 # Release notes
 
+## v0.141.6
+
+#### Fix
+
+- Fix error that occured when calling `Component.inject()` inside loops:
+
+   ```py
+   class MyComponent(Component):
+       def get_template_data(self, args, kwargs, slots, context):
+           data = self.inject("my_provide")
+           return {"data": data}
+   ```
+
+   ```django
+   {% load component_tags %}
+   {% provide "my_provide" key="hi" data=data %}
+       {% for i in range(10) %}
+           {% component "my_component" / %}
+       {% endfor %}
+   {% endprovide %}
+   ```
+
+- Allow to call `Component.inject()` outside of the rendering:
+
+   ```py
+   comp = None
+
+   class MyComponent(Component):
+       def get_template_data(self, args, kwargs, slots, context):
+           nonlocal comp
+           comp = self
+
+   template_str = """
+       {% load component_tags %}
+       {% provide "my_provide" key="hi" data=data %}
+           {% component "my_component" / %}
+       {% endprovide %}
+   """
+   template = Template(template_str)
+   rendered = template.render(Context({}))
+
+   assert comp is not None
+
+   injected = comp.inject("my_provide")
+   assert injected.key == "hi"
+   assert injected.data == "data"
+   ```
+
+#### Refactor
+
+- Removed circular references to the Component instances. Component instances
+  are now garbage collected unless you keep a reference to them.
+
 ## v0.141.5
