0.74.0

Highlights

Polish, bug fixes, guidelines, ci improvements, and new contributors

This release features smaller improvements/additions/cleanups/fixes, many of which are from new first-time contributors! Thank you everyone!
The listed deadlock fix was backported to 0.73.1.

We have also been trying to clarify and prove a lot more of our external-facing guarantees, and as a result:

• We have codified our Kubernetes versioning policy
• The Rust version policy has extended its support range
• Our CI has been extended

ResourceExt::name deprecation

A consequence of all the policy writing and the improved clarity we have decided to deprecate the common ResourceExt::name helper.

This method could panic and it is unexpected for the users and bad for our consistency. To get the old functionality, you can replace any .name() call on a Kubernetes resources with .name_unchecked(); but as the name implies, it can panic (in a local setting, or during admission). We recommend you replace it with the new ResourceExt::name_any for a general identifier:

-pod.name()
+pod.name_any()
