+# Changelog
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Changed
+
+- Upgraded to the base image java-base:11-stackable0.3.0. The java-base image
+  contains a layer which provides Vector. The creation of the stackable user
+  and group happens in the stackable-base layer and is therefore removed from
+  this image ([#297]).
