 OpenEBS is delighted to introduce the following new features:
 
+### What’s New - Local Storage
+
+- **Specify Additional Labels**
+
+Enables specifying additional labels to be applied to all Helm chart resources.
+
 ### What’s New - Replicated Storage
 
+- **Pre-publish Hook in CSI Driver**
+
+Introduces a pre-publish hook to clean up stale entries before publishing a volume.
+
+- **Use `tokio_stream::UnixListenerStream` in CSI Driver**
+
+Switches to `tokio_stream::UnixListenerStream` for improved async handling.

 - **Snapshot across Multiple Replicas**
 
 Replicated PV Mayastor has enhanced its snapshot capabilities to ensure file-system consistency across multiple replicas before taking snapshots. This ensures that snapshots are consistent and reliable across multiple replicas.

 ### Fixed Issues - Local Storage
 
+- **Environment Variable**
+
+Ensures that the environment variable to disable event analytics reporting is properly honored. ([#211](https://github.com/openebs/dynamic-localpv-provisioner/pull/211))
+
+- **Prevent Race Condition**
+
+Adds `priorityClassName` to pods to prevent race conditions caused by pod eviction. ([#182](https://github.com/openebs/dynamic-localpv-provisioner/pull/182))
+
 - **Metrics Collection Loop**
 
 Adds an anonymous metrics collection loop which periodically pushes OpenEBS usage metrics. ([#188](https://github.com/openebs/dynamic-localpv-provisioner/pull/188),[#318](https://github.com/openebs/lvm-localpv/pull/318), and[#548](https://github.com/openebs/zfs-localpv/pull/548))
 
 ### Fixed Issues - Replicated Storage
 
+- **Make Readiness Check Atomic in REST API**
+
+Ensures the readiness check API performs atomic operations to prevent multiple concurrent probes of the agent-core service.
+
+- **Prevent volume Unpublish from Non-frontend Nodes**
+
+Restricts volume unpublish operations to only frontend nodes to ensure proper handling.
+
+- **Increase Maximum Connection Attempts to IO-Engine**
+
+Raises the maximum number of allowed connection attempts to improve reliability.
+
+- **Fix Topology Key Overwriting Affinity Labels**
+
+Resolves issue where `hasTopologyKey` was overwriting `affinityTopologyLabels`.
