 - The command `operator-sdk olm-catalog gen-csv --csv-version=<version> --update-crds` would fail to copy over CRD manifests into `deploy/olm-catalog` for manifests whose name didn't end with a `_crd.yaml` suffix. This has been fixed so `gen-csv` now copies all CRD manifests specified by `deploy/olm-catalog/csv_config.yaml` by checking the type of the manifest rather than the filename suffix. ([#2015](https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/pull/2015))
 - Fixed an issue in `operator-sdk olm-catalog gen-csv` where the generated CSV is missing the expected set of owned CRDs. ([#2017](https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/pull/2017))
+- Fixed invalid usage of `logr.Logger.Info()` in the Ansible-based operator implementation, which caused unnecessary operator panics. ([#2031](https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/pull/2031))
