The community keeps growing, and we'd love to see you there! - Join the discussion in [Kubernetes Slack](https://kubernetes.slack.com): - for questions and just to hang out - for discussing PRs, code, and bugs - Hang out at the Public Developer Call: Thursday, 9:30 Pacific via [Zoom](https://zoom.us/j/696660622) - Test, debug, and contribute charts: [ArtifactHub/packages](https://artifacthub.io/packages/search?kind=0) ## Notable Changes - Fixed a bug where --dry-run=server was not respecting generateName #31563 - Fixed a bug where empty CRD resources caused a crash. Now it prints an error #31578 - Fixed a bug where OCI references with tag+digest failed with "invalid byte" error #31601 - Fixed a bug where user-provided nil value was not preserved when chart has an empty map or no default for a key #31644 - Fixed a regression since Helm 3.18.0 where Pulling charts from OCI repositories that use an index to store both Container Images and Helm Charts under the same tag failed #31776 - Fixed a Helm 4 regression where gotemplate white space trimming directly after YAML doc separators, when present after postrendering, caused YAML file corruption #31868 - Fixed a bug where `FailedStatus` is treated as a terminal state, causing upgrades to fail prematurely when cluster autoscalers needed time to provision nodes, or when pods were being deleted during rolling updates #31897 - Fixed broken backwards compatibility for deprecated `--atomic` flag on install command #31901 - SDK: Fixed a Windows 'Access Deined' error if multiple processes try to download the same chart version concurrently #31128 - SDK: Fixed a bug where users did not receive any logs from the waiter, causing confusion as several minutes could pass with no user feedback #31717 - SDK: Fixed a bug where server-side apply defaults did not always match the CLI defaults #31732 - SDK: Fixed a Go import issue when downstream tooling attempted to vendor helm.sh/helm/v4/pkg/kube #31852 ## Installation and Upgrading Download Helm v4.1.3.
