+# TiDB Operator 1.3.1 Release Notes
+
+Release date: February 24, 2022
+
+TiDB Operator version: 1.3.1
+
+## Compatibility Change
+
+- Due to the issues in [#4434](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-operator/pull/4434) and [#4435](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-operator/pull/4435), if you have deployed TiFlash v5.4.0 or later versions when using TiDB Operator v1.3.0 or v1.3.0-beta.1, you must upgrade TiDB Operator by taking the following steps to **avoid TiFlash losing metadata**.
+
+    1. In TidbCluster spec, if the `storage.rafe.dir` and `raft.kvstore_path` fields in TiFlash's config `spec.tiflash.config.config` are not explicitly configured, you need to add the `storage.raft.dir` field. If `storage.main.dir` is not explicitly configured, you need to add the field.
+    
+        ```yaml
+        spec:
+          # ...
+          tiflash:
+            config:
+              config: |
+                # ...
+                [storage]
+                  [storage.main]
+                    dir = ["/data0/db"]
+                  [storage.raft]
+                    dir = ["/data0/db/kvstore/"]
+        ```
+      
+    2. Upgrade TiDB Operator.
+
+## New Feature
+
+- Add a new field `spec.dnsPolicy` to support configuring `DNSPolicy` for Pods ([#4420](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-operator/pull/4420), [@handlerww](https://github.com/handlerww))
+
+## Improvement
+
+- `tidb-lightning` Helm chart uses `local` backend as the default backend ([#4426](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-operator/pull/4426), [@KanShiori](https://github.com/KanShiori))
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+- Fix the issue that if the `raft.kvstore_path` field or the `storage.raft.dir` field is not set in TiFlash's config, TiFlash will lose metadata after upgrading TiFlash to v5.4.0 or later versions when using TiDB Operator v1.3.0 or v1.3.0-beta.1 ([#4430](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-operator/pull/4430), [@KanShiori](https://github.com/KanShiori))
+
+- Fix the issue that TiFlash v5.4.0 or later versions does not work if the `tmp_path` field is not set in TiFlash's config when using TiDB Operator v1.3.0 or v1.3.0-beta.1 ([#4430](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-operator/pull/4430), [@KanShiori](https://github.com/KanShiori))

 ## Rolling upgrade changes
 
 - Optimize the default configuration of TiFlash (>= v5.4.0). Since v1.3.0-beta.1, TiDB Operator optimizes the default configuration for TiFlash >= v5.4.0. If you deploy a TiDB cluster >= v5.4 using TiDB Operator v1.2, after upgrading TiDB Operator to v1.3.x, the TiFlash component will be rolling updated. It is recommended to upgrade TiDB Operator to v1.3.x before upgrading the TiDB cluster to v5.4.x.

+## 兼容性改动
+
+- 由于 [#4434](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-operator/pull/4434) 和 [#4435](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-operator/pull/4435) 的问题，如果已经使用 v1.3.0 或者 v1.3.0-beta.1 版本 TiDB Operator 部署了 v5.4.0 及以后版本的 TiFlash，你需要执行以下步骤来升级 TiDB Operator，以防止 TiFlash **丢失元数据**：
+
+    1. 如果 TidbCluster 定义中**没有显式**配置 TiFlash 配置 `spec.tiflash.config.config` 中的 `storage.raft.dir` 和 `raft.kvstore_path` 字段，则显式添加 `storage.raft.dir` 字段。如果 `storage.main.dir` 没有显式配置，也需要显式添加。

+        ```
+
+        配置后，等待 TiFlash 滚动更新结束。
+        
+    2. 升级 TiDB Operator。
+
+## 新功能
+
+- 添加新的 `spec.dnsPolicy` 字段，以支持配置 Pod 的 DNSPolicy ([#4420](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-operator/pull/4420), [@handlerww](https://github.com/handlerww))
+
+## 优化提升
