Release notes for version 0.49.0

Release date: 12 Oct 2026

• bump version of VM components to v1.154.0
• bump victoria-metrics-common dependency to 0.4.*. Resource names are unchanged.
• fix server.persistentVolume.volumeAttributesClassName being ignored because of a typo in the template.
• fix pod label selector in the chart notes: repeated -l flags were replaced with a single comma-separated selector, since kubectl only honours the last -l.
• fix server.persistentVolume.name in StatefulSet mode: the container mounted the default volume name instead of the overridden claim template name, which produced an invalid pod spec.
• rename config volumes to match the VictoriaMetrics operator: scrapeconfig to config-out and relabelconfig to relabelings-assets. Pods with scrape or relabel config enabled are restarted once on upgrade.
