| - **Build Queue System**: Okteto now implements a build queue system that ensures consistent build performance and fair resource distribution. Build requests are automatically routed to the optimal Okteto Build pod based on real-time metrics (CPU pressure, memory usage, and IOPS). When all build pods are busy, builds enter a queue and wait until resources become available, preventing overload and ensuring predictable build times. This behavior is enabled by default but can be disabled by setting the `OKTETO_BUILD_QUEUE_ENABLED` feature flag to `false` via [Admin Variables](admin/dashboard.mdx#admin-variables).

| - **Helm 4 Support (Opt-in)**: Helm 4 is now available alongside Helm 3 for testing and validation. Helm 3 remains the default in this release. Helm 4 introduces server-side apply (SSA) as the default behavior, which changes how Kubernetes resources are created and tracked. Most charts will work without modifications. Test your deployments with Helm 4 before it becomes the default in Okteto 1.42. |

Test your deployments with Helm 4 before it becomes the default in Okteto 1.42.
This part feels a bit too urgent. Could we say Test your deployments with Helm 4 in Okteto. We'll make Helm 4 the default in 1.42, with the option to stay on Helm 3 if needed.

Do you think the options below this are too much info for the release notes? Not sure if we should defer this to https://www.okteto.com/docs/self-hosted/manage/upgrade/ page
