The official Kubernetes Python client tagged v36.0.0 on May 20, 2026. The published GitHub release is intentionally short and points users at the install commands and the full changelog on the release-36.0 branch. This post collects what is on the release page, plus the practical bits operators usually want before bumping the version in production code.
A look at what landed in PrefectHQ/prefect over the past week. The 3.7.2 release went out, the new worker channel got handshake and snapshot plumbing, and the Azure container worker finally retries on transient 5xx responses. About 53 commits across 421 files.
Playwright Python 1.60.0 ships HAR recording as a tracing API, a new drop() method on locators, and soft assertions for pytest. The release was published on May 18, 2026 and pulls the bundled browsers up to Chromium 148, Firefox 150, and WebKit 26.4.
A quiet week for kubernetes/kube-scheduler on the surface: four commits, mostly module file churn. Under the churn there is one real story for operators, the promotion of the scheduling workload API to v1alpha3 with a breaking shape change to DisruptionMode, plus a golang.org/x/net bump that unblocks Go 1.27 tip builds.
Apache Airflow shipped 143 commits to main in the last seven days, touching 1,210 files across 46,490 insertions and 11,241 deletions. The headline change is multi team triggerer support landing as a schema migration on the trigger table, plus a new airflow dags clear CLI for partition range reprocessing. This post walks the activity that actually matters for operators and DAG authors who follow apache/airflow.
