  This APAR includes new features and minor fixes.
  
  New features
  ------------
  
  OMEGAMON Data Broker:
  
  -  Support for TLSv1.3
  
     Broker forwarders can now use either TLSv1.3 or TLSv1.2 to
     connect to sinks (OMEGAMON Data Connect).
  
     Previously, Broker forwarders supported only TLSv1.2.
  
  -  Support for larger cells
  
     Broker stores now support cell sizes up to 1 GB. The previous
     maximum was 65536 bytes.
  
     A Broker store must define cells that are large enough to
     accommodate the incoming records from the data source. The
     size of incoming records depends on the data source.
  
     OMEGAMON Data Provider documentation in IBM Docs deliberately
     does not specify the maximum cell size.
  
     OMEGAMON Data Provider users do not need to determine which
     cell sizes to specify. If a data source requires values that
     are different to the defaults, then the documentation for the
     data source will supply values for you to copy into the
     Broker configuration member.
  
     This new support for larger cells is described here,
     in this APAR, so that data sources that require larger cells
     can identify this APAR as a prerequisite.
  
  OMEGAMON Data Connect:
  
  -  New OpenTelemetry output (experimental)
  
     The new OpenTelemetry (OTel) output sends OpenTelemetry
     Protocol (OTLP) requests over gRPC (OTLP/gRPC) to
     destinations such as Instana, other telemetry backends, and
     OpenTelemetry Collector. This output is experimental and
     subject to change.
