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
