Hey @ksatter I assigned you this issue and moved it to the current release in the g-community board. Please let me know if I can help contribute to this blog post and CHANGELOG.

@mike-j-thomas when you get the chance can you please help us with images for the main blog post tile and the features under the "Primary" improvements section Thanks :)

Hey @zhumo if you get the chance today, can you please write the "Fleet Desktop out of beta" section for the release post?

I think three sentences that describes the improvements made for the stable release makes sense. Please include these sentences in a comment in this issue and mention @ksatter so that Kathy can add this section to the release post :)

@ksatter, I committed images to #6256. I do not have an image for the following:

Fleet Premium and Fleet Free: Improvements to the accuracy of vulnerability detections

and

Fleet Premium and Fleet Free: Fleet Desktop out of beta

I do not know what image would be relevant to these, I think you can publish the post without these.
