We need to cut a release of ansible-operator-plugins and then bump our dependency on this and cut a release.

We're in the process of upgrading our dependencies, this should happen with that automatically.

@jberkhahn Till when can we expect the next release?

[BrimstoneXmk]

We can see that the latest release has happened for Ansible as well as for helm. New version of operator SDK is available now : 1.34.2. Checked Go version used in this new release. For helm-operator, its upgraded to 1.21.10. Refer below output.

bash-4.4# helm-operator version helm-operator version: "v1.34.2", commit: "81dd3cb24b8744de03d312c1ba23bfc617044005", kubernetes version: "v1.28.0", go version: "go1.21.10", GOOS: "linux", GOARCH: "amd64"

But for ansible-operator, new release is using Go 1.21.9 . Refer below output.

bash-4.4# ansible-operator version ansible-operator version: "v1.34.2", commit: "1c1f3931cc40b75a6fd6f1dd48847f288abc748a", kubernetes version: "v1.28.0", go version: "go1.21.9", GOOS: "linux", GOARCH: "amd64"

can anyone explain why is this difference?
