-    changes:
-      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).
-      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).
-      minor_changes:
-      - helm - added ``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 - added ``release_values`` key to ``status`` return value that can
-        be accessed using Jinja2 dot notation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1056).
-      release_summary: This release includes various bugfixes such as replacing the
-        passing of ``warnings`` to ``exit_json`` with ``AnsibleModule.warn`` as well
-        as security updates for selectively redacting sensitive information from kubeconfig.
-      security_fixes:
-      - Selectively redact sensitive info from kubeconfig instead of applying blanket
-        ``no_log=True`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/pull/1014).

    - the tar binary is required on the container when copying from local filesystem to pod.
-   - the (init) container has to be started before you copy files or directories to it.
    - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when ``validate_certs`` is *True*, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ``ca_cert`` or in the kubeconfig file.
