+:pull: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/
+* The privileges for attaching alerts to cases has changed. Now, you need at least `Read` privileges for Security and `All` privileges for Cases ({pull}147985[#147985]).
+* Rule API changes are introduced with conditional actions. In {elastic-sec} 8.7 and earlier, action frequencies were set on a rule level by defining the `throttle` field. In 8.8 and later, action frequencies are set on an action level and the `throttle` field is replaced by the `frequency` and `alert_filters` fields. The following APIs are affected:
+** <<rules-api-get,Get rule>>
+** <<rules-api-find,Find rules>>
+** <<rules-api-create,Create rule>>
+** <<rules-api-update,Update rule>>
+** <<bulk-actions-rules-api,Bulk rule actions>>
