     of having the operator write it to the vector config ([#707]).
 - test: Bump to Vector 0.46.1 ([#721]).
 - Use versioned common structs ([#727]).
+- BREAKING: Previously this operator would hardcode the UID and GID of the Pods being created to 1000/0, this has changed now ([#732])
+  - The `runAsUser` and `runAsGroup` fields will not be set anymore by the operator
+  - The defaults from the docker images itself will now apply, which will be different from 1000/0 going forward
+  - This is marked as breaking because tools and policies might exist, which require these fields to be set
