-name: Argo CD Release
-about: Used by our Release Champion to track progress of a minor release
-title: 'Argo CD Release vX.X'
-labels: 'release'
-assignees: ''
---
-
-Target RC1 date: ___. __, ____
-Target GA date: ___. __, ____
-
- - [ ] Create new section in the [Release Planning doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1trJIomcgXcfvLw0aYnERrFWfPjQOfYMDJOCh1S8nMBc/edit?usp=sharing)
- - [ ] Schedule a Release Planning meeting roughly two weeks before the scheduled Release freeze date by adding it to the community calendar (or delegate this task to someone with write access to the community calendar)
-     - [ ] Include Zoom link in the invite
- - [ ] Post in #argo-cd and #argo-contributors one week before the meeting
- - [ ] Post again one hour before the meeting
- - [ ] At the meeting, remove issues/PRs from the project's column for that release which have not been “claimed” by at least one Approver (add it to the next column if Approver requests that)
- - [ ] 1wk before feature freeze post in #argo-contributors that PRs must be merged by DD-MM-YYYY to be included in the release - ask approvers to drop items from milestone they can’t merge
- - [ ] At least two days before RC1 date, draft RC blog post and submit it for review (or delegate this task)
- - [ ] Cut RC1 (or delegate this task to an Approver and coordinate timing)
- - [ ] Create new release branch
-    - [ ] Add the release branch to ReadTheDocs
-    - [ ] Confirm that tweet and blog post are ready
-    - [ ] Trigger the release
-    - [ ] After the release is finished, publish tweet and blog post
-    - [ ] Post in #argo-cd and #argo-announcements with lots of emojis announcing the release and requesting help testing
- - [ ] Monitor support channels for issues, cherry-picking bugfixes and docs fixes as appropriate (or delegate this task to an Approver and coordinate timing)
- - [ ] At release date, evaluate if any bugs justify delaying the release. If not, cut the release (or delegate this task to an Approver and coordinate timing)
- - [ ] If unreleased changes are on the release branch for {current minor version minus 3}, cut a final patch release for that series (or delegate this task to an Approver and coordinate timing)
- - [ ] After the release, post in #argo-cd that the {current minor version minus 3} has reached EOL (example: https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C01TSERG0KZ/p1667336234059729)
- - [ ] (For the next release champion) Review the [items scheduled for the next release](https://github.com/orgs/argoproj/projects/25). If any item does not have an assignee who can commit to finish the feature, move it to the next release.
- - [ ] (For the next release champion) Schedule a time mid-way through the release cycle to review items again.

+Money given to the Argo CD project as part of the Internet Bug Bounty program is used in three ways:
+
+1. To reward CVE patch contributors
+2. To offer bounties on security enhancements (as announced by label/comment on Issues)
+3. To sponsor security-relevant dependencies
+
+If someone’s primary full-time job responsibility is to work on Argo CD, then their eligibility to receive this money is limited. (Determining this is up to the maintainers’ discretion. Someone who contributes an average of three commits per week during work hours probably meets the definition. A first-time contributor who uses Argo CD daily as an SRE does not.)
+
+A full-time Argo CD author is not eligible to receive rewards for CVE patch contributions. This avoids any risk of the appearance that a full-time Argo CD author is incentivized to introduce CVEs.
+
+A full-time Argo CD author is eligible to receive bounties for security enhancements if and only if the vast majority of the work is done in their free time (non-work hours). Busy work like resolving merge conflicts during work hours is acceptable (to avoid over-burdening the process).
+
+An Argo CD dependency is eligible to receive donations if it is listed in the Argo CD SBOM or if it is a binary invoked by Argo CD (like Helm). The dependency is not eligible for donations if a full-time Argo CD author is the primary author of the dependency.
+
+Offers and transfers of rewards, bounties, and donations will be made from time to time by the Argo CD maintainers, based on the current project needs and the amount of money available from IBB. The process should be lightweight and consensus-based for now. If necessary, a more structured system can be established based on experience gained from early rewards/bounties/donations

-# Contributors Quick-Start 
-
-This guide is a starting point for first-time contributors running Argo CD locally for the first time.
-
-It skips advanced topics such as codegen, which are covered in the [running locally guide](running-locally.md)
-and the [toolchain guide](toolchain-guide.md).
-
-## Getting Started
-
-### Install Go
-
- Install version 1.18 or newer (Verify version by running `go version`)
-
- Get current value of `GOPATH` env:
-   ```shell
-   go env | grep path
-   ```
- Change directory into that path
-   ```shell
-   cd <path>
-   ```
-
-### Clone the Argo CD repo
-
-```shell
-mkdir -p src/github.com/argoproj/ &&
-cd src/github.com/argoproj &&
-git clone https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd.git
-```
-
-### Install Docker
-
-<https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/>
-
-### Install or Upgrade `kind` (Optional - Should work with any local cluster)
-
-<https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/>
-
-### Start Your Local Cluster
-
-```shell
-kind create cluster
-```
-
-### Install Argo CD
-
-```shell
-kubectl create namespace argocd &&
-kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/master/manifests/install.yaml
-```
-
-Set kubectl config to avoid specifying the namespace in every kubectl command.  
-All following commands in this guide assume the namespace is already set.
-
-```shell
-kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=argocd
-```
-
-### Install `yarn`
-
-<https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/>
-
-### Install `goreman`
-
-<https://github.com/mattn/goreman#getting-started>
-
-### Run Argo CD
-
-```shell
-cd argo-cd
-make start-local ARGOCD_GPG_ENABLED=false
-```
-
- Navigate to <localhost:4000> to the ArgoCD UI on browser
- It may take a few minutes for the UI to be responsive
-
-!!! note
-    If the UI is not working, check the logs from `make start-local`. The logs are `DEBUG` level by default. If the logs are
-    too noisy to find the problem, try editing log levels for the commands in the `Procfile` in the root of the Argo CD repo.
-
-## Making Changes
-
-### UI Changes
-
-Modifying the User-Interface (by editing .tsx or .scss files) auto-reloads the changes on port 4000.
-
-### Backend Changes
-
-Modifying the API server, repo server, or a controller requires restarting the current `make start-local` session to reflect the changes.
-
-### CLI Changes
-
-Modifying the CLI requires restarting the current `make start-local` session to reflect the changes.
-
-To test most CLI commands, you will need to log in.
-
-First, get the auto-generated secret:
-
-```shell
-kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d; echo
-```
-
-Then log in using that password and username `admin`:
-
-```shell
-dist/argocd login localhost:8080
-```
-

 # Release Process And Cadence

-## Release Cycle
+Argo CD is being developed using the following process:

-### Schedule
+* Maintainers commit to work on set of features and enhancements and create GitHub milestone to track the work.
+* We are trying to avoid delaying release and prefer moving the feature into the next release if we cannot complete it on time.
+* The new release is published every **3 months**.
+* Critical bug-fixes are cherry-picked into the release branch and delivered using patch releases as frequently as needed.

-These are the upcoming releases dates:

+We are using GitHub milestones to perform release planning and tracking. Each release milestone includes two type of issues:

-Actual release dates might differ from the plan by a few days.
+* Issues that maintainers committed to working on. Maintainers decide which features they are committing to work on during the next release based on
+  their availability. Typically issues added offline by each maintainer and finalized during the contributors' meeting. Each such issue should be
+  assigned to maintainer who plans to implement and test it.
+* Nice to have improvements contributed by community contributors. Nice to have issues are typically not critical, smallish enhancements that could
+  be contributed by community contributors. Maintainers are not committing to implement them but committing to review PR from the community.

-### Release Process
+The milestone should have a clear description of the most important features as well as the expected end date. This should provide clarity to end-users
+about what to expect from the next release and when.

-#### Minor Releases (e.g. 2.x.0)
+In addition to the next milestone, we need to maintain a draft of the upcoming release milestone. 

-A minor Argo CD release occurs four times a year, once every three months. Each General Availability (GA) release is
-preceded by several Release Candidates (RCs). The first RC is released three weeks before the scheduled GA date. This
-effectively means that there is a three-week feature freeze.
+## Community Contributions

-These are the approximate release dates:
+We receive a lot of contributions from our awesome community, and we're very grateful for that fact. However, reviewing and testing PRs is a lot of (unplanned) work and therefore, we cannot guarantee that contributions (especially large or complex ones) made by the community receive a timely review within a release's time frame. Maintainers may decide on their own to put work on a PR together with the contributor and in this case, the maintainer will self-assigned the PR and thereby committing to review, eventually merge and later test it on the release scope.

-* The first Monday of February
-* The first Monday of May
-* The first Monday of August
-* The first Monday of November
+## Release Testing

-Dates may be shifted slightly to accommodate holidays. Those shifts should be minimal.
+We need to make sure that each change, both from maintainers and community contributors, is tested well and have someone who is going to fix last-minute
+bugs. In order to ensure it, each merged pull request must have an assigned maintainer before it gets merged. The assigned maintainer will be working on
+testing the introduced changes and fixing of any introduced bugs.

-#### Patch Releases (e.g. 2.5.x)
+We have a code freeze period two weeks before the release until the release branch is created. During code freeze no feature PR should be merged and it is ok
+to merge bug fixes.

-Argo CD patch releases occur on an as-needed basis. Only the three most recent minor versions are eligible for patch
-releases. Versions older than the three most recent minor versions are considered EOL and will not receive bug fixes or
-security updates.
+Maintainers assigned to a PR that's been merged should drive testing and work on fixing last-minute issues. For tracking purposes after verifying PR the assigned
+the maintainer should label it with a `verified` label.

-#### Minor Release Planning Meeting
+## Releasing

-Roughly two weeks before the RC date, there will be a meeting to discuss which features are planned for the RC. This meeting is
-for contributors to advocate for certain features. Features which have at least one approver (besides the contributor)
-who can assure they will review/merge by the RC date will be included in the release milestone. All other features will
-be dropped from the milestone (and potentially shifted to the next one).
+The releasing procedure is described in [releasing](./releasing.md) document. Before closing the release milestone following should be verified:

-Since not everyone will be able to attend the meeting, there will be a meeting doc. Contributors can add their feature
-to a table, and Approvers can add their name to the table. Features with a corresponding approver will remain in the
-release milestone.
-
-#### Release Champion
-
-To help manage all the steps involved in a release, we will have a Release Champion. The Release Champion will be
-responsible for a checklist of items for their release. The checklist is an issue template in the Argo CD repository.
-
-The Release Champion can be anyone in the Argo CD community. Some tasks (like cherry-picking bug fixes and cutting
-releases) require [Approver](https://github.com/argoproj/argoproj/blob/master/community/membership.md#community-membership)
-membership. The Release Champion can delegate tasks when necessary and will be responsible for coordinating with the
-Approver.
-
-### Feature Acceptance Criteria
-
-To be eligible for inclusion in a minor release, a new feature must meet the following criteria before the release’s RC
-date.
-
-If it is a large feature that involves significant design decisions, that feature must be described in a Proposal, and
-that Proposal must be reviewed and merged.
-
-The feature PR must include:
-
-* Tests (passing)
-* Documentation
-* If necessary, a note in the Upgrading docs for the planned minor release
-* The PR must be reviewed, approved, and merged by an Approver.
-
-If these criteria are not met by the RC date, the feature will be ineligible for inclusion in the RC series or GA for
-that minor release. It will have to wait for the next minor release.

-# Applications in any namespace
-
-**Current feature state**: Beta
-
-!!! warning
-    Please read this documentation carefully before you enable this feature. Misconfiguration could lead to potential security issues.
-
-## Introduction
-
-As of version 2.5, Argo CD supports managing `Application` resources in namespaces other than the control plane's namespace (which is usually `argocd`), but this feature has to be explicitly enabled and configured appropriately.
-
-Argo CD administrators can define a certain set of namespaces where `Application` resources may be created, updated and reconciled in. However, applications in these additional namespaces will only be allowed to use certain `AppProjects`, as configured by the Argo CD administrators. This allows ordinary Argo CD users (e.g. application teams) to use patterns like declarative management of `Application` resources, implementing app-of-apps and others without the risk of a privilege escalation through usage of other `AppProjects` that would exceed the permissions granted to the application teams.
-
-Some manual steps will need to be performed by the Argo CD administrator in order to enable this feature. 
-
-!!! note
-    This feature is considered beta as of now. Some of the implementation details may change over the course of time until it is promoted to a stable status. We will be happy if early adopters use this feature and provide us with bug reports and feedback.
-    
-## Prerequisites
-
-### Cluster-scoped Argo CD installation
-
-This feature can only be enabled and used when your Argo CD is installed as a cluster-wide instance, so it has permissions to list and manipulate resources on a cluster scope. It will *not* work with an Argo CD installed in namespace-scoped mode.
-
-### Switch resource tracking method
-
-Also, while technically not necessary, it is strongly suggested that you switch the application tracking method from the default `label` setting to either `annotation` or `annotation+label`. The reasoning for this is, that application names will be a composite of the namespace's name and the name of the `Application`, and this can easily exceed the 63 characters length limit imposed on label values. Annotations have a notably greater length limit.
-
-To enable annotation based resource tracking, refer to the documentation about [resource tracking methods](../../user-guide/resource_tracking/)
-
-## Implementation details
-
-### Overview
-
-In order for an application to be managed and reconciled outside the Argo CD's control plane namespace, two prerequisites must match:
-
-1. The `Application`'s namespace must be explicitly enabled using the `--application-namespaces` parameter for the `argocd-application-controller` and `argocd-server` workloads. This parameter controls the list of namespaces that Argo CD will be allowed to source `Application` resources from globally. Any namespace not configured here cannot be used from any `AppProject`.
-1. The `AppProject` referenced by the `.spec.project` field of the `Application` must have the namespace listed in its `.spec.sourceNamespaces` field. This setting will determine whether an `Application` may use a certain `AppProject`. If an `Application` specifies an `AppProject` that is not allowed, Argo CD refuses to process this `Application`. As stated above, any namespace configured in the `.spec.sourceNamespaces` field must also be enabled globally.
-
-`Applications` in different namespaces can be created and managed just like any other `Application` in the `argocd` namespace previously, either declaratively or through the Argo CD API (e.g. using the CLI, the web UI, the REST API, etc).
-
-### Reconfigure Argo CD to allow certain namespaces
-
-#### Change workload startup parameters
-
-In order to enable this feature, the Argo CD administrator must reconfigure the `argocd-server` and `argocd-application-controller` workloads to add the `--application-namespaces` parameter to the container's startup command.
-
-The `--application-namespaces` parameter takes a comma-separated list of namespaces where `Applications` are to be allowed in. Each entry of the list supports shell-style wildcards such as `*`, so for example the entry `app-team-*` would match `app-team-one` and `app-team-two`. To enable all namespaces on the cluster where Argo CD is running on, you can just specify `*`, i.e. `--application-namespaces=*`.
-
-The startup parameters for both, the `argocd-server` and the `argocd-application-controller` can also be conveniently set up and kept in sync by specifying the `application.namespaces` settings in the `argocd-cmd-params-cm` ConfigMap _instead_ of changing the manifests for the respective workloads. For example:
-
-```yaml
-data:
-  application.namespaces: app-team-one, app-team-two
-```
-
-would allow the `app-team-one` and `app-team-two` namespaces for managing `Application` resources. After a change to the `argocd-cmd-params-cm` namespace, the appropriate workloads need to be restarted:
-
-```bash
-kubectl rollout restart -n argocd deployment argocd-server
-kubectl rollout restart -n argocd statefulset argocd-application-controller
-```
-
-#### Adapt Kubernetes RBAC
-
-We decided to not extend the Kubernetes RBAC for the `argocd-server` workload by default for the time being. If you want `Applications` in other namespaces to be managed by the Argo CD API (i.e. the CLI and UI), you need to extend the Kubernetes permissions for the `argocd-server` ServiceAccount.
-
-We supply a `ClusterRole` and `ClusterRoleBinding` suitable for this purpose in the `examples/k8s-rbac/argocd-server-applications` directory. For a default Argo CD installation (i.e. installed to the `argocd` namespace), you can just apply them as-is:
-
-```shell
-kubectl apply -f examples/k8s-rbac/argocd-server-applications/
-```
-
-!!! note
-    At some later point in time, we may make this cluster role part of the default installation manifests.
-
-### Allowing additional namespaces in an AppProject
-
-Any user with Kubernetes access to the Argo CD control plane's namespace (`argocd`), especially those with permissions to create or update `Applications` in a declarative way, is to be considered an Argo CD admin.
-
-This prevented unprivileged Argo CD users from declaratively creating or managing `Applications` in the past. Those users were constrained to using the API instead, subject to Argo CD RBAC which ensures only `Applications` in allowed `AppProjects` were created.
-
-For an `Application` to be created outside the `argocd` namespace, the `AppProject` referred to in the `Application`'s `.spec.project` field must include the `Application`'s namespace in its `.spec.sourceNamespaces` field.
-
-For example, consider the two following (incomplete) `AppProject` specs:
-
-```yaml
-kind: AppProject
-apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
-metadata:
-  name: project-one
-  namespace: argocd
-spec:
-  sourceNamespaces:
-  - namespace-one
-```
-
-and
-
-```yaml
-kind: AppProject
-apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
-metadata:
-  name: project-two
-  namespace: argocd
-spec:
-  sourceNamespaces:
-  - namespace-two
-```
-
-In order for an Application to set `.spec.project` to `project-one`, it would have to be created in either namespace `namespace-one` or `argocd`. Likewise, in order for an Application to set `.spec.project` to `project-two`, it would have to be created in either namespace `namespace-two` or `argocd`.
-
-If an Application in `namespace-two` would set their `.spec.project` to `project-one` or an Application in `namespace-one` would set their `.spec.project` to `project-two`, Argo CD would consider this as a permission violation and refuse to reconcile the Application.
-
-Also, the Argo CD API will enforce these constraints, regardless of the Argo CD RBAC permissions.
-
-The `.spec.sourceNamespaces` field of the `AppProject` is a list that can contain an arbitrary amount of namespaces, and each entry supports shell-style wildcard, so that you can allow namespaces with patterns like `team-one-*`.
-
-!!! warning
-    Do not add user controlled namespaces in the `.spec.sourceNamespaces` field of any privileged AppProject like the `default` project. Always make sure that the AppProject follows the principle of granting least required privileges. Never grant access to the `argocd` namespace within the AppProject.
-
-!!! note
-    For backwards compatibility, Applications in the Argo CD control plane's namespace (`argocd`) are allowed to set their `.spec.project` field to reference any AppProject, regardless of the restrictions placed by the AppProject's `.spec.sourceNamespaces` field.
-  
-### Application names
-
-For the CLI and UI, applications are now referred to and displayed as in the format `<namespace>/<name>`. 
-
-For backwards compatibility, if the namespace of the Application is the control plane's namespace (i.e. `argocd`), the `<namespace>` can be omitted from the application name when referring to it. For example, the application names `argocd/someapp` and `someapp` are semantically the same and refer to the same application in the CLI and the UI.
-
-### Application RBAC
-
-The RBAC syntax for Application objects has been changed from `<project>/<application>` to `<project>/<namespace>/<application>` to accomodate the need to restrict access based on the source namespace of the Application to be managed.
-
-For backwards compatibility, Applications in the `argocd` namespace can still be refered to as `<project>/<application>` in the RBAC policy rules.
-
-Wildcards do not make any distinction between project and application namespaces yet. For example, the following RBAC rule would match any application belonging to project `foo`, regardless of the namespace it is created in:
-
-```
-p, somerole, applications, get, foo/*, allow
-```
-
-If you want to restrict access to be granted only to `Applications` in project `foo` within namespace `bar`, the rule would need to be adapted as follows:
-
-```
-p, somerole, applications, get, foo/bar/*, allow
-```
-  
-## Managing applications in other namespaces
-
-### Declaratively
-
-For declarative management of Applications, just create the Application from a YAML or JSON manifest in the desired namespace. Make sure that the `.spec.project` field refers to an AppProject that allows this namespace. For example, the following (incomplete) Application manifest creates an Application in the namespace `some-namespace`:
-
-```yaml
-kind: Application
-apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
-metadata:
-  name: some-app
-  namespace: some-namespace
-spec:
-  project: some-project
-  # ...
-```
-
-The project `some-project` will then need to specify `some-namespace` in the list of allowed source namespaces, e.g.
-
-```yaml
-kind: AppProject
-apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
-metadata:
-    name: some-project
-    namespace: argocd
-spec:
-    sourceNamespaces:
-    - some-namespace
-```
-
-### Using the CLI
-
-You can use all existing Argo CD CLI commands for managing applications in other namespaces, exactly as you would use the CLI to manage applications in the control plane's namespace.
-
-For example, to retrieve the `Application` named `foo` in the namespace `bar`, you can use the following CLI command:
-
-```shell
-argocd app get foo/bar
-```
-
-Likewise, to manage this application, keep referring to it as `foo/bar`:
-
-```bash
-# Create an application
-argocd app create foo/bar ...
-# Sync the application
-argocd app sync foo/bar
-# Delete the application
-argocd app delete foo/bar
-# Retrieve application's manifest
-argocd app manifests foo/bar
-```
-
-As stated previously, for applications in the Argo CD's control plane namespace, you can omit the namespace from the application name.
-
-### Using the UI
-
-Similar to the CLI, you can refer to the application in the UI as `foo/bar`.
-
-For example, to create an application named `bar` in the namespace `foo` in the web UI, set the application name in the creation dialogue's _Application Name_ field to `foo/bar`. If the namespace is omitted, the control plane's namespace will be used.
-
-### Using the REST API
-
-If you are using the REST API, the namespace for `Application` cannot be specified as the application name, and resources need to be specified using the optional `appNamespace` query parameter. For example, to work with the `Application` resource named `foo` in the namespace `bar`, the request would look like follows:
-
-```bash
-GET /api/v1/applications/foo?appNamespace=bar
-```
-
-For other operations such as `POST` and `PUT`, the `appNamespace` parameter must be part of the request's payload.
-
-For `Application` resources in the control plane namespace, this parameter can be omitted.

 ## Restrictions

 1. The Matrix generator currently only supports combining the outputs of only two child generators (eg does not support generating combinations for 3 or more).

-The Selector allows to post-filter based on generated values using the kubernetes common labelSelector format. In the example, the list generator generates a set of two application which then filter by the key value to only select the `env` with value `staging`:
