(BZ#1901011)<br><li> Adding a message banner to the web administration welcome page is straight forward using custom branding that only contains a preamble section. </li> An example of preamble branding is given here: <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1783329." target="blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1783329.</a> In an engine upgrade, the custom preamble brand remains in place and will work without issue.<br>During engine backup and subsequent restore, on engine restore the custom preamble branding needs to be manually restored/reinstalled and verified. (BZ#1804774)<br><li> The column name threadspercore in the Red hat Virtualization manager Dashboard is being deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.</li> In version 4.4.7.2 the column name for threadspercore will be changed to numberofthreads.<br>In the Data Warehouse, the old name will be retained as an additional alias, resulting in 2 columns providing the same data: numberofthreads and threadspercore, and threadspercore will be removed in a future version.
