What’s in this release
- Kernel and packaging bumps: Linux 6.18.34 (CONFIG_BCM2712_MIP enabled as built-in; PAGE_TABLE_CHECK_ENFORCED disabled) and USB hiddev enabled for apcupsd support; Go bumped to 1.26.4 across the build.
- Component updates and images: etcd updated to v3.6.12, Flannel to v0.28.5, and Kubernetes component images published (kube-apiserver, controller-manager, scheduler, kube-proxy at v1.36.1) along with CoreDNS, pause, kubelet, flannel, overlays, installer and Talos images for v1.13.4.
- Stability and runtime fixes: strict QoS ordering enforced for OOM victim selection and cgroups with zero rank ignored by the OOM handler; fixes for DNS server recreation, kube-scheduler config marshaling, server-side health requests, an etcd client leak in the legacy Upgrade API, plus sensitivity and reproducibility improvements.
