Argo CD

Declarative GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes

Argo CD's 3.5 line is in release-candidate hardening after a feature-heavy rc1 (Helm 4, supply-chain, Gateway API).

◆Current state
Argo CD shipped 3.4.0 to GA and has moved the 3.5 line into release candidates. The 3.5.0-rc1 carried a large feature set: Helm 3-to-4 migration, opt-in source-integrity verification for the hydrator, Gateway API support in the network view, mTLS in the repo-server, server-operation impersonation, and ApplicationSet UI work, while rc2 is bug-fix stabilization. The project keeps a strong supply-chain posture with cosign-signed images and SLSA Level 3 provenance.
◆Where it's heading
Argo CD is converging 3.5 toward GA, so expect further rc bug-fix rounds until it stabilizes. The 3.5 theme blends supply-chain security (source integrity, provenance, mTLS), ecosystem currency (Helm 4, Gateway API), and ApplicationSet and UI maturation. After GA, the rolling stable tag advances and the 3.4 line drops to maintenance cherry-picks.
◆Prediction
Expect one or more further 3.5.0 release candidates with bug-fix cherry-picks, then a 3.5.0 GA that moves the rolling stable tag forward.

    Rolling 'stable' tag moved to v3.4.3

    The rolling 'stable' tag was advanced to 3.4.3; a pointer update rather than a distinct release, and a crawl artifact worth flagging.
