+## 1.8.0
+
+**Release date:** 2026-02-17
+
+This minor release comes with various bug fixes and improvements.
+
+⚠️ The `v1beta2` APIs were removed. Before upgrading the CRDs, Flux users
+must run [`flux migrate`](https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/pull/5473) to
+migrate the cluster storage off `v1beta2`.
+
+### Kustomization
+
+The controller now cancels in-progress health checks when a new reconciliation
+request is received, reducing the mean time to recovery (MTTR) in case of
+failed deployments. This is available through the `CancelHealthCheckOnNewRevision`
+feature gate, that previously worked only for new source revisions but now also
+works for any watch events that trigger a new reconciliation.
+
+A custom SSA stage has been introduced, allowing Role and RoleBinding objects
+to be applied in the same call even when the impersonated ServiceAccount does
+not have a ClusterRoleBinding for `cluster-admin`. This can be specified with
+the flag `--custom-apply-stage-kinds=rbac.authorization.k8s.io/Role`.
+
+Health checks now handle Jobs with TTL set to zero seconds that are deleted
+before or during health checking.
+
+A `DirectSourceFetch` feature gate has been added to bypass cache for source
+objects, enabling immediate consistency for source object reads.
+
+### General updates
+
+In addition, the Kubernetes dependencies have been updated to v1.35.0,
+Kustomize has been updated to v5.8.1 and the controller is now built
+with Go 1.26.
