+
+#### Bug or Regression

+- Fix broken cainjector image value in Helm chart ([#6693](https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/pull/6693), [@SgtCoDFish](https://github.com/SgtCoDFish))
+- Fix bug in cmctl namespace detection which prevented it being used as a startupapicheck image in namespaces other than cert-manager. ([#6706](https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/pull/6706), [@inteon](https://github.com/inteon))
+- Fix bug in cmctl which caused `cmctl experimental install` to panic. ([#6706](https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/pull/6706), [@inteon](https://github.com/inteon))

 ## `v1.14.0`
 
-cert-manager 1.14 brings a variety of features, security improvements and bug fixes, including:
-support for creating X.509 certificates with "Other Name" fields, and
-support for creating CA certificates with "Name Constraints" and "Authority Information Accessors" extensions.
+> ⚠️ This version has known issues. Please install `v1.14.1` instead.
+>
+> During the release of `v1.14.0`, the Helm chart was found to use the wrong OCI image for the `cainjector` Deployment,
+> which caused the Helm installation and the static manifest based installation to fail.
+> Upon discovery of this bug, the release of `v1.14.0` was paused before the Helm chart or GitHub release were published;
+> but the Git tag and the OCI images had already been published.
+>
+> The cert-manager team next fixed the Helm chart and two other bugs which are listed in the "Known Issues" section below,
+> and then released `v1.14.1`, which is the version that users are strongly advised to install when they upgrade to 1.14.
+>
+> In order to complete the stalled `v1.14.0` release,
+> the Helm chart and static YAML installation files were regenerated on a team member's laptop,
+> using exactly the same build scripts as are used in the automated release process,
+> and using the `v1.14.1` version of the code.
+> The working  `v1.14.0` Helm chart was published,
+> and the working versions of the static manifest files attached to the draft `v1.14.0` GitHub release,
+> and that was then published.
+>
+> For these reasons, users are strongly advised to skip this version and install the `v1.14.1` Helm chart instead.
+
+### Known Issues
+- During the release of `v1.14.0`, the Helm chart for this version was found to use the wrong OCI image for the `cainjector` Deployment,
+  which caused the Helm installation to fail.
+  In order to complete the release, the cert-manager team have manually updated the Helm chart for this version,
+  which contains all the Helm chart fixes which are in `v1.14.1`.
+  But users are strongly advised to skip this version and install the `v1.14.1` Helm chart instead.
+- A bug in cmctl namespace detection prevents it being used as a `startupapicheck` image in namespaces other than cert-manager.
+- A bug in cmctl causes `cmctl experimental install` to panic.
