+        - **Stream Circulars over Kafka in JSON format** on the topic `gcn.circulars`.  Add Circulars to your existing Kafka streaming codes or generated via the [Start Streaming GCN Notices interface](/quickstart).
+        - **GCN Heartbeat Kafka Topic** (`gcn.heartbeat`) broadcasts a test message approximately once a second.
+        - **Schema v4.1.0** includes the following updates:
+          - [Circulars schema](https://gcn.nasa.gov/docs/schema/v4.1.0/gcn/circulars.schema.json).
+          - `id` property (from the Event core schema) in [Einstein Probe Notices](https://gcn.nasa.gov/docs/schema/v4.1.0/gcn/notices/einstein_probe/wxt/alert.schema.json).
+          - [Pointing core schema](https://gcn.nasa.gov/docs/schema/v4.1.0/gcn/notices/core/Pointing.schema.json) changed from `ra` and `dec` to `ra_pointing` and `dec_pointing` to remove ambiguity with source position.
