v2.0.0-rc.2

Highlights

This is the 2nd release candidate of Flux v2.0 GA. Users are advised to upgrade from v0.41 to v2.0.0-rc.2 as soon as possible.

Flux v2.0.0-rc.2 comes with fixes to issues reported for RC.1 and performance improvements. Starting with this version, source-controller, kustomize-controller and helm-controller pods are marked as system-cluster-critical. This priority class will reduce the chances of Flux controllers being evicted before other non-critical workloads and prevents the pods from being permanently unavailable.

💡 For upgrading from v0.x, please see the procedure documented in RC.1.

⚠️ Note that Kubernetes 1.27.0 contains a regression bug that affects Flux, it is recommended to upgrade Kubernetes to 1.27.1 or newer.

• Fix bootstrap for BitBucket Server (CLI).
• Fix secrets decryption when using Azure Key Vault (kustomize-controller).
• Fix drift detection for renamed HelmReleases (helm-controller).
• Improve performance when handling webhook receivers (notification-controller).
• The Alert v1beta2 API has a new optional field .spec.inclusionList for fine-grained control over events filtering (notification-controller).
