We are pleased to announce that Portworx Operator 1.8.1 is now GA. Please see the major improvements and bug fixes below:

**Improvements**

- Added support for Operator to run on IPv6 environment.
- You can now enable CSI topology feature by setting the `.Spec.CSI.Topology.Enabled` flag to `true` in the StorageCluster CRD, the default value is `false`. The feature is only supported on FlashArray direct access volumes.

- You can now configure `ServiceType` on any service created by Operator.
