+# Release 0.65

+
+## Promiscuous mode for MACVLAN interfaces
+
+MACVLAN interfaces are now created in promiscuous mode by default. #2460
+
+Before this change, users might have noticed that some traffic flows were not passing in and out the interface.
+
+## No need for GitHub token
+
+The download script no longer uses the GitHub API to fetch the latest available release, and instead relies on public GitHub endpoints to fetch it.
+
+This removes the need to provide GitHub token to the download script in the proxy-based environments.
+
+## Env vars support in startup configs
+
+Now it is possible to use [environment variables](../manual/topo-def-file.md#environment-variables) in startup configs. #2471
+
+This enables startup config customization at runtime, by embedding the variables in the startup config body. Both file-based and inline startup configs are supported.
+
+```
+❯ cat cfg-with-env.cfg
+set / system information location ${SRL_LOCATION:=default-value}
+```
+
+The snippet above will have the `SRL_LOCATION` variable set to `default-value` if the variable is not set in the environment and will use the env var value otherwise.
+
+## Miscellaneous
+
+* json output format added to [netem](../cmd/tools/netem/show.md#format) output #2454
+* new logging library with structured logging #2449
+* updated VS Code extension documentation #2427 #2451
