originally in the docs.
- [11926](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11926): Decision to publish docs should not consider next major and minor alpha release versions.

- [11792](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11792): Bypass Windows path length restrictions upon saving and reading a model archive in `rasa.engine.storage.LocalModelStorage`.

Improvements

- [11762](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11762): Added support for camembert french bert model

Bugfixes
- [11818](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11818): Fixes `RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Bot.set_webhook' was never awaited` issue encountered when starting the rasa server,
which caused the Telegram bot to be unresponsive.

Improved Documentation
- [11768](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11768): The documentation was updated for Buttons using messages that start with '/'.
Previously, it wrongly stated that messages with '/' bypass NLU, which is not the case.
- [11799](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11799): Add documentation for Rasa Pro Services upgrades.

- [11721](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11721): Add docs on how to set up additional data lakes for Rasa Pro analytics pipeline.
- [11724](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11724): Update migration guide and form docs with prescriptive recommendation on how to implement dynamic forms with custom slot mappings.

Improvements
- [11732](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11732): Updated numpy and scikit learn version to fix vulnerabilities of those dependencies

- [11561](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11561): Added option `--offset-timestamps-by-seconds` to offset the timestamp of events when using `rasa export`
- [11578](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11578): Rasa supports native installations on Apple Silicon (M1 / M2). Please
follow the installation instructions and take a look at the limitations.
- [11596](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11596): Caching `Message` and `Features` fingerprints unless they are altered, saving up to 2/3 of fingerprinting time in our tests.
- [11598](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11598): Added package versions of component dependencies as an additional part of fingerprinting calculation. Upgrading an dependency will thus lead to a retraining of the component in the future. Also, by changing fingerprint calculation, the next training after this change will be a complete retraining.
- [11623](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11623): Export events continuously rather than loading all events in memory first when
using `rasa export`. Events will be streamed right from the start rather
than loading all events first and pushing them to the broker afterwards.
- [11568](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11568): Adds new dependency pluggy, with which it was possible to implement new plugin functionality.
This plugin manager enables the extension and/or enhancement of the Rasa command line interface with functionality made available in the rasa-plus package.

Bugfixes
- [11575](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11575): Fix `BlockingIOError` when running `rasa interactive`, after the upgrade of `prompt-toolkit` dependency.
- [11395](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11395): Fixes a bug that lead to initial slot values being incorporated into all rules by default, thus breaking most rules when the slot value changed from its initial value
- [11429](https://github.com/rasahq/rasa/issues/11429): Made logistic regression classifier output a proper intent ranking and made ranking length configurable

Deprecations and Removals
