+# Fine Grained News
+
+
+Welcome to the July 2024 edition of Fine Grained News! We are thrilled to bring you the latest updates, features, and community highlights from OpenFGA. This month has included releases, performance improvements, and insights shared through our community meetings and presentations.
+
+
+We value your feedback and invite you to participate in our [2024 OpenFGA Community Survey](https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OPENFGA2024). Your insights help us understand your needs better and improve our offerings. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and let your voice be heard.
+
+
+## Improvements
+
+
+**Latest Features**
+
+
+- We’ve introduced consistency options for query requests. This new, experimental, feature provides more flexibility and control over how queries are executed, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of query results. [Learn more about this update](https://openfga.dev/blog/stronger-consistency-options-announcement).
+
+
+- We’re now publishing images to `ghcr.io/openfga/openfga` as an alternative to DockerHub, thanks to the contribution from [@JAORMX](https://github.com/JAORMX). This provides an additional option for accessing and deploying our containers. [Read more](https://github.com/openfga/openfga/pull/1775).
+
+
+**Performance Improvements**
+
+
+- We've improved our Check latency up to 20X in some scenarios in OpenFGA [v1.5.7](https://github.com/openfga/openfga/releases/tag/v1.5.7) and [v1.5.6](https://github.com/openfga/openfga/releases/tag/v1.5.6).
+
+
+If you have any feedback, or want to try a feature early, or are interested to learn more, please reach out!
+
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+
+Several breaking changes related to the storage interface [have been introduced](https://github.com/openfga/openfga/releases/tag/v1.5.7). These changes should not impact your usage of OpenFGA unless you are implementing a custom storage adapter for OpenFGA.
+
+
+## In Progress
+
+
+- [Additional Consistency Options for OpenFGA queries](https://github.com/openfga/roadmap/issues/54): We've just shipped the first iteration of this feature, we're working on adding support for it in more SDKs. We’ll also be working on adding a consistency token in the future.
+
+
+- [Telemetry for SDKs](https://github.com/openfga/roadmap/issues/41): We shipped OpenTelemetry Metrics support for Python and Javascript. We’ll be adding metrics support to the rest of the SDKs and then add support for tracing and logging. If you have feedback regarding our OpenTelemetry support, please do reach out on any of our community channels.
+
+
+- We’ll keep working on [Performance Improvements](https://github.com/openfga/roadmap/issues/61) for Check, List Objects and List Users APIs.
+
+
+- We’ll be adding additional [authorization options for OpenFGA](https://github.com/openfga/roadmap/issues/30) to restrict API credentials to performing specific actions in OpenFGA stores.
+
+
+-  We collaborated with members of the CNCF [TAG-Security team](https://github.com/cncf/tag-security) for a few weeks to get it wrapped up (thanks [Krishna Krishna](https://github.com/krishnakv) and [Eddie](https://github.com/eddie-knight) for your help).
+
+
+## Community Highlights
+

+
+
+- This month, [Andres Aguiar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaguiar/) and [Damian Schenkelman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/damianschenkelman/) appeared in the [Identerati Office Hours](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ups1FFxK3VE&pp=ygUHT3BlbkZHQQ%3D%3D) livestream for an in-depth exploration of OpenFGA. This video covers advanced topics and provides valuable insights into the capabilities and implementation of OpenFGA. Whether you're a seasoned user or new to OpenFGA, this deep dive is packed with information that will enhance your understanding and usage of the platform.
