-  The config `include_workspace_name_in_dataset_urn` is default to `false` for backward compatiblity, However, we recommend enabling this flag after performing the necessary cleanup.
+  The config `include_workspace_name_in_dataset_urn` is default to `false` for backward compatibility, However, we recommend enabling this flag after performing the necessary cleanup.
   If stateful ingestion is enabled, running ingestion with the latest CLI version will handle the cleanup automatically. Otherwise, we recommend soft deleting all powerbi data via the DataHub CLI:
   `datahub delete --platform powerbi --soft` and then re-ingest with the latest CLI version, ensuring the `include_workspace_name_in_dataset_urn` configuration is set to true.
 
 - #11701: The Fivetran `sources_to_database` field is deprecated in favor of setting directly within `sources_to_platform_instance.<key>.database`.
 - #11742: For PowerBi ingestion, `use_powerbi_email` is now enabled by default when extracting ownership information.
 - #12056: The DataHub Airflow plugin no longer supports Airflow 2.1 and Airflow 2.2.
 - #12056: The DataHub Airflow plugin now defaults to the v2 plugin implementation.
+- #12077: `Kafka` source no longer ingests schemas from schema registry as separate entities by default, set `ingest_schemas_as_entities` to `true` to ingest them
 - OpenAPI Update: PIT Keep Alive parameter added to scroll. NOTE: This parameter requires the `pointInTimeCreationEnabled` feature flag to be enabled and the `elasticSearch.implementation` configuration to be `elasticsearch`. This feature is not supported for OpenSearch at this time and the parameter will not be respected without both of these set.
 - OpenAPI Update 2: Previously there was an incorrectly marked parameter named `sort` on the generic list entities endpoint for v3. This parameter is deprecated and only supports a single string value while the documentation indicates it supports a list of strings. This documentation error has been fixed and the correct field, `sortCriteria`, is now documented which supports a list of strings.
