+This release adds more functionality to the hidden_fields option and support for waiting on ClusterOperators to reach a ready state.

+
+- k8s - Extend hidden_fields to allow the expression of more complex field types to be hidden (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/872)
+- k8s_info - Extend hidden_fields to allow the expression of more complex field types to be hidden (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/872)
