## Release Highlights

1. General availability of the automated volume resizing
2. Allowing `haproxy-replica` Service to cycle through the reader instances only
3. Fixing the overloaded `allowUnsafeConfigurations` flag

## New Features

- [K8SPXC-1330](https://jira.percona.com/browse/K8SPXC-1330): A new `haproxy.exposeReplicas.onlyReaders` Custom Resource option makes `haproxy-replicas` Service to [forward requests](https://docs.percona.com/percona-operator-for-mysql/pxc/expose.html#__tabbed_1_1) to reader instances of the MySQL cluster, avoiding the primary (writer) instance.
- [K8SPXC-1355](https://jira.percona.com/browse/K8SPXC-1355): Finalizers were renamed to contain fully qualified domain names (FQDNs), avoiding potential conflicts with other finalizer names in the same Kubernetes environment
