There should be a section about the IAC changes.

Image update automation improvements

The New v1beta2 api introduces new status fields status.observedPolicies
and status.observedSourceRevision. These fields are used to store the policies
and source revision that were observed during the last successful image update
operation.

The status sub-resource of the ImageUpdateAutomation example:

status:
...
  observedPolicies:
    podinfo-policy:
      name: ghcr.io/stefanprodan/podinfo
      tag: 4.0.6
  observedSourceRevision: main@sha1:8084f1bb180ac259c6698cd027064b7dce86a72a

A new field .spec.policySelector has been added to the ImageUpdateAutomation
v1beta2 API. The policySelector field can be used to filter the policies
that are applied based on the label selector. The policySelector field is
optional and if not set, all policies of the namespace are applied.

The commit template for the ImageUpdateAutomation has been enhanced by providing
old and new values for the changes made to the files containing the markers.
