 ### Breaking Changes
 
-#### v0.5.0 (upcoming)
+#### v0.5.1
 - **VariantAutoscaling CRD**: Added `scaleTargetRef` field as **required**. v0.4.1 VariantAutoscaling resources without `scaleTargetRef` must be updated before upgrading:
   - **Impact on Scale-to-Zero**: VAs without `scaleTargetRef` will not scale to zero properly, even with HPAScaleToZero enabled and HPA `minReplicas: 0`, because the HPA cannot reference the target deployment.
   - **Migration**: Update existing VAs to include `scaleTargetRef`:

+### Chart registry (OCI)
+
+The chart is published to GitHub Container Registry under the **llm-d** org (not llm-d-incubation). Use this OCI URL in Helm or Helmfile:
+
+- **OCI URL:** `oci://ghcr.io/llm-d/workload-variant-autoscaler`
+- **Example:** `helm pull oci://ghcr.io/llm-d/workload-variant-autoscaler --version 0.5.1`
+
 ## Installation (OpenShift)
 Helm is the recommended installation method. Before running, be sure to delete all previous helm installations for `workload-variant-autoscaler` and `prometheus-adapter`. To list all helm charts installed in the cluster run `helm ls -A`.
