About Argo Rollouts
An RC-only feed where 1.9's headline change was reverted before it shipped.
Every entry in this window is a release candidate; no GA tag appears at all. The 1.9 line spent three RCs largely on pipeline problems — rc3 explicitly ships no changes from rc2 — and its one architectural change was withdrawn. That change would have narrowed .status.selector to report only the stable ReplicaSet for traffic-routed canaries so HPA stopped counting canary pods in its desired-replica math. The 1.10.0-rc1 notes are dominated by build and dependency work.
