• {empty} will render literally if the empty attribute isn’t defined in the Antora/AsciiDoc attribute set for this site. If the goal is just spacing after the section title, prefer a plain blank line (or define the attribute in a shared attributes file that’s guaranteed to be included).

{empty}

modules/release-notes/partials/docs-server-8.0.3-fixes-and-improvements.adoc:5

• This sentence is vague in a way that doesn’t add information beyond the heading. Consider tightening it to something more specific (for example, referencing the listed items below) or removing it to reduce redundancy.

This maintenance release contains fixes for issues.

• {empty} will render literally unless an empty attribute is defined in the build (it’s not a built-in Asciidoctor attribute). If the goal is just spacing after the heading, remove this line and keep a blank line; if the goal is a reusable spacer, define :empty: in a shared attributes file included by this module.

• This item describes a new feature/setting rather than a fix, but it’s currently under the === Fixed Issues section. To avoid confusing readers, either move it to a separate Improvements (or similar) section, or reword it to clearly frame it as part of a fix (if that’s the intent for this JIRA).

link:https://jira.issues.couchbase.com/browse/MB-71586[MB-71586]::
The new `forwardLocalOnly` setting allows XDCR to replicate only local mutations.
This feature reduces data transfer by identifying mutations originating from source clusters.
