+
+## Recent Feature Highlights/Improvements
+
+1. [Make Rate-Limiting Response Headers Configurable in `limit-count` Plugin](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/11831) (Contributor: [shreemaan-abhishek](https://github.com/shreemaan-abhishek))
+
+This PR allows users to configure the names of rate-limiting response headers using plugin metadata when using the `limit-count` plugin.
+
+2. [Support the Configuration of `system` in `ssl_trusted_certificate`](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/11809) (Contributor: [Revolyssup](https://github.com/Revolyssup))
+
+With this feature, users can set `system` as the value when configuring `ssl_trusted_certificate`, to use the system-defined CA certificated.
+
+3. [Refactor `workflow` Plugin Registration](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/11832) (Contributor: [Revolyssup](https://github.com/Revolyssup))
+
+Current logic requires the table `supported_actions` defined in `workflow.lua` to be changed when any new plugin is added to the `workflow` plugin. With this change, the registration in the table is offloaded to the newly added plugin by implementing the function `workflow_handler()`.
+
+4. [Allow Workflow Configuration without `case`](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/11787) (Contributor: [Revolyssup](https://github.com/Revolyssup))
+
+This change makes `case` a non-required field and an absence of `case` will be deemed a default match.
+
+The [official website](https://apisix.apache.org/) and [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues) of Apache APISIX provide a wealth of documentation of tutorials and real-world use cases. If you encounter any issues, you can refer to the documentation, search for keywords in Issues, or participate in discussions on Issues to share your ideas and practical experiences.

+## 近期亮点功能/改进
+
+1. [支持 `limit-count` 插件使用 plugin metadata 配置速率限制响应头](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/11831) (贡献者：[shreemaan-abhishek](https://github.com/shreemaan-abhishek))
+
+此 PR 允许用户使用插件元数据来配置速率限制响应头的名称。
+
+2. [支持将 `system` 设置为值以使用系统定义的 CA 证书](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/11809) (贡献者：[Revolyssup](https://github.com/Revolyssup))
+
+通过此功能，用户可以在配置 `ssl_trusted_certificate` 时将 `system` 设置为值，以使用系统定义的 CA 证书。
+
+3. [新增插件 `workflow.lua` 修改逻辑](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/11832) (贡献者：[Revolyssup](https://github.com/Revolyssup))
+
+在向 `workflow` 插件中添加新插件时，要求必须更改在 `workflow.lua` 中定义的 `supported_actions` 表。此更改通过实现 `workflow_handler()` 函数，将表中的注册工作转移到新添加的插件。
+
+4. [插件 `workflow` 中的 `case` 设为非必填字段](https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/11787) (贡献者：[Revolyssup](https://github.com/Revolyssup))
+
+此更改将 `case` 设置为非必填字段，缺少 `case` 将被视为默认匹配。
+
+Apache APISIX 的项目[官网](https://apisix.apache.org/zh/)和 Github 上的 [Issues](https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues) 上已经积累了比较丰富的文档教程和使用经验，如果您遇到问题可以翻阅文档，用关键词在 Issues 中搜索，也可以参与 Issues 上的讨论，提出自己的想法和实践经验。
