 # CHANGELOG
 
-## YYYY-MM-DD - Tiny Cloud vX.Y.Z
+## 2025-12-DD - Tiny Cloud v3.2.3
 
-* Correctly identify empty `user-data` content instead of flagging it as "unknown".
+#### GOOGLE CLOUD BEHAVIOR CHANGE
+* ***NOTE***: Google Cloud SSH keys are installed for per specified logins,
+  instead of dumping them all into `$CLOUD_USER`'s `.ssh/authorized_keys`.
+  This matches `cloud-init`'s behavior and Google's intentions.  Resolves
+  [#73](https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/cloud/tiny-cloud/-/issues/73).
+
+#### OTHER CHANGES
+* Correctly identify empty `user-data` content instead of flagging it as
+  "unknown".
 
 ## 2025-06-11 - Tiny Cloud v3.2.2
