 ### Bug fixes
 
 - We make sure that the automatic cleanup job only runs before deployment (instead of cron schedule cleanup).
+- Previously it was possible MongoDB replica set and users were left randomly uninitialised after a deployment. MongoDB initialisation container now retries on failure.
+- On some machines 'file' utility was not preinstalled causing provision to fail. We now install the utility if it doesn't exist.
