Trying to install Rancher 2.7.1 on top of RKE2 I ran into this problem:

# helm install rancher rancher-latest/rancher --namespace cattle-system --set hostname=<http://rancher02.example.com|rancher02.example.com> --set ingress.tls.source=secret --version 2.7.1
Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: chart requires kubeVersion: < 1.25.0-0 which is incompatible with Kubernetes v1.25.6+rke2r1

How comes? Is there a schedule to support Kubernetes 1.25 or 1.26?

1.25 support i believe is currently targetted for 2.7.2

There is the Rancher from Resistance helm chart available, which supports 1.25.x but this Rancher version is 2.7.2-rc1 (latest, not stable)

2.7.2-rc1 is a release candidate rather than an official, latest release. we love members of the community playing around with it, but it's not fit for anything more

is any date on the horizon for 2.7.2 stable release?
