+=== Logstash 7.11.2 Release Notes
+
+==== Notable issues fixed
+
+We resolved an issue that could cause problems with automatic reloading. We
+replaced the `not terminated` state with two states that are more descriptive:
+`running` and `loading`. This fix prevents pipelines that are loading from being
+described as `running`. https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/12444[#12444]
