 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-07-13 — [#1036](https://github.com/cobaltcore-dev/cortex/pull/1036)
+
+### cortex v0.3.0 (sha-ee9cd485)
+
+Breaking changes:
+- `NumberOfObjects` field in `DatasourceStatus` changed from `int64` to `*int64` so `omitempty` no longer strips zero values ([#1024](https://github.com/cobaltcore-dev/cortex/pull/1024))
+
+Non-breaking changes:
+- Migrate CR and failover calls to options-based pipeline selection — eliminates dedicated CR and failover pipelines by encoding behavioral differences as call-time scheduling options ([#950](https://github.com/cobaltcore-dev/cortex/pull/950))
+- Convert capacity controller from timer-based to controller-runtime reconciler with reactive watches and coalesced reconcile keys ([#1025](https://github.com/cobaltcore-dev/cortex/pull/1025))
+- Split quota enforcement `accept_skipped` decision into sub-buckets for granular observability ([#1022](https://github.com/cobaltcore-dev/cortex/pull/1022))
+- Fix alert wording: 'LackingBehind' → 'LaggingBehind' ([#1031](https://github.com/cobaltcore-dev/cortex/pull/1031))
+- Increase datasource lagging behind alert time frame to 30 min ([#1035](https://github.com/cobaltcore-dev/cortex/pull/1035))
