#### Documentation
* Update the release doc to remove the announcement as the tests are through
e2e rather than manually.
* Update the release notification mail a little.

# Observability Analysis Platform
-SkyWalking is an Observability Analysis Platform that provides full
observability to services running in both brown and green zones, as well as
services using a hybrid model.
+SkyWalking OAP and UI provides dozens of features to support observability
analysis for your services, cloud infrastructure, open-source components, and
more.
-## Capabilities
-SkyWalking covers all 3 areas of observability, including, **Tracing**,
**Metrics** and **Logging**.
-
-- **Tracing**. SkyWalking native data formats, and Zipkin traces of v1 and v2
formats are supported.
-- **Metrics**. SkyWalking supports mature metrics formats, including native
meter format, OTEL metrics format, and Telegraf format.
-SkyWalking integrates with Service Mesh platforms, typically Istio and Envoy,
to build observability into the data plane
-or control plane. Also, SkyWalking native agents can run in the metrics mode,
which greatly improves performances.
-- **Logging**. Includes logs collected from disk or through network. Native
agents could bind the tracing context with logs automatically,
-or use SkyWalking to bind the trace and log through the text content.
+Besides those out-of-box features for monitoring, users could leverage the
powerful and flexible analysis language to build their own analysis and
visualization.
There are 3 powerful and native language engines designed to analyze
observability data from the above areas.
1. [Observability Analysis Language](oal.md) processes native traces and
service mesh data.
1. [Meter Analysis Language](mal.md) is responsible for metrics calculation
for native meter data, and adopts a stable and widely used metrics system, such
as Prometheus and OpenTelemetry.
1. [Log Analysis Language](lal.md) focuses on log contents and collaborate
with Meter Analysis Language.
+
+SkyWalking community is willing to accept your monitoring extension powered by
these languages, if the monitoring is public and general usable.

independent ebpf agents.
+- **Event**. Event is a special kind of data, which is used to record the
important moments in the system, such as version upgrade, configuration change,
etc.
+ Linking the events with metrics could help on explain the peaks or valleys
in the metrics, and linking the events with traces and logs could help on
troubleshooting root cause.

## Why use SkyWalking?
SkyWalking provides solutions for observing and monitoring distributed
systems, in many different scenarios. First of all,
-like traditional approaches, SkyWalking provides auto instrument agents for
services, such as Java, C#, Node.js, Go, PHP and Nginx LUA.

In multi-language, continuously deployed environments, cloud native
infrastructures grow more powerful but also more complex.

distributed system.
