The latest demo was for 2.11.0. Even that I guess since the v2 is in maintain mode, there will be no video...

We shouldn't mentioned this one. I made a mistake. There is no functional change, it is just fix for pipeline/testing. It doesn't worth to be here.

I guess (in general) there should be anchor, like .../CHANGELOG.md#2183. But actually Zowe explorer doesn't have any.

### Zowe API Mediation Layer

* Fixed default eureka intervals of the Caching Service. ([#4225](https://github.com/zowe/api-layer/issues/4225))
* Fixed the API ML services logs so that "URL/Path not transformed" entries omit API ML services. ([#4292](https://github.com/zowe/api-layer/issues/4292))

It is more detail message than in the original APIML's changelog. We should change the text in there as well

Original text: Fix URLs for onboarding when AT-TLS is enabled and gateway read a keyring with empty values

There are two issues:

  • a wrong Gateway URL in API Catalog when AT-TLS is enabled
  • a startup issue is ICSF keyring is used

This text looks to me that the issue are releated, but not.

Ok. I changed this to:

Please verify if this is correct. Thanks
