What’s in this release
- Updated build components: Linux 6.18.18 and runc 1.3.5; Talos is built with Go 1.25.8.
- Major OpenNebula driver enhancements: USERDATA legacy fallback, ONEGATE proxy route, deterministic interface iteration, ETH*_IP6_METHOD and IPv6 alias support, per-interface routes and metrics, merged global/per-interface DNS handling, and network alias support.
- Fixes and stability work including acceptance of image cache volume encryption config, a panic fix in hardware.SystemInfoController, prevention of stale discovered-volume reads, dmesg timestamp fixes, and several dependency bumps (notably go-cmd v0.2.0 and updates to go-kmsg and pkgs).
Upgrade notes
- Config decoding now validates missing apiVersion: ensure your configuration documents include an apiVersion field to avoid validation errors.
- If you need to roll back, the previous release is v1.12.5: https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/tag/v1.12.5.
If you try v1.12.6, please share your experience — open an issue on the GitHub tracker and include your platform and steps to reproduce so maintainers can act on reports.
