What happened
Prometheus release feed (early 2026) announcing new release candidates and stable releases. Key changes: Prometheus now ships an optional distroless Docker image variant (tags: -distroless and -busybox; busybox remains default) that uses UID/GID 65532 (non-root) and removes the VOLUME declaration — improving container security and requiring migration steps for named volumes and potential permission adjustments for bind mounts. Alerting metrics gained an alertmanager label for several notification metrics. Dependency updates include Docker library bump (28.2.2 → 28.5.2) and builds with Go 1.24.
