v0.28.0

What's Changed

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• Update the default init package's k3s version to v1.27.2+k3s1 from v1.24.1+k3s1 by @renovate in #1709

This only impacts existing deployments using the k3s component from the default init package, and the deprecated APIs are outlined in the K8s Deprecated API Migration Guide. Chart manifests will need to be updated to support the new APIs and will need to be redeployed to the cluster ideally prior to upgrading k3s. Zarf-managed charts can detect deprecations and attempt migrations after a k3s update but any GitOps deployments will need to be updated manually (see the Helm mapkubeapis plugin if you need to do this after updating k3s)
