+## [Omni 0.46.0-beta.0](https://github.com/siderolabs/omni/releases/tag/v0.46.0-beta.0) (2025-01-17)
+
+Welcome to the v0.46.0-beta.0 release of Omni!  
+*This is a pre-release of Omni*
+
+
+
+Please try out the release binaries and report any issues at
+https://github.com/siderolabs/omni/issues.
+
+### Bare Metal Infra Provider Support
+
+Omni now supports [bare metal infra provider](https://github.com/siderolabs/omni-infra-provider-bare-metal/).
+
+This provider operates as a standalone service that can be deployed within a bare-metal datacenter network.
+It manages machines via IPMI, supports PXE-based booting, and enables machine resets without relying on the Talos API.
+
+Its functionality closely resembles that of Sidero Metal.
+
+For detailed setup instructions, refer to the [documentation](https://omni.siderolabs.com/tutorials/setting-up-the-bare-metal-infrastructure-provider)..
+
+
+### Machine Categories
+
+The Machines page now categorizes machines based on how they were added to the account:
+
+- Manual: Machines manually added by installing Talos with siderolink parameters.
+- Provisioned: Machines created by infrastructure providers (e.g., KubeVirt).
+- PXE-Booted: Machines discovered and accepted from the bare-metal infrastructure provider.
+- Pending: Machines discovered but not yet accepted from the bare-metal infrastructure provider.
