What is HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller?
Fourteen patches into 3.2, and ssl-passthrough is still where the bugs are.
The controller is deep in the 3.2 patch line, shipping roughly every two weeks with no new configuration surface since the series opened. Four of the last six releases touch ssl-passthrough: resolving its mode before rules are built, reconciling its backends, and now keeping allow and deny lists attached to the https frontend. The rest is Kubernetes-object correctness — EndpointSlice handling, ingress merge ordering, duplicated backend config snippets.

What is incident.io?
incident.io's agent now runs your team's own tools, with a human approval before any change.
Investigations, the agent that posts a root-cause hypothesis when an incident opens, is the center of incident.io; it went GA and then doubled its speed in September. In October the company pushed its agent skills out into coding harnesses, then opened Nexus to customers' own tools and know-how. The 10-28 release restates that extension model and adds an explicit step: any change the agent proposes waits for a human approval before it runs.

HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller
5.0INFRA · APIS
Fourteen patches into 3.2, and ssl-passthrough is still where the bugs are.
◆ Current state
The controller is deep in the 3.2 patch line, shipping roughly every two weeks with no new configuration surface since the series opened. Four of the last six releases touch ssl-passthrough: resolving its mode before rules are built, reconciling its backends, and now keeping allow and deny lists attached to the https frontend. The rest is Kubernetes-object correctness — EndpointSlice handling, ingress merge ordering, duplicated backend config snippets.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a stabilisation series, not a feature series. The recurring theme is that ssl-passthrough interacts badly with everything layered on top of it — access control, backend reconciliation, rule generation — and each release fixes one more intersection. Test coverage is now landing alongside the fixes rather than after them, which suggests the maintainers are treating the passthrough path as a known weak spot rather than a series of unrelated bugs.
◆ Prediction
Expect 3.2.x to continue at a two-week cadence with further ssl-passthrough intersections, and expect any new capability to wait for a 3.3 line rather than arrive in a patch.

7.5INFRA · APIS
incident.io's agent now runs your team's own tools, with a human approval before any change.
◆ Current state
Investigations, the agent that posts a root-cause hypothesis when an incident opens, is the center of incident.io; it went GA and then doubled its speed in September. In October the company pushed its agent skills out into coding harnesses, then opened Nexus to customers' own tools and know-how. The 10-28 release restates that extension model and adds an explicit step: any change the agent proposes waits for a human approval before it runs.
◆ Where it's heading
incident.io is turning its agent into a two-way integration point that can act, not just diagnose. Skills go out to developers' agents, internal tools and team context come in, and the approval gate is what makes write access acceptable during an incident. Dashboards, ticket sync and alert routing keep incident.io as the record the agent reads from and writes to.
◆ Prediction
Expect worked examples for common connected systems such as deploy or feature-flag tools, and Investigations that propose concrete remediation steps for approval. The entries do not say how extensions are built or priced.
