 # Release History
 
+## 1.5.2 (2021-09-01)
+
+- Fixed a bug introduced on 1.5.0 that caused the `ManagedIdentityCredential` to fail authenticating in Arc environments. Since our new core disables unsafe requests by default, we had to change the security settings for the first request of the Arc MSI, which retrieves the file path where the authentication value is stored since this request generally happens through an HTTP endpoint.
+
+## 1.5.1 (2021-08-12)
+
+- Fixed how we verify the IMDS endpoint is available. Now, besides skipping the `Metadata` header, we skip the URL query. Both will ensure that all the known IMDS endpoints return as early as possible.
+- Added support for the `AZURE_POD_IDENTITY_AUTHORITY_HOST` environment variable. If present, the IMDS endpoint initial verification will be skipped.
+
+## 1.5.0 (2021-07-19)
+
+- With this release, we've migrated from using `@azure/core-http` to `@azure/core-rest-pipeline` for the handling of HTTP requests. See [Azure Core v1 vs v2](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/blob/main/sdk/core/core-rest-pipeline/documentation/core2.md) for more on the difference and benefits of the move. This removes our dependency on `node-fetch` and along with it issues we have seen in using this dependency in specific environments like Kubernetes pods.
+
+## 1.4.0 (2021-07-09)
+
+- With this release, we drop support for Node.js versions that have reached the end of life, like Node.js 8. Read our [support policy](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/blob/main/SUPPORT.md) for more details.
+- Updated the default timeout of the first request of the IMDS MSI from half a second to three seconds to compensate for the slowness caused by `node-fetch` for initial requests in specific environments, like Kubernetes pods.
+- Upgraded `@azure/core-http` to version `^2.0.0`, and `@azure/core-tracing` to version `1.0.0-preview.12`.
