Release v0.49.0

on GitHub

Welcome to the Inspektor Gadget v0.49.0 release!

Inspektor Gadget v0.49.0 brings important enhancements and fixes to improve observability and security. Key highlights include the addition of [OpenTelemetry profiles support[(https://github.com//pull/5003)] for exporters, a security fix addressing CFLAGS customization vulnerabilities (GHSA-79qw-g77v-2vfh), and an upgrade to Go 1.25.6. The release also includes improvements to the bpfstats gadget with a new --gadgets-only flag, better container handling to avoid blocking on creation, and several bug fixes for Kubernetes integration and UID/GID resolution. We also welcome two new contributors to the project!

Breaking Changes

• Improve bpfstats Gadget: default to showing all eBPF programs and add new flag --gadgets-only to show only gadget programs by @alronova in #5212. The --all parameter was removed and it's now the default behavior. To force the old behavior (showing only stats of gadgets) pass --gadgets-only
