In March 2026, delivered a targeted release automation fix for elastic/terraform-provider-elasticstack to ensure the Terraform Registry publishes stable versions instead of prereleases by correcting the GoReleaser release configuration. This eliminates nightlies being misclassified as prereleases and aligns published versions with Terraform's expectations. The change is associated with a focused commit (c554160f6fc7873579f827f618fea0491d4f88aa) and results in more reliable provider versions, smoother client upgrades, and reduced version-related support questions.
