+# HBASE  2.4.12 Release Notes

+These release notes cover new developer and user-facing incompatibilities, important issues, features, and major improvements.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26581](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26581) | *Minor* | **Add metrics around failed replication edits**
+
+Adds new metrics sink.failedBatches and source.failedBatches to replication metrics, allowing one to track failures on both sides of a replication stream. As with other source metrics, the new source.failedBatches is reported globally and by peer id.

+* [HBASE-26618](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26618) | *Minor* | **Involving primary meta region in meta scan with CatalogReplicaLoadBalanceSimpleSelector**
+
+When META replica LoadBalance mode is enabled at client-side, clients will try to read from one META region first. If META location is from any non-primary META regions, in case of errors, it will fall back to the primary META region.
