+# v1.26.0 Release 2025-10-16
+## Update Notice
+In this Release we activated three feature flags:
+* [FF_KANIKO_SQUASH_STAGES](https://github.com/osscontainertools/kaniko#flag-ff_kaniko_squash_stages)
+* [FF_KANIKO_RUN_MOUNT_CACHE](https://github.com/osscontainertools/kaniko#flag-ff_kaniko_run_mount_cache)
+* [FF_KANIKO_NEW_CACHE_LAYOUT](https://github.com/osscontainertools/kaniko#flag-ff_kaniko_new_cache_layout)
+
+You can roll-back those changes by overriding them in the environment ie.
+```yaml
+job:
+  variables:
+    FF_KANIKO_SQUASH_STAGES: "0"
+    FF_KANIKO_RUN_MOUNT_CACHE: "0"
+    FF_KANIKO_NEW_CACHE_LAYOUT: "0"
