The public feed carries tags and image manifests; the release notes live in Prime docs.

◆Current state
Rancher's public release feed is a tag stream rather than a changelog. The two maintenance releases here — 2.12.12 and 2.11.16, tagged seconds apart — each carry a single line pointing readers to the Prime documentation for the actual notes. The 2.15 line appears only as build metadata: an rc5 image and component manifest, then an alpha tag whose entire content is switching the dashboard to its release build.
◆Where it's heading
Three branches are live at once, with maintenance flowing to 2.11 and 2.12 while 2.15 works through release candidates. Because notes for the supported branches are published behind the Prime docs, this feed will keep showing cadence without content, and the only readable signals are structural: which branches get tagged, and how far the 2.15 candidates have progressed.
◆Prediction
The 2.15 line looks close to shipping — rc5 followed by an alpha tag pinning the dashboard to a release build — so the next visible move is a 2.15.0 general release tag, again with its notes pointing to Prime documentation rather than appearing here.

    2.15.1 alpha tags the dashboard release build

    A single build-configuration line — the dashboard switched to its release build — on the branch after 2.15.0. Release plumbing, and a sign the 2.15 line is being readied rather than still in flux.

    Rancher 2.12.12 tagged, notes published in Prime docs

    A maintenance tag on the 2.12 line whose entire note redirects to the Prime documentation, so the feed records the cadence and none of the content.

    Rancher 2.11.16 tagged, notes published in Prime docs

    The 2.11 twin of the same day's 2.12 tag, published seconds apart and equally content-free — the oldest supported branch still receiving releases.

    Rancher 2.15.0 release candidate 5 component manifest

    The fifth 2.15.0 release candidate, listing images, chart branches, and component versions. Useful for verifying a build, but it describes nothing about what changed.
