+
+Icinga 2 v2.8 supports the following features inside the cluster:
+
+* Forward signing requests from clients through a satellite instance to a signing master ("CA Proxy").
+* Signing requests without a ticket. The master instance allows to list and sign CSRs ("On-Demand Signing").
+
+In order to use these features, **all instances must be upgraded to v2.8**.

+Icinga 2 v2.8 implements a new flapping detection algorithm which splits the

+attributes. More details can be found [here](08-advanced-topics.md#check-flapping).
