+
+#### [Fix that ImmutablePolicyImports.getPolicyImport with arbitrary CharSequence did not work](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/1674)
+
+A model class' implementation signature did not work when using plain `CharSequence` instead of using an
+instance of `PolicyId` (inheriting from `CharSequence`).
+
+#### [Fix JsonSchema for policy "announcements"](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/1675)
+
+The JsonSchema documentation for the "announcement" part of a Policy was wrongly documented / missing.
+
+#### [Fix non-correct WARN log about potentially failing connections status](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/1678)
+
+When connections did not contain any `target`, a `WARN` message was logged on every status-check of the
+connection due to a wrong assumption in how the warning message is determined.
+
+#### [Fix MergeThing command being used for creating new things did not respect "inlinePolicy"](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/1680)
+
+After the addition of the [functionality to create a thing when it did not yet exist when using a "merge thing" command](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/issues/1614)
+which was added to Ditto 3.3.0, using an inline policy `"_policy"` and creating an inline policy as part of creating the
+thing did not yet work.
+
+### Helm Chart
+
+The [Ditto Helm Chart](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/tree/master/deployment/helm), which was enhanced and changed 
+a lot for version 3.3.0, contained some configuration bugs which are also addressed with this bugfix release.
+
+#### [Allow connectivity inter cluster communication](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/1676)
+
+By default, allow connecting to hostnames local in the Kubernetes cluster where Ditto is deployed.  
+Previously, this was disabled by default.
