dex Files

Know Before Upgrade

• The major version of gomplate has been bumped to v5.0.0, which includes breaking changes. Here is the full list.
• There are two known CVEs in the gomplate binary - CVE-2025-68121 and CVE-2026-25934. gomplate is only used for preprocessing configuration files and is optional. Once the CVEs are fixed upstream, the version of gomplate in the dex image will be updated accordingly.
• The ContinueOnConnectorFailure feature flag is now enabled by default. To disable it, use the following environment variable: DEX_CONTINUE_ON_CONNECTOR_FAILURE=false.
• Pre-release versions of dex now use pseudo-versioning for identifying releases. Unreleased versions will follow the pattern v2.minor+1.0-yyyymmdd-commithash.
