Apps defining their own REST API viewsets (and requiring Nautobot v2.4.0 or later) can typically remove most explicit calls to <code>select_related()</code> and <code>prefetch_related()</code>; furthermore, in order to benefit most from the <code>exclude_m2m=true</code> query parameter, apps in Nautobot v2.4.0 and later <strong>should not</strong> explicitly <code>prefetch_related()</code> many-to-many related fields any longer. (Explicit calls to <code>select_related()</code> and <code>prefetch_related()</code> may still be necessary and appropriate if your API serializer needs to perform nested lookups, as the automatic optimization here currently only understands directly related object lookups.)</li>

This UI can also be accessed from a link in the footer of any Nautobot page.</p>
+<p>Nautobot v2.4 adds a new tool to render Jinja2 templates directly from the UI. Users may supply their own template body and context data to be rendered, with access to to Nautobot's built-in Jinja2 tags and filters. Additionally, a new REST API endpoint <code>/api/core/render-jinja-template/</code> has been added to achieve the same functionaly. This can be used by users and Apps such as <a href="https://docs.nautobot.com/projects/golden-config/en/latest/">Nautobot Golden Config</a> to assist with the development and validation of Jinja2 template content.

-<p>When running in a Kubernetes (k8s) deployment, such as with Nautobot's <a href="https://docs.nautobot.com/projects/helm-charts/en/stable/">Helm chart</a>, Nautobot now supports an alternative method of running Nautobot Jobs - instead of (or in addition to) running one or more Celery Workers as long-lived persistent pods, Nautobot can dispatch Nautobot Jobs to be executed as short-lived <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/job/">Kubernetes Job</a> task pods.</p>
-<p>In support of this functionality, Nautobot now supports the definition of <a href="../user-guide/platform-functionality/jobs/jobqueue.html"><code>JobQueue</code> records</a>, which represent either a Celery task queue <strong>or</strong> a Kubernetes job queue. Nautobot Jobs can be associated to queues of either or both types, and the Job Queue selected when submitting a Job will dictate whether it is executed via Celery or via Kubernetes.</p>

+<h4 id="rest-api-exclude_m2m-support">REST API <code>exclude_m2m</code> Support<a class="headerlink" href="#rest-api-exclude_m2m-support" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h4>
+<p>Added REST API support for an <code>?exclude_m2m=true</code> query parameter. Specifying this parameter prevents the API from retrieving and serializing many-to-many relations on the requested object(s) (for example, the list of all Prefixes associated with a given VRF), which can in some cases greatly improve the performance of the API and reduce memory and network overhead substantially.</p>
+<p>A future Nautobot major release may change the REST API behavior to make <code>exclude_m2m=true</code> the default behavior.</p>
+<p>Additionally, the <code>DynamicModelChoiceField</code> and related form fields have been enhanced to use <code>exclude_m2m=true</code> when querying the REST API to populate their options, which can in some cases significantly improve the responsiveness of these fields.</p>
