Mar 1, 2025March 2025 performance-focused sprint for k3s-io/k3s emphasizing security, stability, and release readiness. Delivered key Kubernetes upgrades, stabilized release channels, and hardened test reliability to improve RC validation. Key changes delivered: - Kubernetes core upgrade to v1.32.3-k3s1 and v1.32.3-k3s2 with go.mod/go.sum updates (security patches, upstream fixes, feature access). - Stable channel update to the latest designated k3s release to ensure users receive a supported version. - Skew tests: fix release candidate version parsing to improve test reliability and RC validation. Impact: - Upstream bug fixes and security patches reach users faster; improved stability and reliability of upgrades; enhanced confidence in RC validation and release readiness. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Go module maintenance (go.mod/go.sum), release-channel configuration, and test reliability improvements.
