releaseNotes:
  - |
    **Added** support for `sectionName` in Gateway API `BackendTLSPolicy` to enable port-specific TLS configuration.
    This allows targeting specific ports of a Service by name, enabling different TLS settings per port.
    For example, you can now configure TLS settings for only the `https` port of a Service while leaving other ports unaffected.
