+# Release v0.50.2
+
+## Notes
+
+Thank you to all that contributed with flushing out issues and enhancements for K9s!
+I'll try to mark some of these issues as fixed. But if you don't mind grab the latest rev
+and see if we're happier with some of the fixes!
+If you've filed an issue please help me verify and close.
+
+Your support, kindness and awesome suggestions to make K9s better are, as ever, very much noted and appreciated!
+Also big thanks to all that have allocated their own time to help others on both slack and on this repo!!
+
+As you may know, K9s is not pimped out by corps with deep pockets, thus if you feel K9s is helping your Kubernetes journey,
+please consider joining our [sponsorship program](https://github.com/sponsors/derailed) and/or make some noise on social! [@kitesurfer](https://twitter.com/kitesurfer)
+
+On Slack? Please join us [K9slackers](https://join.slack.com/t/k9sers/shared_invite/enQtOTA5MDEyNzI5MTU0LWQ1ZGI3MzliYzZhZWEyNzYxYzA3NjE0YTk1YmFmNzViZjIyNzhkZGI0MmJjYzhlNjdlMGJhYzE2ZGU1NjkyNTM)

+## 5-0, 5-0 HotFix!
+
+It looks like we've broken a few (more) things in the clean up process 😳
+This is what you get for trying to refresh a ~10 year old code base 🙀
+Apologizes for the `disruption in the farce`. Hopefully much happier on v0.50.2...
+Are we there yet? Crossing fingers AND toes...
+
+☠️ Careful on this upgrade! 🏴‍☠️
+We've gone thru lots of code revamp/refactor in the v0.50.0, so mileage may vary...
+
+---
+
+## Resolved Issues
+
+* [#3267](https://github.com/derailed/k9s/issues/3267) Show some output or message when no resources are found
+* [#3266](https://github.com/derailed/k9s/issues/3266) Command alias :dp fails with "no resource meta defined for deployments" error
+* [#3264](https://github.com/derailed/k9s/issues/3264) can't execute get(y) or describe(d) in StorageClass view
+* [#3260](https://github.com/derailed/k9s/issues/3260) yaml view of pod will crash the app (Boom!! cannot deep copy int. (Maybe??)
