Obtain the attestation:

:::shell
REKOR_UUID=108e9186e8c5677a040c237838848039376864340e5217f6c7c23f294d61437c3d196cb1112b91f1
rekor-cli get --uuid $REKOR_UUID --format json | jq -r .Attestation | jq .

Verify that all container images in the attestation are in the release file:

:::shell
RELEASE_FILE=https://storage.googleapis.com/tekton-releases/pipeline/previous/v1.4.0/release.yaml
REKOR_UUID=108e9186e8c5677a040c237838848039376864340e5217f6c7c23f294d61437c3d196cb1112b91f1

# Obtains the list of images with sha from the attestation
REKOR_ATTESTATION_IMAGES=$(rekor-cli get --uuid "$REKOR_UUID" --format json | jq -r .Attestation | jq -r '.subject[]|.name + ":v1.4.0@sha256:" + .digest.sha256')

# Download the release file
curl "$RELEASE_FILE" > release.yaml

# For each image in the attestation, match it to the release file
for image in $REKOR_ATTESTATION_IMAGES; do
  printf $image; grep -q $image release.yaml && echo " ===> ok" || echo " ===> no match";
done

Changes

Features

• :sparkles: feat: resolve steps referencing StepActions concurrently (#8925)

The resolution of StepActions within a TaskRun is now performed concurrently, which can significantly reduce the time it takes for a TaskRun to start, especially when using multiple remote StepActions.

• :sparkles: Do not fail PipelineRun if pvc creation error is because of exceeded quotas (#8903)

PipelineRun do not fail anymore if the pvc creation is due to an exceeded quota ; it will be requeued instead (until quota is available or it times out)

• :sparkles: feat: override task timeouts in pipelineruns (#8636)

feature: PipelineRun can now override individual task timeouts with spec.taskRunSpecs[].timeout

Fixes

• :bug: check for the kubernetes sidecar implementation (#8986)

Updated the sidecar implementation to check the completion status of initContainers before marking the taskRun complete.

• :bug: fix: exclude pending PipelineRuns from metric (#8951)

Fixed tekton_pipelines_controller_running_pipelineruns metric to exclude pending PipelineRuns, it now counts only running PipelineRuns

• :bug: Fix tini-git image to be multi-arch (#8944)

Updating tini-git base image to be multi-platform, also fixing the resolvers image.

• :bug: fix(#8940): token-authentication header typo in git resolver (#8937)

Bug fix: Before this change, there was a regression in which the git resolver was not authenticating with the provided gitToken and gitTokenKey, breaking the git resolver's http token-based auth. After this change, all git operations performed by the git resolver use the provided gitToken for remote authentication.

• :bug: fix: allow finalizer updates on completed TaskRun and PipelineRuns (#9011)
• :bug: fix nightly-build workflow to use kind setup action from allowed list (#8939)
