-[[notable-8.16.0]]
-==== Notable issues fixed
+[[featured-8.16.0]]
+==== New features and enhancements
 
-* When a conditional evaluation encounter an error in the expression, the event that triggered the issue is sent to pipeline's DLQ, if enabled for the executing pipeline. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/16423[#16423]
+* {ls} now gracefully handles `if` conditionals that can't be evaluated (https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/16322[#16322]), either by dropping
+the event or by sending it to the pipeline's DLQ if enabled. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/16423[#16423]
 
-* Fixed the `if` statement expression evaluation against runtime errors that could crash the pipeline, just logging the offending event and continuing with the next in the batch. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/16322[#16322]
+* Added an escape hatch to prevent the new Health API's status from affecting the top-level `status` field of Logstash's existing API responses. By setting the `logstash.forceApiStatus` system property to `green` you can force the other APIs to return the previous hard-coded `green` value. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/16535[#16535]
