Tekton v1.6.8
Pipeline release v1.6.8 "Sphynx Sentinels"
~-**
Tekton Pipelines v1.6.8 was published on 2026-10-23 as a patch release on the release-v1.6.x line. The condensed notes list one deprecation notice, one changed item, two fixes, and one other item, with the titles of the deprecation and change items left as placeholders in the source. One fix copies the vendor tarball into kodata instead of using a symlink, and the other bumps the plumbing ko image to Go 1.27.3.
What changes for platform teams
Platform teams running Tekton should check the deprecation and change entries in the upstream release notes, since the source text does not state what they are. The fixes are build and packaging changes, and the Go bump is a toolchain update rather than a fix in Tekton's own code.
