+* Changed: wire-server updated to version 5.23.0 for prod, wiab-staging and wiab-dev/demo

+
+### Data stores (PostgreSQL, Cassandra)
+
+* Added: enable support for PostgreSQL deployment via Ansible (#797)
+* Added: PostgreSQL high availability cluster with repmgr (#807)
+* Changed: PostgreSQL password management is now centralized in Kubernetes Secrets (repmgr and wire-server credentials), eliminating hardcoded passwords from inventory (#819)

+
+### Features / configuration
+* Added: config for MLS deployment into example files (#824)

+  * Removed: `patch-chart-images.sh` as it is not required anymore
+  * Fixed: default|demo|min-build definitions to have more precise values and chart definitions (#825)
+* Changed: Standardized all scripts to use `yq-go` (v4+) for YAML processing, replacing deprecated `python-yq`. Updated syntax in offline deployment scripts (`cd.sh`, `cd-with-retry.sh`), build scripts (`build_adminhost_containers.sh`), demo deployment (`offline_deploy_k8s.sh`), secret sync utilities, and chart image extraction to ensure reliable YAML manipulation and fix CI build errors (#820)
+
+## deploy-builds
+
+### WIAB demo / staging (high‑level)
+
+* Fixed: coturn and PostgreSQL secrets for demo-wiab
+  * Added: `kube-prometheus-stack` values and enabled monitoring support from wire-server for demo-wiab
+  * Added: values for wire-utility in demo-wiab (#826)
+* Added: enable `cd-demo.sh` to verify demo-wiab builds (#826)
+* Changed: add Ansible playbook for wiab-staging VM provisioning
+  * Added: Terraform resources for wiab-staging
+  * Added: `cd_staging` script to verify the default build bundle
+  * Changed: restructured `offline.yml` flow – introduced wiab-staging build and split bundle processing with default-build (#861)
+
+### Offline / CI / deployment pipeline
+
+* Added: `bin/helm-operations.sh` to replace `offline-helm` and more closely follow production instructions
+  * Changed: `bin/offline-secrets.sh` to support `helm-operations.sh` and add support for coturn secret (#858)
+* Changed: Optimize Wire offline deployment pipeline with parallel job execution and S3 direct downloads
+  * Added: retry logic with progressive server type fallbacks for Hetzner Cloud resource availability issues (#815)
+* Changed: offline workflow to require explicit labels for PR builds (`build-default`, `build-demo`, `build-min`, `build-all`); PRs without labels no longer trigger builds (#836)
+* Changed: remove hardcoded PostgreSQL passwords from `demo-secrets.example.yaml` and automatically inject passwords from `databases-ephemeral` chart during deployment (#817)
+
+## docs
+
+* Added: documentation on how to set up DKIM for SMTP in wire-server (#793)
+* Added: enable cert-manager Helm chart deployment with example values files (#805)

+* Fixed: changelog-verify.yml workflow to allow Zebot pushes to master (#806)
+* Changed: offline-vm-setup.sh script now uses an Ubuntu cloud image and local seed ISO (#861)
