v6.8.0

Released: February 6, 2025

6.8.0 (2025-02-06)​

🚨 Upgrade Notices​

  • SmoothGlue packages are now built with Zarf v0.46.0, which is the minimum version supported. Please zarf init pre-existing clusters with the v0.46.0 init package before upgrading SmoothGlue.

  • The new Zarf version provides better package readiness checking. As a byproduct, the logic in the package has less control over when and what is evaluated. The default readiness timeout set by Zarf is too low for deploying a fresh cluster. It is recommended to add the following to the ZARF_CONFIG file:

    package:
      deploy:
        timeout: 30m0s

  • Due to the better readiness checks from Zarf, clusters that do not wish to use the automated SSO feature need to disable it from the config. Run clusters have it disabled by default, but for build clusters it is recommended to include the following to the ZARF_CONFIG file to opt out of the automated SSO feature:

    package:
      deploy:
        set:
          KEYCLOAK_CONFIG_ENABLED: false

  • This release will cause a node refresh to occur.
