Generates the monthly community update summarizing radius-project activity for June 2026, sourced entirely from GitHub release notes and merged PRs.

New post at radblog/content/posts/2026/community-update-june/index.md, following the structure and conventions of the preceding May update.

Content

  • Releases — v0.59.0 (June 18): --preview CLI support for Radius.Core types, explicit Kubernetes namespace for Radius.Core/environments, default Contour Gateway for route Recipes, rad run deprecation warning, and bug fixes. Each item links to its PR.
  • Upcoming features — PRs merged to main after the release cutoff (multi-cluster deployment, simpler Resource Type schemas, direct module support for Recipes, NetworkPolicy Helm flag, RADIUS_PREVIEW, clearer unregistered-type errors, Helm value preservation on upgrade), separated per the issue's request to distinguish shipped vs. in-progress work.
  • Ecosystem and docs — resource-types-contrib, the new resource-types-verification repo, contributor guides, and docs restructuring.

Notes

  • No "new contributors" section: all v0.59.0 changelog authors were verified as returning contributors, so the section is omitted rather than fabricated.
  • All PR numbers and usernames are drawn from actual GitHub data.
  • Frontmatter dated 2026-06-30; passes cspell and renders under hugo build.

@copilot - Couple of things to be fixed

  1. Explain the upcoming features, they are vague
  2. Call out new contributors and community activity
  3. remove resource-type-verification repo as it is private
  4. You can also add designs added or in progress for community feedback

@copilot - Couple of things to be fixed

  1. Explain the upcoming features, they are vague
    ...

Addressed in the latest commit:

  1. Explained the upcoming features — each item now describes the problem it solves and how it works (e.g., the ClusterAccessResolver seam and RADIUS_TARGET_KUBECONFIG for multi-cluster, auto-injected base schema properties, direct-module outputs mapping, the networkPolicies.enabled lockdown, RADIUS_PREVIEW, the clearer unregistered-type error, and reset-then-reuse Helm upgrade semantics).
  2. Removed the private resource-types-verification repo from the Ecosystem section.
  3. Added a "Designs for community feedback" section listing the design notes shared this month (multi-cluster #12106, output resource identity #12074, Radius.Compute/containerImages #11734, auto-injected base properties #12223) and the still-open proposal #12236 for feedback.
  4. Added a "Community" section — I verified there were no first-time contributors in the v0.59.0 window (all changelog authors are returning contributors), so rather than fabricate names I called out real community activity, including @gergo-hortobagyi's detailed gateway bug report (#12259) and the new User Journey issue template (#12123).

Verified with hugo build and cspell.

- **`rad app graph --preview` and `rad app status --preview`** — View the application graph and check status for Applications deployed as `Radius.Core/applications`. ([#11983](https://github.com/radius-project/radius/pull/11983))
- **`rad workspace create --preview`** — Create workspaces that use `Radius.Core/environments`, so you can pair them with the new Resource Types. ([#11905](https://github.com/radius-project/radius/pull/11905))

#### Explicit Kubernetes namespace for Radius.Core Environments
#### Explicit Kubernetes namespace for new `Radius.Core/environments`


Previously, Environments created with `Applications.Core/environments` created a new Kubernetes namespace on your behalf. That approach did not match enterprise scenarios where namespace creation is managed by cluster administrators. New `Radius.Core/environments` now require you to pass the Kubernetes namespace you want to use for Application deployments, falling back to `default` if none is specified. ([#12045](https://github.com/radius-project/radius/pull/12045))

#### CLI support for the new Radius.Core Resource Types

> Note: the new `Radius.Core/*` Resource Types are actively under development and available now only as an early, sparsely documented preview. You can try them with the `--preview` flag on the relevant CLI commands. See the [rad CLI reference](https://docs.radapp.io/reference/cli/) for details.

Move the preview note to the top since it applies to many of the feature highlights.
