# Release notes for Application Observability plugin 1.43

## 1.43.0

Released on 2024-12-09.

- Remove the Community Slack menu item
- Users can now control the service map zoom level with only the mouse wheel. Previously, you had to press Ctrl/Cmd and use the mouse wheel.
- The Logs volume panel now takes into account `detected_level` values in addition to `level` values when calculating log level distribution
- Add an instrumentation quality check for the existence of the `instance_id` label in runtime metrics
- Fix `AVG` aggregation not working in the service overview duration panel
- Fix legend interpolation when switching from Application Observability to Explore using the **Explore** button
- Fix the currently selected group by option being reset when users navigate from the service overview to the operation overview or downstream/upstream services
- If you deactivate Tempo metrics generation in the cloud, this will now completely disable it instead of placing it in dry-run mode, where active series count metrics are still generated
