v1.14.32026-10-07patchsecurity~~~~~~~~~~~~*****!sharesource

Cluster API released v1.14.3. The release bumps grpc to 1.83.2 to address security advisories, along with several OpenTelemetry, golang.org/x/net and genproto dependencies. Fixes include setting the cluster-name label on Clusters without ClusterClass, a race in the KCP proxy DialContext, and handling of etcd member matching and not-found owner references.

platform teams Platform teams running Cluster API should pick up the grpc dependency fix and the KCP and cluster labeling fixes. The release notes list no breaking changes, and the source does not describe any new capability.

v1.13.72026-10-07patchsecurity~~~~~~~~~~~~~****!sharesource

Cluster API v1.13.7 was released with 28 changes: one security item bumping grpc to 1.83.2 for security advisories, 14 dependency changes (including OpenTelemetry v1.45.0 and golang.org/x/net v0.58.0), and four fixes. The fixes cover cluster-name labels on Clusters without ClusterClass, KCP learner deletion after Node registration, a race in the KCP proxy DialContext, and a flaky test.

platform teams The security fix is a dependency bump, not a vulnerability in Cluster API's own code, so platform teams should upgrade for the advisory fix and the KCP race fix. The release notes list supported management cluster versions as v1.32.x to v1.36.x and workload cluster versions as v1.30.x to v1.36.x.
