### [`v2.4.0`](https://redirect.github.com/fluxcd/flux2/releases/tag/v2.4.0)
[Compare Source](https://redirect.github.com/fluxcd/flux2/compare/v2.3.0...v2.4.0)
#### Highlights
Flux v2.4.0 is a feature release. Users are encouraged to upgrade for the best experience.
For a compressive overview of new features and API changes included in this release, please refer to the [Announcing Flux 2.4 GA blog post](https://fluxcd.io/blog/2024/09/flux-v2.4.0/).
This release marks the General Availability (GA) of Flux Bucket API. The `Bucket` v1 API comes with new features including: proxy support, mTLS and custom STS configuration for AWS S3 and MinIO LDAP authentication.
The `GitRepository` v1 API gains support for OIDC authentication. Starting with this version, you can authenticate against Azure DevOps repositories using AKS Workload Identity.
The `OCIRepository` v1beta2 API gains support for proxy configuration thus allowing dedicated HTTP/S Proxy authentication on multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters.
The `HelmRelease` v2 API gains support for disabling JSON schema validation of the Helm release values during installation and upgrade. And allows adopting existing Kubernetes resources during Helm release installation.
The Flux controllers are now built with Go 1.23 and their dependencies have been updated to Kubernetes 1.31, Helm 3.16, SOPS 3.9 Cosign 2.4 and Notation 1.2.
❤️ Big thanks to all the Flux contributors that helped us with this release!
##### Kubernetes compatibility
This release is compatible with the following Kubernetes versions:
| Kubernetes version | Minimum required |
|--------------------|------------------|
| `v1.29` | `>= 1.29.0` |
| `v1.30` | `>= 1.30.0` |
| `v1.31` | `>= 1.31.0` |
> \[!NOTE]
> Note that the Flux project offers support only for the latest three minor versions of Kubernetes.
> Backwards compatibility with older versions of Kubernetes and OpenShift is offered by vendors such as
> [ControlPlane](https://control-plane.io/enterprise-for-flux-cd/) that provide enterprise support for Flux.
##### OpenShift compatibility
Flux can be installed on Red Hat OpenShift cluster directly from OperatorHub using [Flux Operator](https://operatorhub.io/operator/flux-operator).
The operator allows the configuration of Flux multi-tenancy lockdown, network policies, persistent storage, sharding, vertical scaling and the synchronization of the cluster state from Git repositories, OCI artifacts and S3-compatible storage.
#### API changes
##### Bucket v1
The [Bucket](https://fluxcd.io/flux/components/source/buckets/)
kind was promoted from v1beta2 to v1 (GA).
The v1 API is backwards compatible with v1beta2.
New fields:
- `.spec.proxySecretRef` allows configuring HTTP/S Proxy authentication for the S3-compatible storage service.
- `.spec.certSecretRef` allows custom TLS client certificate and CA for secure communication with the S3-compatible storage service.
- `.spec.sts` allows custom STS configuration for AWS S3 and MinIO LDAP authentication.
##### GitRepository v1
The [GitRepository](https://fluxcd.io/flux/components/source/gitrepositoies/)
kind gains new optional fields with no breaking changes.
New fields:
- `.spec.provider` allows specifying an OIDC provider used for authentication purposes. Currently, only the `azure` provider is supported.
##### OCIRepository v1beta2
The [OCIRepository](https://fluxcd.io/flux/components/source/ocirepositoies/)
kind gains new optional fields with no breaking changes.
New fields:
- `.spec.proxySecretRef` allows configuring HTTP/S Proxy authentication for the container registry service.
##### HelmRelease v2
The [HelmRelease](https://fluxcd.io/flux/components/helm/helmreleases/)
kind gains new optional fields with no breaking changes.
New fields:
- `.spec.install.disableSchemaValidation` allows disabling the JSON schema validation of the Helm release values during installation.
- `.spec.upgrade.disableSchemaValidation` allows disabling the JSON schema validation of the Helm release values during upgrade.
#### Upgrade procedure
Upgrade Flux from `v2.3.0` to `v2.4.0` either by [rerunning bootstrap](https://fluxcd.io/flux/installation/#bootstrap-upgrade) or by using the [Flux GitHub Action](https://redirect.github.com/fluxcd/flux2/tree/main/action).
To upgrade the APIs, make sure the new CRDs and controllers are deployed, and then change the manifests in Git:
1. Set `apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1` in the YAML files that contain `Bucket` definitions.
2. Commit, push and reconcile the API version changes.
Bumping the APIs version in manifests can be done gradually.
It is advised to not delay this procedure as the deprecated versions will be removed after 6 months.
