Removes conditional topics for Kafka outputs
Details
The Kafka output no longer supports conditional topics. For more information, refer to (#176879).
Most Fleet installed integrations are now read-only and labelled with a Managed tag in the Kibana UI
Details
Integration content installed by Fleet is no longer editable. This content is tagged with Managed in the Kibana UI, and is Elastic managed. This content cannot be edited or deleted, however managed visualizations, dashboards, and saved searches can be cloned. The clones can be customized.
When cloning a dashboard the cloned panels become entirely independent copies that are unlinked from the original configurations and dependencies.
Managed content relating to specific visualization editors such as Lens, TSVB, and Maps, the clones retain the original reference configurations. The same applies to editing any saved searches in a managed visualization.
For more information, refer to (#172393).

, is_finite
, and is_infinite
functions from ES|QL
Details
These functions have been removed from ES|QL queries as they are not supported. Errors would be thrown when trying to use them. For more information, refer to (#174674).
