+## 1.2.0
+
+**Release date:** 2023-12-11
+
+This minor release comes with performance improvements, bug fixes and several new features.
+
+The controller has been updated from Kustomize v5.0 to **v5.3**, please the see
+`kubernetes-sigs/kustomize` [changelog](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/releases)
+for a more details.
+
+Starting with this version, the controller will automatically perform a cleanup of
+the Pods belonging to stale Kubernetes Jobs after a force apply.
+
+A new controller flag `--override-manager` has been added to extend the Field Managers disallow list.
+Using this flag, cluster administrators can configure the controller to undo changes
+made with Lens and other UI tools that directly modify Kubernetes objects on clusters.
+
+In addition, the controller dependencies have been updated, including an update to Kubernetes v1.28.
+The container base image has been updated to Alpine 3.19.
