+## [v1.40.0]
+> Release date: 2024/09/10
+
+### Added
+- Added a new `file kong2tf` command to convert a deck file to Terraform configuration [#1391](https://github.com/Kong/deck/pull/1391), along with two command line flags:
+  - `--generate-imports-for-control-plane-id`: If this is provided, import blocks will be added to Terraform to adopt existing resources.
+  - `--ignore-credential-changes`: If this is provided, any credentials will be ignored until they are destroyed and recreated.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Fixed the issue that was preventing a consumer to be in more than one consumer-groups [#1394](https://github.com/Kong/deck/pull/1394)
+[go-database-reconciler #140](https://github.com/Kong/go-database-reconciler/pull/140)
+- Fields marked as auto in schema are filled with nil in the config sent to the Control Plane. In case a field is marked as auto and is a required field, deck would throw an error if the user doesn't fill it in the declarative configuration file.
+[#1394](https://github.com/Kong/deck/pull/1394) [go-database-reconciler #139](https://github.com/Kong/go-database-reconciler/pull/139)
+- Defaults are no longer filled by deck. They will only be used for computing a diff, but not sent to the Control Plane.
