What’s in this release
- Connector controller sync setup now handles exceptions to avoid sync failures during connector operations.
- The django-dramatiq-postgres broker now closes unusable PostgreSQL connections to reduce resource errors in background processing.
- Web flows: a race condition in continuous login was fixed and authentication flows now support source stages, improving UI reliability.
Upgrade notes
- No breaking changes are noted in the 2026.5.5 release notes; review the official release notes (see the authentik docs) before upgrading.
- If you need to roll back, restore from backups or redeploy the previous release (compare version/2026.5.4…version/2026.5.5 on GitHub) and verify behaviour in a staging environment.
