 - Added the CLI command `lightning delete app` to delete a lightning app on the cloud ([#15783](https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning/pull/15783))
 
 - Show a message when `BuildConfig(requirements=[...])` is passed but a `requirements.txt` file is already present in the Work ([#15799](https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning/pull/15799))

 - Show a message when `BuildConfig(dockerfile="...")` is passed but a `Dockerfile` file is already present in the Work ([#15799](https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning/pull/15799))
 
 - Added a CloudMultiProcessBackend which enables running a child App from within the Flow in the cloud ([#15800](https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning/pull/15800))
 
+- Added the property `ready` of the LightningFlow to inform when the `Open App` should be visible ([#15921](https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning/pull/15921))
