-v2.4.1
 ======
 
 Release Summary
 ---------------
 
-The kubernetes.core 2.4.1 release includes several trivial bug fixes related to code sanity.
+This major release brings several bug fixes. We have also removed support for ``ansible-core<2.15`` and deprecated functions and class from ``module_utils/common.py``.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- inventory/k8s.py - Defer removal of k8s inventory plugin to version 5.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/723).
+- k8s - The module and K8sService were changed so warnings returned by the K8S API are now displayed to the user.
+
+Removed Features (previously deprecated)
+----------------------------------------
+
+- k8s - Support for ``merge_type=json`` has been removed in version 4.0.0. Please use ``kubernetes.core.k8s_json_patch`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/722).
+- k8s_exec - the previously deprecated ``result.return_code`` return value has been removed, consider using ``result.rc`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
+- module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``K8sAnsibleMixin`` class has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
+- module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``configuration_digest()`` function has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
+- module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``get_api_client()`` function has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
+- module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``unique_string()`` function has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Resolve Collections util resource discovery fails when complex subresources present (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/676).
+- align `helmdiff_check()` function commandline rendering with the `deploy()` function (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/670).
+- avoid unsafe conditions in integration tests (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/665).
+- helm - use ``reuse-values`` when running ``helm diff`` command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/680).
+- integrations test helm_kubeconfig - set helm version to v3.10.3 to avoid incompatability with new bitnami charts (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/670).
+
+v3.1.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This release comes with some bugfixes and documentation updates. It also adds new features to the kubectl connection plugin and the kustomize lookup plugin.
+
+Minor Changes

+
+- kubectl - added support of local enviroment variable that will be used for kubectl and may be requried for establishing connections ifself (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/702)
+- kustomize - new parameter added to --enable-helm (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/568)
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- helm - expand kubeconfig path with user's home directory for consistency with k8s
+- k8s_json_patch - rename action symlink to ensure k8s action plugin is used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/652).

+      minor_changes:
+      - inventory/k8s.py - Defer removal of k8s inventory plugin to version 5.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/723).
+      - k8s - The module and K8sService were changed so warnings returned by the K8S
+        API are now displayed to the user.
+      release_summary: This major release brings several bug fixes. We have also removed
+        support for ``ansible-core<2.15`` and deprecated functions and class from
+        ``module_utils/common.py``.
+      removed_features:
+      - k8s - Support for ``merge_type=json`` has been removed in version 4.0.0. Please
+        use ``kubernetes.core.k8s_json_patch`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/722).
+      - k8s_exec - the previously deprecated ``result.return_code`` return value has
+        been removed, consider using ``result.rc`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
+      - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``K8sAnsibleMixin`` class
+        has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
+      - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``configuration_digest()``
+        function has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
+      - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``get_api_client()`` function
+        has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
+      - module_utils/common.py - the previously deprecated ``unique_string()`` function
+        has been removed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/726).
