+## 0.127.0
+
+### 💡 Enhancements 💡
+
+- `collector`: Move validation to be part of the CRD for sidecar mode (#3319)
+- `target allocator`: Promote the operator.collector.targetallocatorcr feature flag to Beta (#2422)
+  
+  As a result of this change, when the target allocator section is enabled in the Collector CR, 
+  this now creates a TargetAllocator CR instead of generating the manifests directly. Behavior should otherwise be
+  unchanged. You can go back to the previous behaviour by passing the 
+  `--feature-gates=-operator.collector.targetallocatorcr` command-line option to the operator.
+  
+- `collector`: Set the default spec.replicas to 1 in the OpenTelemetryCollector CRD. (#4042)
+  
+  This default no longer relies on the admission webhook.
+  
+
+### 🧰 Bug fixes 🧰
+
+- `collector, target allocator`: Fix operator RBAC for managing targetallocator finalizers on OpenShift. (#4069)
+  On OpenShift `OwnerReferencesPermissionEnforcement` is enabled by default, which requires the operator to have permissions to remove finalizers from resources it owns.
+  https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/admission-controllers/#ownerreferencespermissionenforcement
+  
+- `target allocator`: Add app.kubernetes.io/managed-by label to Target Allocator CRs created by the Collector CR (#4025)
+- `target allocator`: Fixes an issue where the same target from two different jobs was being allocated for only one job (#4044)
