## 0.68.2

This release has **no breaking changes**. 🎉

It upgrades the version ranges of sub-dependencies to allow applications using FastAPI to easily upgrade them.

Soon there will be a new FastAPI release upgrading Starlette to take advantage of recent improvements, but as that has a higher chance of having breaking changes, it will be in a separate release.

- [`KT-27750`](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-27750) Reverse reservation of 'yield' as keyword

### Libraries

Release artifacts for 1.18.7 and 1.17.10 are incomplete. __Do not use these releases.__

There is an open PR ([#48189](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48189)) to resolve this issue, but as this issue also exists in 1.6, and as we do not wish to risk release stability by merging it directly prior to a release without sufficient testing, we have decided to defer merging the PR until the next point release for each minor version ([#48190](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48190)).
