v0.14.0

Announcing Akri v0.14.0!

Akri v0.14.0 is the first release since v0.13.8. It is a large modernization release: the Kubernetes and Rust stacks are brought current (kube-rs 1.0, tonic 0.13, Rust 1.88), the supported Kubernetes baseline moves to ≥ 1.33, several RUSTSEC advisories are cleared, and the sample brokers/apps have moved to the project-akri/examples repository.

Breaking Changes

Kubernetes baseline raised from ≥ 1.16 to ≥ 1.33 (k8s-openapi pinned to v1_33); validated on 1.33 / 1.34 / 1.36.
Embedder / API surface updated: kube-rs 1.0, tonic 0.13, prost 0.13, hyper 1.0, rustls 0.23 — projects embedding Akri crates must update accordingly.
MSRV raised to Rust 1.88.
Sample brokers/apps moved to project-akri/examples: pinned ghcr.io/project-akri/akri/<sample>:latest-dev image references no longer resolve — switch to the examples-repo images/paths.

Known Issues

RUSTSEC-2024-0421 (idna) and RUSTSEC-2024-0388 (derivative) remain — both are pulled solely via the frozen opcua 0.12 crate. Deferred to a later release and tracked in #841 (opcua → async-opcua migration).
RUSTSEC-2026-0258 (h2 unbounded empty DATA frames) is present via the pinned h2 patch fork; awaiting an upstream fix.
