# Panfactum Changelog — edge.25-02-18

> **Warning:** This release has been flagged as one that users should skip.

> Contains CI/CD pipeline issues (fixed in next release). Improves provider metadata handling, fixes version pinning in first-party modules, properly respects external replica changes, and resolves cert-manager webhook configuration.

## Highlights

- Skip this release — causes issues in CI/CD pipelines for IaC deployments (resolved in next release)

## Fixes

- The `pf` provider will now receive Kubernetes metadata regardless of whether the Kubernetes providers are enabled in the module tree.
  - Reference (issue-report): [pf provider missing Kubernetes metadata when K8s providers disabled](https://github.com/Panfactum/stack/issues/239)
- Pinning the `version` of first-party IaC modules now works without error regardless of what version of the Panfactum modules are
  - Reference (issue-report): [Version pinning broken for first-party IaC modules](https://github.com/Panfactum/stack/issues/237)
- `ignore_replica_count` in [`kube_deployment`](https://panfactum.com/docs/edge/reference/infrastructure-modules/submodule/kubernetes/kube_deployment) and [`kube_stateful_set`](https://panfactum.com/docs/edge/reference/infrastructure-modules/submodule/kubernetes/kube_stateful_set) will now properly not reset `spec.replicas` if it has been mutated by an external process.
  - Impacts: iac-module `kube_deployment` — Properly respects externally mutated replica count
  - Impacts: iac-module `kube_stateful_set` — Properly respects externally mutated replica count
  - Reference (issue-report): [ignore_replica_count not respecting external replica changes](https://github.com/Panfactum/stack/issues/238)
- Fixed `webhookConfigurations` to use `{}` instead of `null` in `kube_cert_manager`.
  - Impacts: iac-module `kube_cert_manager` — Fix webhookConfigurations using null instead of empty object
  - Reference (issue-report): [webhookConfigurations using null instead of empty object](https://github.com/Panfactum/stack/issues/208)
