kOps released v1.37.0-beta.1 and made nodeup.xz the canonical release artifact, while test-infra dropped support for EOL Debian 11.

kOps shipped v1.37.0-beta.1 [1], which streamlines the release pipeline and fixes a retry in `kops delete cluster`. The release also enabled the team to make `nodeup.xz` the canonical release artifact [2], a change that removes the compatibility workaround that modeled the uncompressed binary and its hash. Previously, nodeup was downloaded as an uncompressed binary; now kOps downloads, validates the compressed hash, and decompresses `nodeup.xz` directly, publishing only the xz artifact. Supporting this, kOps now caches file hashes instead of entire nodeup assets [3], which previously caused later `AssetBuilder`s to miss nodeup in `FileAssets()` and could carry over another builder's repository mapping. The change independently remaps and registers nodeup for every builder, preventing stale cache reuse. Relatedly, test-infra added CI jobs for the kOps release-1.37 branch [4] and dropped Debian 11 from testing [5], citing "Debian 11 is EOL." Meanwhile, registry.k8s.io released v0.7.2 [6], which adds a custom user agent for archeio and new cri-o e2e tests.
