No stable releases for JupyterHub 5.0 and 5.1?

[krassowski]

This is a question really, I noticed that there are no stable releases for JupyterHub 5.0 nor 5.1:

Are there any implications for using the development releases instead? Are there plans to tag one of them as stable?

I think we're working on finalizing a kubespawner release, then we'll tag a new version of the chart

@minrk to make sure, can I upgrade without a bump chart? like just bump the images (assuming that I don't use / need a feature introduced in the new chart version)

[minrk]

I wouldn't guarantee it. That might work, but changes in how the chart makes config available to the image could have happened.

Thanks 🙏

FYI this is blocking some folks from upgrading to JupyterHub 5.x, see https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/rtc-add-new-collaboration-groups-dynamically-without-restart-the-hub/27954/5 - given that 5.x includes new security features it might be worth tagging a version as stable if there is no known issues in the helm chart (on our side in https://github.com/nebari-dev/nebari/ we have not encountered any issues and we've been testing it since 5.0 RC and are now on 5.1).
