Could you please share the key changes users should be aware of before upgrading to Kubeflow 26.03 and 26.03.1? I’d like to include them in the blog under the respective sections. I’ve reviewed the individual component release changelogs, but the list is quite large, and I’m not sure which items are most important to highlight. for example pipelines changelog https://github.com/kubeflow/pipelines/releases/tag/2.16.0

What are some of the New Features and Breaking Changes that are getting released with 26.03 and 26.03.1?
Are there notables changes user should be aware of before upgrading to new verison?

@thesuperzapper I’ve split this into two sections. I noticed that the Dashboard and Notebooks components have been moved to a new repository in 26.03.1. They were part of a https://github.com/kubeflow/kubeflow previously?

What are some of the things I can add to this section ?

@dhanishaphadate @tarekabouzeid I cleaned it a bit up. May you add the individual component changes from the presentation? We could also make it a bit more audience focused, e.g. data scientists vs platform administrators, but i really want to get this finally published without more delay.
