## About this Channel

The **stable.25-04** release channel was forked from
[edge.25-04-03](https://panfactum.com/docs/changelog/edge.25-04-03) to provide a
long-term-support release track for the April 2025 version of the
Panfactum framework.

Stable channels receive only critical bug-fixes and security patches.
No new features or breaking changes will be introduced in this channel.

release, including:

* EKS 1.33 with updated add-on versions
* Authentik Helm chart 2024.10.5
* Apex-domain website serving
* Bumped Terraform provider versions across production environments

## Channel Upgrade Instructions

## Migrating to stable.25-04

Follow these steps to move your Panfactum deployment from an
earlier release channel to **stable.25-04**.

### Prerequisites

* You must be running at least **edge.25-04-03** before switching to
  this stable channel. If you are on an older edge release, upgrade to
  edge.25-04-03 first by following the edge upgrade instructions for
  each intermediate release.

### Steps

1. Update your `panfactum.yaml` to set the release channel:

   ```yaml
   release_channel: stable.25-04
   ```

2. Run `pf update` to pull the stable.25-04 module versions.

3. Apply your infrastructure changes with `terragrunt apply` across
   all affected environments.

4. Verify that all services are healthy after the apply completes.

### Post-Migration

After migrating, you will only receive critical bug-fix and
security-patch releases on this channel. Monitor the
[release list](https://panfactum.com/docs/changelog/stable.25-04/0) for patch updates.
