Flux v2.8.0 introduces major GitOps capabilities including Helm v4 support, enhanced observability, faster recovery times, and improved notification features while removing deprecated APIs.

• breakingMigrate from deprecated v1beta2/v2beta2 APIs immediately

  Deprecated APIs have been removed from CRDs. Follow the official upgrade procedure for Flux v2.7+ to migrate your resources to supported API versions before upgrading to v2.8.0.

• enhancementEnable faster application recovery with new feature gate

Argo CD v3.3.2 fixes the critical client-side apply migration issue that affected self-managed installations in v3.3.0/v3.3.1, requiring specific upgrade steps for users managing Argo CD with itself.

• breakingEnable ServerSideApply for Self-Managed Installations

  If you have an Argo CD Application managing your Argo CD installation, you must enable `ServerSideApply=true` sync option on that Application before upgrading to v3.3.2. This is required for the upgrade to succeed and prevents apply migration failures.

• breakingRemove Temporary ClientSideApplyMigration Setting

  If you previously upgraded to v3.3.0/v3.3.1 and set `ClientSideApplyMigration=false` as a workaround, remove this setting after upgrading to v3.3.2. Keeping it may cause field manager conflicts with other Kubernetes controllers.

• enhancementSafe Upgrade Path for Previously Affected Users

  Users affected by the v3.3.0/v3.3.1 client-side apply migration bug can now safely upgrade to v3.3.2. Follow the upgrade guide carefully and test the upgrade process in a non-production environment first, especially for self-managed installations.
