From version 2.0.0, the Hybrid Manager (HM) operator is released independently of HM, with its own versioning lifecycle. Its version numbers don't mirror those of HM.
A single 2.x operator supports a range of HM versions, across both the long-term support (LTS) and innovation release (IR) lines.
The following matrix defines the supported compatibility between operator releases and HM versions.
| Operator version | HM versions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2.1.0 | 1.4.2 (LTS), 2026.8 (IR) | Required for the marketplace scenario. |
| 2.0.0 | 1.4.0, 1.4.1 (LTS), 2026.7 (IR) | First release with independent versioning. |
The marketplace scenario requires operator 2.1.0 or later
HM 1.4.2 and 2026.8 add a marketplace scenario, covering kapp-controller and the OSS Library apps it deploys. Operator 2.0.0 doesn't recognize the value, so a HybridControlPlane listing marketplace in spec.scenarios is rejected while the operator is before 2.1.0. Bring the operator to 2.1.0 or later before you add the scenario.
