+This version of the operator highlights the migration of the operator 
+to use the latest version of the `operator-sdk` (`1.25.0` at the time of this release).

+
+This migration enables us to use the new project structure, as well as updated packages that enables
+the team (as well as the contributors) to develop the operator more effective.
