Release Notes

fluxcd/flux2 (fluxcd/flux2)

v2.9.2

Compare Source

Highlights

Flux v2.9.2 is a patch release. The main fix addresses a regression introduced in
v2.9.1 where a Kustomization with openapi.path pointing to a URL failed to
reconcile with failed to read OpenAPI schema. This release also corrects several
CRD field descriptions that contained inaccurate or leaked content. Users are
encouraged to upgrade for the best experience.

ℹ️ Please follow the Upgrade Procedure for Flux v2.7+ for a smooth upgrade from Flux v2.6 to the latest version.

Fixes:

  • Fix a regression where a Kustomization with openapi.path pointing to a URL failed to reconcile with failed to read OpenAPI schema (kustomize-controller)
  • Fix the HelmChart CRD description for .status.url, which pointed users at BucketStatus.Artifact instead of HelmChartStatus.Artifact (source-controller)
  • Fix the ImageRepository CRD description for .status.observedExclusionList, which referred to spec.lastScanResult instead of status.lastScanResult (image-reflector-controller)
  • Fix the ImageUpdateAutomation CRD description for .status.observedSourceRevision, which had a stray Go struct declaration leaking into it (image-automation-controller)

Improvements:

  • Update fluxcd/pkg dependencies

v2.9.1

Compare Source

Highlights

Flux v2.9.1 is a patch release. The main fix, applied across all controllers, disables Flux variable substitution on the Flux CRDs by annotating them with kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/substitute: disabled, so that Kustomizations with post-build substitution enabled no longer corrupt the CRD schemas when they contain ${...} sequences. Users are encouraged to upgrade for the best experience.

ℹ️ Please follow the Upgrade Procedure for Flux v2.7+ for a smooth upgrade from Flux v2.6 to the latest version.

Fixes:

  • Disable Flux variable substitution on all Flux CRDs, preventing post-build substitution from corrupting CRD schemas that contain ${...} sequences (all controllers)
  • Update SOPS dependency to fix .ini file decryption (kustomize-controller)
  • Fix a dry-run error where applying a resource with a strategic merge patch could fail with <resource> is invalid (kustomize-controller)
  • Fix a breaking change in the in-memory Kustomization build (Flux CLI)

Improvements:

  • Cache the registry authorization token during Notation verification, so it is fetched once per verification instead of once per request (source-controller)
  • Update fluxcd/pkg dependencies

Kubernetes compatibility

This release is compatible with the following Kubernetes versions:

Kubernetes version Minimum required
v1.34 >= 1.34.1
v1.35 >= 1.35.0
v1.36 >= 1.36.0

The operator allows the configuration of Flux multi-tenancy lockdown, network policies, persistent storage, sharding, vertical scaling and the synchronization of the cluster state from Git repositories, OCI artifacts, and S3-compatible storage.

Upgrade procedure

⚠️ The Flux APIs image.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2 and notification.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2
have reached end-of-life and have been removed from the CRDs.
