Time to cut a new release?

[tomasaschan]

In one of our projects, we have a dependency on sigs.k8s.io/kubebuilder-declarative-pattern v0.15.0-beta.1.0.20240926141202-cf8082c623b8 where the hash at the end points to the latest commit on master. Everything seems to work.

But if we do go get -u ./... && go mod tidy in this project, it selects v0.15.0-beta.2 which then seems to run into a bunch of compatibility issues with other k8s libraries:

λ go vet ./...

Is it time to cut a new release to avoid these issues? What is the process for that?

I found this document but it refers to the kuberentes-template project so I'm not sure how outdated it is...
