v5 package available but not release notes

[jlecour]

Hi,

This morning I find that v5.0 is available on your Debian repository and it seems to break some things (expected, on a major update), at least the "health" api.

I was searching for release notes, but I couldn't find any : nothing in the releases section on GitHub, nothing on the announcements page on the website…

This is confusing, to say the least.

Extracted from the upgrade notes :

The following article covers the relevant compatibility changes for users upgrading from previous Fluent Bit versions.

For more details about changes on each release, refer to the Official Release Notes.

Release notes will be prepared in advance of a Git tag for a release. An official release should provide both a tag and a release note together to allow users to verify and understand the release contents.

The tag drives the binary release process. Release binaries (containers and packages) will appear after a tag and its associated release note. This lets users to expect the new release binary to appear and allow/deny/update it as appropriate in their infrastructure.

And there is nothing about v5 there also. The latest mentionned version is 4.2

When starting the v5.0.0 program, the logs show a « fluent-bit 5.0-dev » ASCII art.

It's most likely that the 5.0 branch has not been released yet, but a tag has been created by mistake and it triggered the build/release process for the packages (as stated in the documentation).

It also seems the build pipeline for the docs is broken for a while now, since the mentioned "Official Release Notes" still show 4.2.2 instead of 4.2.3

Here is an "apt" output that show the list of available packages on the repository :
