Changelog

Changes Since `v0.6.0`:

### Feature

- Added MultiKueue worker connection monitoring and reconnect. (#1809, @trasc)
- The Failed pods in a pod-group are finalized once a replacement pods are created. (#1801, @trasc)

### Bug or Regression

- Exclude Pod labels, preemptionPolicy and container images when determining whether pods in a pod group have the same shape. (#1760, @alculquicondor)
- Fix incorrect quota management when lendingLimit enabled in preemption (#1826, @kerthcet, @B1F030)
- Fix the configuration for the number of reconcilers for the Pod integration. It was only reconciling one group at a time. (#1837, @alculquicondor)

- Skip requeueing of Workloads when there is a status update for a ClusterQueue, saving on API calls for Workloads that were already attempted for admission. (#1832, @alculquicondor)

[alculquicondor]

1846 does not affect 0.6, right?

[tenzen-y]

PTAL at release notes.

I removed unnecessary spaces from release notes. Could you perform a command to get the release note again?

[alculquicondor]

It looks like there was only one. Updated. And #1847 as well.
