Rancher folks. Regarding: https://github.com/rancher/rke2/releases/tag/v1.26.0%2Brke2r2 - is there a plan to mark this as "latest"? Thanks

it should already be latest in the channel server (which is used by the install script), but 1.26 probably won’t be stable until .1 or .2. We usually give the new minor a bit before marking it stable.
if you’re talking about in the GH release list, that is really just cosmetic

I guess I was relying on
curl <https://api.github.com/repos/rancher/rke2/releases/latest>
to meaningfully give me the latest release. Are you saying that's not the right way to get the latest release?

yeah don’t do that
we have a channel server specifically for that

so - basically the same thing the installer shell script is doing...

yes, that is what the install script uses
it gives us better control over what is served as latest. Up until VERY recently GH just served the tag with the most recent timestamp as the ‘latest’ release.
