[NickLarsenNZ]

Caution

Blocked until the release planning meeting on 2026-05-19

Part of stackabletech/issues#847.

Tooling updates

Tip

• Rust version bump
• Cargo dependency bumps
• Cutting a release and using that in docker-images.

• containerdebug
• config-utils

Items which don't have a tracking issue

• protoc updated in UBI Builder Dockerfiles (The earlier the better)
• jmx_exporter (validate via hdfs-operator smoke tests)
• krb5
• tools (update the versions in version.py)
• testing-tools (update the base, maybe keycloak)
• statsd_exporter
• csi-provisioner for secret-operator
• csi-provisioner for listener-operator

Note

Update the product versions based on what has been decided upon in the Product Spreadsheet¹.
Follow these rules when creating the tracking issues for individual images:

• Major/minor changes:
  • Removal and deprecation of entire major or minor version branches
  • Adding a new major/minor version (optionally marking it as LTS)
• Patch-level changes:
  • Removal and deprecation if individual patch-level versions
  • Marking a (new) patch-level version as LTS
  • Adding a new patch-level version

Important

Replace the items in the task lists below with the subsequent tracking issue.
Remove this and the above admonitions afterwards to de-clutter the tracking issue.
