June 2025 patch releases and v1.34.0-alpha.1 postponed

[Marko Mudrinić]

Dear Kubernetes Community,

Due to the Release Managers availability and our intention to include the latest Go updates[1] in the upcoming releases, we have to delay both the June 2025 patch releases and the v1.34.0-alpha.1 release:

• The June 2025 patch releases are delayed for Tuesday, June 17, 2025
• The v1.34.0-alpha.1 release is delayed for Monday, June 16, 2025

We apologize for any inconvenience these delays may cause. If you have any questions, please reach out to Release Managers on the #sig-release Slack channel[2].

Thank you for understanding!

Marko Mudrinić,

on behalf of Kubernetes SIG Release
