 - BREAKING: Add required CLI argument and env var to set the image repository used to construct final product image names: `IMAGE_REPOSITORY` (`--image-repository`), eg. `oci.example.org/my/namespace` ([#928]).
 - Support for passing CAs to GitSync ([#903]).
-- Added support for NiFi `2.9.0` ([#922]).
+- Add support for NiFi `2.9.0` ([#922]).
 
 ### Changed
 
+- Bump stackable-operator to 0.113.3 ([#959])
 - Document Helm deployed RBAC permissions and remove unnecessary permissions ([#916]).
 - BREAKING: `configOverrides` now only accepts `bootstrap.conf`, `nifi.properties` and `security.properties`.
   Previously, arbitrary keys were silently accepted but ignored ([#921]).

 - test: Bump vector-aggregator to 0.55.0, replace /graphql call with gRPC call ([#940]).
 - BREAKING: Removed product-config machinery. This is a breaking change in terms of configuration.
   Users relying on the product-config `properties.yaml` file have to set these properties via the CRD ([#945]).
+- In case the user specifies a fixed number of NiFi nodes (i.e. no auto-scaling), set `nifi.cluster.flow.election.max.candidates` to that number.
+  This results in much faster NiFi startups, as it doesn't need to wait for the 5 minutes of `nifi.cluster.flow.election.max.wait.time` ([#953]).
 
 ### Fixed
 
 - Fix broken link to the NiFi authorization usage guide in the `spec.clusterConfig.authorization` CRD doc (`usage-guide` -> `usage_guide`) ([#924]).
 
+### Removed
+
+- BREAKING: Remove support for NiFi 1.x.
+  This removes the Prometheus reporting-task Job (and its `spec.clusterConfig.createReportingTaskJob` field), the pre-2.x non-rolling upgrade handling, the dedicated metrics port, and the sensitive-properties algorithms that were only supported on NiFi 1.x.
+  `status.deployed_version` is retained even though it no longer drives the (now removed) non-rolling upgrade state machine, as we don't want a breaking change to the status just for this ([#954]).
