 ## [1.13.0-bb.7]
 ### Fixed
 - to resolve an issue where Anchore would redeploy after every update, `./chart/templates/engine_secret.yaml` and `./chart/templates/enterprise_feeds_secret.yaml` were modified to set `ANCHORE_SAML_SECRET` to a randomly generated value if not set and the previous secret does not exist
-### Changed
-- set `.Values.anchoreGlobal.saml.secret` to an empty string rather than `Null` (the default) so it would evaluate to **false** when not configured
 
 ## [1.13.0-bb.6]
