  Changes compared to v34.4.0

  Components

  • cluster-aws from v7.7.2 to v7.7.3

  cluster-aws v7.7.2…v7.7.3

  Added

  • Add global.connectivity.certManager.createIamRole toggle (default true) to let customers opt out of provisioning the cert-manager IAM role via crossplane and bring their own role.
• Jul 14, 2026 Security dex-app v2.2.3

  Changed

  • CI: push the release image to gsoci only and mirror to Aliyun out-of-band via sync-china-registry, so a slow cross-Pacific Aliyun push can no longer time out and block the chart catalog publish.

  Fixed

  • Update dex to v2.43.2. Fixes forced re-login after ~8h for GitHub App-backed connectors (GitHub App user-to-server tokens expire after 8 hours); the connector now persists GitHub’s refresh token and renews the upstream user access token on refresh. Cherry-pick of upstream dexidp/dex#4845.
