Key changes include: CEL policy types (ValidatingPolicy, MutatingPolicy, GeneratingPolicy, ImageValidatingPolicy, DeletingPolicy, and their namespaced variants) are now stable and production-ready; new namespaced mutation and generation policies enable true multi-tenancy; and a range of new CEL functions are added (hashing, math, X.509 decoding, JSON/YAML parsing, time utilities). Legacy ClusterPolicy and CleanupPolicy (JMESPath-based) are officially deprecated with removal planned for v1.20 (Oct 2026). The release also includes Cosign v3 support, improved observability with a new `--allowedResults` flag, a decoupled API repository and SDK for integrators, and a fully redesigned kyverno.io website built on Starlight. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
