Field fixes
| Ticket No. | Description | Severity |
| 29475 | Adjusted the transaction-manager container to enable OpenSSL to accept intermediate CAs in the trust store to be treated as trust anchors, in the same way as the self-signed root CA certificates. This makes it possible to trust certificates issued by an intermediate CA without having to trust its ancestor root CA. | Critical |
| 29458 | Changes made to obtain BSL information from the Backup CR instead of the Backup policy. This will prevent restore failures if the backup policy is removed. | Major |
| 26587 | A change was made to remove k8s name validation for link names as it is not required. Going forward in fusion-ui v2.7+ this will no longer be an issue because the UI is matching the CLI validation regarding the link name. | Normal |
| 27145 | The limits of the memory manager container have been increased for some of the fusion operators to resolve the pod being terminated due to the OOMKilled errors. | Major |
| 23428 | Changes were made to the log package upload experience in the Fusion UI to allow the user to provide both a severity and a text description when creating a new support ticket. | Major |
| 25260 | Intermittently submariner gets uninstalled in Fusion 2.6.1 and earlier releases due to version incompatibility. In Fusion 2.7.1, OCP has been upgraded to 4.12 and Submariner has been upgraded to 0.15.2 to resolve the issue. | Major |
