| These improvements can be quite noticeable, even more so when users have executed tens of thousands of workflows and jobs. | ||
| For example, we have measured a performance improvement of around 18x (18 times, not percent!) when listing all the details of a thousand workflows with `reana-client-go`. | ||

Should we remove this section, summarising it in the ... and more! one? Otherwise, should we add a screenshot here?

Yes, we could put it into "and more" section.

I have kept it for now in a separate section, but I can move it to the other one if we think it's not necessary to have a dedicated section. In this second case, should I keep the screenshot?

relieves the limit on the number of restarts of a workflow, allows users to automount any CVMFS repository, provides support for deployment on ARM architecture hardware, and brings further performance improvements and bug fixes.

| REANA already offers the possibility to restart a workflow, that is to execute a new workflow whose workspace is shared with the previous one. This comes in handy when developing a new analysis, for example to test small changes to the code or to fix some issues. |

... that is to execute a new workflow run on the same workspace as the previously executed workflow. This comes in handy when developing a new analysis, for example to test small changes to the code without having to restart the whole analysis from scratch.

| ### Performance improvements | ||
|
|
||
| Similarly to the previous release, REANA 0.9.2 brings some more performance improvements. | ||
| In particular, the usage of the database has been optimised in order to reduce the time needed to perform some of the most common operations, including listing and filtering workflows and jobs. |

| While users have been able to mount and access CVMFS repositories from their jobs, it was not possible to configure and access additional repositories other than the ones allowed by REANA. | ||
|
|
||
| Thanks to CVMFS CSI v2, REANA 0.9.2 allows users to mount any available repository, as long as CVMFS is correctly configured in the Kubernetes cluster. To learn more about this, you can check out the official docs of CVMFS CSI on [adding CVMFS repository configuration](https://github.com/cvmfs-contrib/cvmfs-csi/blob/master/docs/how-to-use.md#adding-cvmfs-repository-configuration). |

Starting from this release, we are publishing multi-platform container infrastructure images on DockerHub with two supported variants, linux/adm64 and linux/arm64. This change is fully transparent and the correct image variant will be automatically chosen when pulling the image based on the machine architecture where REANA is being deployed.
