What's Changed

!NOTE!: During last community meeting we discussed that we are retiring our scarf account. With that, we will be changing back to ghcr.io/external-secrets/external-secrets instead of oci.external-secrets.io/external-secrets/external-secrets.

For now, the old domain will live for a couple months to give people to change back. With this release , the values in the helm chart that define where the image is switched back to ghcr.

The helm-chart itself is served from under github-pages so that does not move.
