Important

Python 2-based UDFs are deprecated as of Kapacitor 1.7.7 and are removed in this release. In case you are using Python 2
with your User-Defined Functions (UDFs) you need to upgrade them to be Python 3-compatible before installing this version.
This required change aligns with modern security practices and ensures your custom functions will continue to work after upgrading.

Other

1. 2845: Python2 UDFs no longer supported and CI changes
   1. Internal build image reverted to cross-builder
   2. Reference GO version upgraded to 1.23.9
   3. Python based UDFs no longer automatically support Python2. This change is part of our effort to follow modern security best practices. Note that as a courtesy to some users legacy Python2 compatible UDF agent code has been moved to the directory /udf/agent/py2. Further details can be found in the README.md in that directory.
