`CancelHealthCheckOnNewRevision` feature gate (`Kustomization`,
`HelmRelease`)
- Support for commenting on Pull Requests directly from Flux
notifications (`Provider`)
- Custom SSA apply stages for ordering resource application in
kustomize-controller (`Kustomization`)
- Automatic GitHub App installation ID lookup from the repository owner
(`GitRepository`, `ImageUpdateAutomation`, `Provider`)
- Support for Cosign v3 for verifying OCI artifacts and container images
(`OCIRepository`)
- ArtifactGenerator support for extracting and modifying Helm charts
(`ArtifactGenerator`)
- Bypass cache when fetching source objects via `DirectSourceFetch`
feature gate (`Kustomization`, `HelmRelease`, `ArtifactGenerator`)

❤️ 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 |
| ------------------ | ---------------- |
| `v1.33`            | `&gt;= 1.32.0`      |
| `v1.34`            | `&gt;= 1.34.1`      |
| `v1.35`            | `&gt;= 1.35.0`      |

&gt; \[!NOTE]
&gt; Note that the Flux project offers support only for the latest three
minor versions of Kubernetes.
&gt; Backwards compatibility with older versions of Kubernetes and
OpenShift is offered by vendors such as
&gt; [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.

##### Upgrade procedure

:warning: The Flux APIs `v1beta2` and `v2beta2` (deprecated in 2024)
have reached end-of-life and have been removed from the CRDs.

Please follow the [Upgrade Procedure for Flux
v2.7+](https://redirect.github.com/fluxcd/flux2/discussions/5572) for a
smooth upgrade from older versions of Flux to v2.8.
