January 2026: Focused feature delivery for Workload Variant Autoscaler (WVA) with v0.5 upgrade and standalone installation mode for llm-d/llm-d, along with migration guidance and updated deployment/docs to reflect changes. The work enables customers to deploy WVA independently of the full llm-d stack and provides a clear upgrade path from v0.4.1, reducing friction and enabling modular adoption.

December 2025: Focused documentation work for the llm-d/llm-d project, delivering a version-aligned update for the Workload Variant Autoscaler (WVA) to v0.4.1. The work improves operator reliability and onboarding by clarifying versioning, removing deprecated image tag overrides, and updating the Prometheus base URL for kind environments, with Helm chart versioning adjustments. The change is tracked in commit 3de716122a311d61365301e3a01a0e39412bcb0a, enabling reproducibility and auditability.
