+# TiDB Operator 1.6.3 Release Notes
+
+Release date: Oct 18, 2025
+
+TiDB Operator version: 1.6.4
+
+## New features
+
+- Add a periodical sync to kernel. If the operator state is inconsistent with the kernel, operator will change the status of logBackup CR, and try to sync with kernel ( eventually make kernel reach the desired state) in the future reconcile.

+# TiDB Operator 1.6.3 Release Notes
+
+发布日期：2025 年 10 月 18 日
+
+TiDB Operator 版本：1.6.4
+
+## 新功能
+
+- 增加定期与内核同步的功能。如果 Operator 状态与内核不一致，Operator 会修改 logBackup CR 的状态，并在后续的 Reconcile 中尝试与内核同步（最终使内核达到期望状态）。 ([#6300](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb-operator/pull/6147), [@RidRisR](https://github.com/RidRisR))
