 ## [Unreleased]
 
+
+<a name="v2.35.0"></a>
+## [v2.35.0] - 2026-08-10
+### Features
+
+- validate Codebase deletion against deployment usage and return structured errors
+- label Codebases with a normalized gitUrlPath hash
+- Reconcile EventListener labelSelector for declarative trigger registration
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Verify TLS certificates in integration secret connection checks
+- Verify SSH host keys for all git, GitServer and Gerrit connections
+- Make create-strategy provisioning idempotent and refuse destructive pushes
+- Check the fetched ref namespace and force-fetch in remote checkout
+- Remove stray init master branch before pushing operator-authored repositories
+- Replace clone-based CodebaseBranch git operations with packless transport
+- align scaffolded helm chart README with helm-docs
+
+### Code Refactoring
+
+- Remove dead git methods and vestigial CodebaseBranch workdir cleanup
+
 ### Routine
 
 - Update current development version
 
+### BREAKING CHANGE:
+
+
+integrations with untrusted certificates report connected=false until their CA is
+mounted through caCerts.
+
+GitServers authenticating over SSH to a host outside the seeded providers must have their host
+keys added to knownHosts.entries before upgrading. GitServers using token authentication are unaffected.
