-* The log message `ZWEAM001I` is now issued when API Mediation Layer starts. ((#3523)[https://github.com/zowe/api-layer/issues/3523])
-* SSL is now disabled when profile `attls` is active to simplify AT-TLS configuration. ((#3521)[https://github.com/zowe/api-layer/issues/3521])

-* Moved OIDC access token from cookie to special header. If the user ID from the token cannot be mapped to a mainframe account, the access token is now sent via the request header OIDC-token. ((#3513)[https://github.com/zowe/api-layer/issues/3513])
