+FlowForge 1.10 release includes improvements to device management and importing environment variable templates.
+
+<!--more-->
+## Import Environment Variable Templates  [#2372](https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge/issues/2372)
+
+FlowForge 1.10 now allows users to import environment variable templates. This makes it much easier and less error prone to maintain and add new environment variables to Node-RED instances running on FlowForge. 
+
+
+## DevOps Pipelines now can include devices [#2243](https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge/issues/2243)
+DevOps pipelines have proven very popular for creating dev/test/production environments for Node-Red flow development. Now, devices can be associated with a pipeline so when a snapshot is created it can be pushed to all the devices associated with the pipeline.  This will improve the overall quality and reliability of Node-RED development for remote devices.
+
+## Devices can now access the team library [#2294](https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge/issues/2294)
+
+Team libraries allow Node-RED development team to share common flows and nodes through a shared library. Until the 1.10 release, Node-RED running remotely on a device did not have access to the team library. This limitation is now removed so device development can benefit from reusing standard flows.
+
