Released: 11 Aug 2026
The edbctl 1.8.1 release includes new features, improvements, and bug fixes to enhance the functionality and performance of the Hybrid Manager (HM) CLI tool.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Added edbctl hybrid-manager parse-operator-logs to render Hybrid Manager operator reconciliation logs as a live dashboard or chronological timeline, surfacing the most recent events on failure. |
| Feature | Added cosign signature verification to edbctl image sync-to-local-registry, export-to-archive, and import-from-archive via --verify-signature, --verify-key-path, and --verify-key-only, so customers can confirm images they receive are what EDB published. Archive commands now round-trip signatures alongside the images they carry. |
| Improvement | Updated the default latest Innovation Release (IR) version reference to v2026.8. |
| Bug fix | Fixed edbctl image import-from-archive and edbctl image export-to-archive failing on every archive that ships a directory entry, caused by a Go stdlib security fix tightening path validation against trailing-slash directory names. |
| Bug fix | Fixed edbctl operator sync-to-local-registry and the operator step of edbctl image sync-to-local-registry failing on hosts with a v1-format registry. |
| Bug fix | Fixed edbctl image cleanup-registry and other registry-touching subcommands failing on hosts with a v1-format registry. |
