 ## Release notes for kOps 1.30 series
 
-**&#9888; kOps 1.30 has not been released yet! &#9888;**
-
-This is a document to gather the release notes prior to the release.
+**&#9888; kOps 1.30 is in beta! &#9888;**
 
 # Significant changes
 
-## Some Feature

-Lorem ipsum....
+## Version updates
 
-## AWS
+kOps 1.30 adds support for kubernetes 1.30, and updates of most of the built-in components.
 
-* TODO
+This release also updates to the next generation AWS SDK (aws-sdk-go-v2), though we do not expect
+user-visible changes from this update.
 
-## GCP
+## Improved support for Azure
 
-* TODO
+kOps on Azure has been significantly improved in this release.
 
-## Openstack
-
-* TODO
+## Embedded asset hashes
 
+Hashes for many kubernetes assets have been embedded into the kOps binary.  When using
+a well-known asset, we no longer need to download the hash from a well-known location,
+which slightly speeds up kOps cluster creation, and also creates a stronger chain-of-trust.
 
 # Breaking changes
 
-## Other breaking changes

-* TODO
+None known.

-* TODO
+None known.
