+v5.4.2
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This release includes bugfixes such as replacing the passing of ``warnings`` to ``exit_json`` with ``AnsibleModule.warn`` as well as a security update for selectively redacting sensitive information from kubeconfig.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- helm - add ``release_values`` key to ``status`` return value that can be accessed using Jinja2 dot notation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1056).
+- helm_info - add ``release_values`` key to ``status`` return value that can be accessed using Jinja2 dot notation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1056).
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+- helm - the ``status.values`` return value has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2027-01-08. Use ``status.release_values`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1056).
+- helm_info - the ``status.values`` return value has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2027-01-08. Use ``status.release_values`` instead (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1056).
+
+Security Fixes
+--------------
+
+- Selectively redact sensitive info from kubeconfig instead of applying blanket ``no_log=True`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1014).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Add idempotency for ``helm_pull`` module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1055).
+- Fixed a bug where setting ``K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL=true`` (or any string value) caused the value to be treated as a separate ``kubectl`` command argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1049).
+- Limit supported versions of Helm to <4.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1039).
+- Replace passing ``warnings`` to ``exit_json`` with ``AnsibleModule.warn`` in the ``k8s_drain``, ``k8s_rollback.py`` and ``k8s_scale.py`` modules as it deprecated in ``ansible-core>=2.19.0`` and will be removed in ``ansible-core>=2.23.0`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1033).
+- k8s - Fix return block from the module documentation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1056).
+- meta - Add ``k8s_cluster_info``, ``k8s_json_patch`` and ``k8s_rollback`` to k8s action group (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/992).
+
+v5.4.1
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This release includes bugfixes for k8s service field handling, k8s_cp init containers support, and removes deprecated ansible.module_utils.six imports.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- Remove ``ansible.module_utils.six`` imports to avoid warnings (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/998).
+- Update the `k8s_cp` module to also work for init containers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/971).
+- module_utils/k8s/service - hide fields first before creating diffs (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/915).
+
+v5.4.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This release updates the ``helm_registry_auth`` module to match the behavior of ``helm >= 3.18.0`` which reports a successful logout regardless of the current state (i.e., no idempotency).
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Module ``helm_registry_auth`` does not support idempotency with ``helm >= 3.18.0`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/946)
+
+v5.3.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This release includes minor changes, bug fixes and also bumps ``ansible-lint`` version to ``25.1.2``.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- Bump version of ``ansible-lint`` to 25.1.2 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/919).
+- action/k8s_info - update templating mechanism with changes from ``ansible-core 2.19`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/888).
+- helm - add ``reset_then_reuse_values`` support to helm module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/803).
+- helm - add support for ``insecure_skip_tls_verify`` option to helm and helm_repository(https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/694).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- module_utils/k8s/service - fix issue when trying to delete resource using ``delete_options`` and ``check_mode=true`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/892).
+
+v5.2.0
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This release adds more functionality to the hidden_fields option and support for waiting on ClusterOperators to reach a ready state.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- 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)
+- waiter.py - add ClusterOperator support. The module can now check OpenShift cluster health by verifying ClusterOperator status requiring 'Available: True', 'Degraded: False', and 'Progressing: False' for success. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/869)
+
+v5.1.0
+======

+- k8s_drain - Improve error message for pod disruption budget when draining a node (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/797).
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- helm - Helm version checks did not support RC versions. They now accept any version tags. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/745).
+- helm_pull - Apply no_log=True to pass_credentials to silence false positive warning. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/796).
+- k8s_drain - Fix k8s_drain does not wait for single pod (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/769).
+- k8s_drain - Fix k8s_drain runs into a timeout when evicting a pod which is part of a stateful set  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/792).
+- kubeconfig option should not appear in module invocation log (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/issues/782).
