• 14 bugs fixed 🐛

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• Remove v1alpha3 and v1alpha4 apiVersions (#2414)
  • Similar to when we removed the apiVersions in core CAPI we fixed the reconciliation of apiVersions in ownerRefs in v1.8.2.
    Removal of a deprecated APIVersion in Kubernetes [can cause issues with garbage collection by the kube-controller-manager] (kubernetes/kubernetes#102641) This means that some objects which rely on garbage collection for cleanup, may not be cleaned up properly if those objects were created with an APIVersion which is no longer served. To avoid these issues it’s advised to ensure a restart to the kube-controller-manager is done after upgrading to CAPV v1.9. This can be accomplished with any Kubernetes control-plane rollout, including a Kubernetes version upgrade, or by manually stopping and restarting the kube-controller-manager.
