+## 1.30.0
+
+**Release date:** 2023-04-12
+
+This release fixes a bug related to the lack of updates to the generated
+object's metadata according to the metadata specified in `spec.service.apex`.
+Furthermore, a bug where labels were wrongfully copied over from the canary
+deployment to primary deployment when no value was provided for
+`--include-label-prefix` has been fixed.
+This release also makes Flagger compatible with Flux's helm-controller drift
+detection.
+
