v0.25.3

Release Date: 2026-02-16

Description

This release fixes a critical issue with the Rancher Turtles no-cert-manager feature which is enabled by default in Rancher v2.13.

This issue affects all users upgrading from Rancher Turtles v0.24 + Rancher v2.12 to Rancher v2.13.

In particular, the CAPIProviders have a chance at not being converted correctly to remove cert-manager dependencies and the WranglerManagedCertificates condition will not be set.

When this is the case, conflicts with the Provider’s CRDs may unexpectedly increase etcd size.

For a workaround or more information, please see: #2109.
