April 2026 (2026-04): Delivered Deployment Config Cleanup and Improved Ansible Output Visibility for metal-stack/mini-lab. Removed redundant ansible.cfg, updated the Makefile and deployment configuration to streamline SSH key handling, and reduced extraneous Ansible task output. These changes improve deployment clarity, reliability, and speed, helping teams deploy faster with fewer distractions.

March 2026 — metal-stack/metal-roles: Completed a critical bug fix to the Zitadel initialization flow by correcting the image tag/name mapping in the release vector, ensuring deployments reference the correct initialization image across environments. This fix eliminates deployment identifier mismatches and reduces risk of incorrect Zitadel initialization, improving reliability of automated deployments and rollouts. No new features were released this month; the focus was stability and accuracy of deployment configurations. The change is traceable to commit 6d1272550f0e08c955cadc118da28be538c2a612.
