+Compared to the latest release [3.6.4](release_notes_364.html), the following changes and bugfixes were added.
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+This is a complete list of the
+[merged pull requests](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pulls?q=is%3Apr+milestone%3A3.6.5).
+
+#### Fix generated default for WoT array properties contained one generated "neutral element"
+
+PR [#2086](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2086) fixes that during the WoT 
+[Thing Skeleton generation](basic-wot-integration.html#thing-skeleton-generation-upon-thing-creation) for `array` data
+types a single "neutral element" (e.g. an empty object) was generated as the default value. 
+This was not intended and is now fixed.
+
+#### Add missing thingId for warning log message in WoT validation
+
+PR [#2087](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2087) provides additionally the `thingId` of the thing which was 
+not valid according to its WoT model in the log message. This helps to identify the thing which caused the validation error.
+
+#### Fix Gateway trace not keeping correct parent "hierarchy" when receiving existing "traceparent" header
+
+When distributed tracing was configured in Ditto and external systems provided a `traceparent` header to Ditto, the
+first span created in Ditto was not correctly assigned as a child of the span which was created by the external system.  
+This has been fixed.
+
+
+### Helm Chart
+
+The [Ditto Helm Chart](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/tree/master/deployment/helm) contained some configuration
+bugs and enhancements which are also addressed with this bugfix release.
+
+#### Fixed configuration bug in WoT validation-context and log-warning-instead-of-failing-api-calls settings
+
+PR [#2085](https://github.com/eclipse-ditto/ditto/pull/2085) fixed a bug in the Helm configuration which caused
+the WoT validation configuration not to be applied correctly.
