Release announcement: kubernetes core 6.6.0 and 5.5.0

We’re happy to announce that kubernetes.core v6.6.0 (stable-6) & v5.5.0 (stable-5) are here!

Major improvements in v6.6.0

• Helm enhancements: wait_for_jobs option, cleanup_on_fail for failed upgrades, improved
reuse_values handling
k8s_cp performance: streaming archives (lower memory), copy_timeout option, better
completion verification
k8s_info: metadata-only fetches for improved performance
• New job_complete waiter predicate for Job resources
• Action group updates for better module_defaults support

Bug fixes

helm_repository URL normalization with trailing slashes
k8s_cp silent truncation fix
• Helm 4.2.1+ OCI registry compatibility

Deprecations (both versions)

ENABLE_TURBO_MODE deprecated (removal in 8.0.0)
• helm status.values → use release_values instead
• helm wait_timeout → use timeout instead
