+## 1.3.0
+
+**Release date:** 2024-05-06
+
+This minor release comes with new features, improvements and bug fixes.
+
+The `Receiver` API has been extended to support CDEvents,
+for more information, please see the
+[CDEvents Receiver API documentation](https://github.com/fluxcd/notification-controller/blob/release/v1.3.x/docs/spec/v1/receivers.md#cdevents).
+
+Starting with this version, the controller allows grouping alerts for Alertmanager
+by setting the `startsAt` label instead of `timestamp`. When sending alerts to
+OpsGenie, the controller now sets the `severity` field to the alert's details.
+
+In addition, the controller dependencies have been updated to Kubernetes v1.30
+and controller-runtime v0.18. Various other dependencies have also been updated to
+their latest version to patch upstream CVEs.
+
+Lastly, the controller is now built with Go 1.22.
