We are delighted to announce the availability of version 20200429153636 of Chef Automate 2.

## New Features

- Pick and Choose: Add policies when you make an API token with the new policy dropdown menu.
- The Whole Nine Yards: Use the new `chef-automate backup integrity` command to validate your Chef Habitat Builder snapshots. This command includes subcommands to run validation checks and show snapshots' validation status.

## Improvements

- What's Not To Like?: **Apply Changes** in Project Filtering appears selectable in expected and appropriate situations.
- Brownie Points: Take a look at our documented [IAM Actions](https://automate.chef.io/docs/iam-actions/).
- Heads Up: New Scan Jobs require a defined version for Chef Automate Profiles and validates this requirement at creation, which ensures the profile's searchability and prevents profile malformation.
- Make a Bee-Line: We added a "created\_at" field for the Nodes API endpoint, so you can see when the node first reported into Chef Automate.

## Bug Fixes

- Easy as Pie: We fixed the breadcrumb navigation, so now you can navigate easily through pages in Compliance Reports with filters intact.
- Know Your Onions: We fixed our API versioning, making the [API Docs](https://automate.chef.io/docs/api/) even more useful.
- Rise and Shine: We restored SSM node scanning functionality for AWS EC2 and Azure VM Scan Jobs.
- Bee's Knees: Chef Automate allows buffer size configuration and rejects reports when too many messages exist in the buffer during ingestion.
