Heir v1.36.5-heirv0.2.0 is out, tracking Kubernetes v1.36.5. The headline change is how addons work: CoreDNS and the Flannel CNI are no longer rendered from bespoke Runtime fields, they're Helm charts you can disable, override, or replace, alongside any other chart you want installed at bootstrap. Backing that is a new component, clusteragent, which now owns everything that has to act against the cluster itself.

Heir v1.35.7-heirv0.1.0 is out. It tracks Kubernetes v1.35.7 and is the first release you can install with Helm: the control-plane Operator now ships as a proper chart, worker join tokens are a Kubernetes resource instead of a CLI command, and Kubernetes Konnectivity has been replaced end-to-end by Heir's own implementation (plane tunnel).

I can bet you are reading this article from a device with a bright display, memory, a processor, and an energy source. That device is connected to the internet, a global web of undersea cables, data centers, routing protocols, and radio frequencies working in concert so that these words could travel from a server somewhere in the world and render, pixel by pixel, on your screen. Before you even read the first sentence, a browser had to interpret code, an operating system had to manage resources, and hardware built from silicon mined from the earth had to execute billions of operations per second.
