+==== Bug fixes
+
+* Previously, the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) for a cluster installed on {gcp-first} was degraded. {gcp-short} clusters that were not in manual mode incorrectly required `backupdr` permissions. However, in accounts where the `backupdr` API was not enabled, the clusters correctly determined that they did not have those permissions. Manual mode {gcp-short} clusters were not affected. With this release, the `skipServiceCheck` parameter is set to `true` on the `CredentialsRequest` custom resource (CR), so this issue no longer occurs. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-43856[*OCPBUGS-43856*])
+
+* Previously, updating to {product-title} 4.14 triggered service disruptions in applications that set duplicate `Transfer-Encoding` headers. This resulted in rejected responses, including a gateway error, which affected customer service. With this release, cluster administrators can use a procedure to detect applications that send duplicate `Transfer-Encoding` headers before updating to {product-title} 4.13. Any issues can be corrected before causing service disruption. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-43095[*OCPBUGS-43095*])
