Summary

Please provide a short summary about the new values/benefits of the new features here:

The Terminate or Update contract agreements feature allows to finish contracts technically, so that data transfer is stopped based on the contract. This requires the legal ability to end the contract in place first and is only the technical means to stop data transfer on the contract
The Multiple EDC management and Catalog Federation feature allows to manage a hierarchy of provider EDCs used for different purposes or by different departments and still provide a single entry point for consumers who want to access data from the provider. The usage of the catalog crawler improves the usability by caching catalog data which prevents time consuming data research within the providers connector hierarchy.
