| 15 | +## New features |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +- **Model:** 2 new subcommands were added |

| 20 | +- **Environment:** Move from experimental to promoted command. |
| 21 | +- **End-To-End testing:** Starting to implement e2e tests for commands using Bash Automated Testing System. |
| 22 | + |

| 33 | + - Moved registry utilities to meshkit |
| 34 | + - Migrated dependencies from layer5io/* to meshery/* |
