      • Decision Engine support started in 3.4.4
    • Collaboration with HTCondor
      • Blackhole prevention (3.5)
      • Singularity invocation via HTCondor (3.5)
      • Use of tokens (security without x509 certificates)
    • Automatic Factory configuration generation, via CRIC (3.5)
    • Upgrade Frontend and Factory monitoring
