies are evaluated against certain workspaces if e.g. users are added or removed, projects
+are deleted, etc. The evaluation did sometimes take unexpectedly long and did slow down operations like a 
+project deletion where policies are evaluated. The issue is fixed now and the slow operations should not
+occur anymore.
+
+### Show Correct Report Category for CO2 Cost Line Items
+**Audience:** Operator<br>
+
+#### Description
+Previously, line items in a chargeback statement returned by the
+meshChargeback API always had the reportCategory attribute set to BILLING,
+even if the costs of that line item were denominated in kgCO2e (kilograms of
+carbon dioxide equivalent). This was fixed, so that line items that describe
+environmental costs have the reportCategory set to ENVIRONMENTAL.
+
+### Improve error message for duplicate tag keys
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+Error messages for duplicate tag keys when working on the tags in the Admin Area were improved.
+More details are now provided on why there is a conflict and how to resolve it.
+
+### Fix Display Name of Building Block Definition IO
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Previously, when you update the display name of a Building Block Definition Input or Output, the display name was not set correctly and was always auto-generated based on the name of the input/output. This is fixed now.
+
+### Terraform Logs are shown under Logs
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+During the recent rework of our logging system, Terraform logs were mistakenly displayed under the "Remarks" section. This issue has now been resolved, and logs will appear under "Logs" again.
