+- Fixed an error that occurred when using generic
+  plan that generates a lookup join on indexes containing identity
+  computed columns. [#162290][#162290]
+- Fixes a bug where generating a debug zip causes
+  a node to OOM. This OOM happens when a log file contains a malformed
+  log and is using json (or json-compact) formatting. [#163802][#163802]
