+## Ticket Details
+### Test Connection & Auto Import for Terraform Building Blocks
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+When creating a Terraform building block in the UI, you can now test the connection to the target
+git repository and automatically import all Terraform inputs & outputs. Please note that for
+the time being this is only supported for public git providers GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps & Bitbucket.
+Self-hosted variants are not supported at the moment.
+
+#### How to use
+When entering a valid repository URL in the Terraform building block creation form, a new button will
+appear called "Test Connection". You can click this button to test the connection to the repository.
+When landing on the "Inputs" part of the creation form, you will then be prompted to decide which
+inputs & outputs to import.
+
+### Fix sorting of Usage Reports and Chargeback Statements
+**Audience:** Partner, Customer<br>
+
+#### Description
+When further pages of usage reports or chargeback statements were loaded, the sorting was not applied correctly
+on the further pages. This fix ensures that the sorting is maintained when further pages are loaded.
+
+### Admin permissions for API Keys to manage Service Instances
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+This release adds new admin permissions for API keys to manage Service Instances across all workspaces.
+Regular permissions for managing Service Instances within the API key's workspace remain available.
+
+### Fixed HTTP response status codes for meshServiceInstance API
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+We have made a minor fix to HTTP response status codes returned by the meshObject API
+endpoints for meshServiceInstance when submitting a duplicate service instanceId.
+Please review the details of this release note for the specific changes.
+
+#### How to use
+The API operation POST /api/meshobjects/meshServiceInstances now returns a 409 status
+code when a meshServiceInstance with the same instanceId already exists. 
+Previously, the operation returned a HTTP 500 status code for this case.
+
+Please note that this change is introduced without an explicit change in the API version for this endpoint
+because we consider this to be a bug fix.
+
+### Re-enable Access to old Projects with Invalid Deletion State
+**Audience:** Customer<br>
+
+#### Description
+If a tenant deletion was rejected by a platform operator in August or September 2024, the project did
+not become active again after the rejection. The affected projects are now active again and can be 
+accessed by the application teams. Only a very little amount of projects were affected by this issue.
+
+### Don't show deleted OSB Plans in Marketplace
+**Audience:** Partner, Customer<br>
+
+#### Description
+Deleted OSB service plans were included in the internal pricing section of a service in the Marketplace. The
+deleted plans are now not shown anymore for the internal pricing section as intended.
+
+### Fix Forecast for Unused Payment Methods
+**Audience:** Partner, Customer<br>
+
+#### Description
+Previously, the forecast in the payment method graph (i.e., the dotted line)
+sometimes indicated a cost increase for payment methods that have already
+been replaced by a different payment method. This has been fixed now, so that
+the dotted line remains flat to correctly indicate that no further costs are
+expected for this payment method.
+
+### Moved Building Block Supported Platforms
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+To streamline the Building Block configuration process, we have moved the Supported Platforms selection from the Implementation step to the 
+General step, directly grouped with the Building Block Type selection if a Tenant Building Block is selected.
+
+### Test connection and import for Terraform Building Blocks
+**Audience:** Operator<br>
+
+#### Description
+You can now test your connection to your SSH & HTTPS git repository for Terraform Building Blocks
+and optionally import your inputs and outputs directly from the detected Terraform files.
+Please note that this is currently only supported for cloud-hosted instances of GitHub, GitLab,
+BitBucket and Azure DevOps. Self-hosted git providers are not supported at this time.
