 * Before this update, when using {tekton-chains}, if you configured the `storage.oci.repository` parameter, errors were reported in the Tekton Chains controller log. With this update, the `storage.oci.repository` parameter is processed correctly.
 
 * Before this update, when {tekton-chains} was configured with the Hashicorp Vault KMS and there was an issue with the connection to Vault, the {tekton-chains} controller pod could crash. With this update, the errors are processed and logged on the {tekton-chains} controller log.

+=== Fixed issues
+
+* Before this update, a task run sometimes failed with a `cannot stop the sidecar` error message. With this update, the race condition between controllers that caused this failure is fixed.
+
+* Before this update, to enable keeping pods when a task run is cancelled, along with setting the `pipeline.options.configMaps.feature-flags.data.keep-pod-on-cancel` spec to `true` in the `TektonConfig` CR, you also need to set the `pipeline.enable-api-fields` spec to `alpha` in the `TektonConfig` CR. With this update, setting the `pipeline.options.configMaps.feature-flags.data.keep-pod-on-cancel` spec to `true` in the `TektonConfig` CR enables keeping pods when a task run is cancelled, and no additional setting is necessary.
+
+* Before this update, if you defined a sidecar for a task, {pipelines-shortname} did not validate the container image in the definition when creating the `Task` and `TaskRun` custom resources (CRs). At run time, a sidecar with an invalid container image caused the task run to fail. With this update, {pipelines-shortname} validates the container image in the sidecar definition when creating the `Task` and `TaskRun` CRs.
+
+* Before this update, the {pipelines-shortname} controller sometimes crashed when the task was evaluating parameters. With this update, the controller no longer crashes.
+
+* Before this update, if the final task in a pipeline run failed or was skipped, {pipelines-shortname} sometimes reported a validation error for the pipeline run. With this update, {pipelines-shortname} reports the status of the pipeline run correctly.
