   For example: `acl_order = jwt,http`, this will make sure `jwt` is always checked before `http`,

 - Added configurations to enable more `client.disconnected` events (and counter bumps) [#9267](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9267).
   Prior to this change, the `client.disconnected` event (and counter bump) is triggered when a client
   performs a 'normal' disconnect, or is 'kicked' by system admin, but NOT triggered when a
   stale connection had to be 'discarded' (for clean session) or 'takenover' (for non-clean session).
   Now it is possible to set configs `broker.client_disconnect_discarded` and `broker.client_disconnect_takenover` to `on` to enable the event in these scenarios.
 
+- For Rule-Engine resource creation failure, delay before the first retry [#9313](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9313).
+  Prior to this change, the retry delay was added *after* the retry failure.

 ## Bug fixes
 
 - Fix that after uploading a backup file with an non-ASCII filename, HTTP API `GET /data/export` fails with status code 500 [#9224](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9224).
