CHANGELOG.md

@@ -1,11 +1,37 @@
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Contributors
+
+* Olli Hauer
+
+### Added
+
+- Optional folder parameter for VM placement
+- Network configuration support for VM provisioning
+- Disk resizing capability for VM provisioning
+- UUID conversion utility to handle vSphere/Talos UUID format differences
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Hostname persistence across reboots** - Convert vSphere UUIDs to Talos format to ensure config patches are correctly linked to machines
+  - **Requirements**: Talos v1.12.0+ (multi-document configuration support)
+  - **Tested with**: Talos v1.12.4 and Omni v1.5.7
+- vSphere session keepalive with active SOAP handler
+- Error handling and config validation improvements
+- Hostname setting for created VMs
+
+### Changed
+
+- Config patch creation now happens after VM UUID is set to ensure proper linking
+
