 - cert-manager upgraded from v1.9.1 to v1.10.0.
 - Machine `providerID` is now being strictly checked for equality when compared against Kubernetes node `providerID` data. This is the expected criteria for correlating a Cluster API machine to its corresponding Kubernetes node, but historically this comparison was not strict, and instead compared only against the `ID` substring part of the full `providerID` string. Because different providers construct `providerID` strings differently, the `ID` substring is not uniformly defined and implemented across providers, and thus the existing `providerID` equality can not guarantee the correct Machine-Node correlation. It is very unlikely that this new behavior will break existing providers, but FYI: if strict `providerID` equality will degrade expected behaviors, you may need to update your provider implementation prior to adopting Cluster API v1.3.
 - The default minimum TLS version in use by the webhook servers is 1.2.
+- OwnerReferences are now more strictly enforced for objects managed by Cluster API. Machines, Bootstrap configs, Infrastructure Machines and Secrets created by CAPI components [now have strictly enforced controller owner references](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api/issues/7575). This is not expected to require changes for providers.
 
 ### Suggested changes for providers
 - Provider can expose the configuration of the TLS Options for the webhook server; it is recommended to use utility functions under the `util/flags` package to ensure consistency across CAPI and other providers.
