1.9.6

Release date: 2026-10-01

This patch release normalizes Azure Blob listing ETags so that the listing digest stays consistent with the stored artifact revision and unchanged containers are no longer re-downloaded on every reconcile, and evicts stale Helm repository index entries from the cache so that repositories with frequently changing indexes no longer fail with "Cache is full".

Fixes:

• Normalize Azure listing ETags #2171
• Evict stale Helm index entries from cache #2152

Improvements:

• Replace MinIO server with in-process S3 mock in tests #2153
• Correct the shallow clone claim for commit plus branch in the GitRepository docs #2147
