**[Classic runtime 8.x](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/codefresh-runner/cf-runtime) now uses Docker v28, which drops support for legacy ([manifest v2 schema 1](https://docs.docker.com/engine/deprecated/#pushing-and-pulling-with-image-manifest-v2-schema-1)) images.**

Pipelines using these images will fail after upgrade —[update them before proceeding](https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/kb/articles/upgrade-deprecated-docker-images/).

**CLI-based runtime installs are deprecated.**

To upgrade to the new Docker runtime 8.x, you must first[migrate to the Helm-based runtime](https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/installation/runner/install-codefresh-runner/) in[this repo](https://github.com/codefresh-io/venona/tree/main/charts/cf-runtime#migrating-from-cli-based-installation-to-helm-chart)

**Enhanced GitOps App Breadcrumbs**

[**Enhanced GitOps App Breadcrumbs**](https://app.getbeamer.com/codefreshio7974/en/exciting-new-feature-enhanced-gitops-app-breadcrumbs-9Jr0zhN8)

Navigation is now clearer and faster with:

- Runtime link in breadcrumbs – click to view all apps for that runtime.

- New icons for Runtime, GitSource, ApplicationSet, and Application, making app hierarchy easier to understand at a glance.

**Applications are now associated with Products only via an Annotation.**

The older "Manage Apps" section for product association has been deprecated.

**Easily Add Secret Variables**

[**Easily Add Secret Variables**](https://app.getbeamer.com/codefreshio7974/en/easily-add-secret-variables)

You can now create secret variables directly in the UI:

- One-step creation – no manual encryption needed.

- Improved security – secrets are encrypted automatically.
