Helm operator 0.9.0

Bug fixes

• Make sure client-go logs to stderr weaveworks/flux#1945

Improvements

• Enqueue release update on git chart source changes and improve mirror change calculations weaveworks/flux#1906, weaveworks/flux#2005

• Stop logging broadcasted Kubernetes events weaveworks/flux#1906
• Log and return early if release is not upgradable weaveworks/flux#2008

Maintenance and documentation

• Update client-go to v1.11 weaveworks/flux#1929
• Move images to DockerHub and have a separate pre-releases image repo weaveworks/flux#1949, weaveworks/flux#1956
• Support arm and arm64 builds weaveworks/flux#1950
• Retry keyscan when building images, to mitigate for occasional timeouts weaveworks/flux#1971

Thanks

Flux 1.12.0

This release renames some fluxctl commands and arguments while deprecating others, to better follow Kubernetes terminology. In particular, it drops the term "controller" in favour of "workload";
e.g., instead of

fluxctl list-controllers --controller=...

there is now

fluxctl list-workloads --workload=...

The old commands are deprecated but still available for now.

It also extends the namespace restriction flag (--k8s-allow-namespace, with a deprecated alias --k8s-namespace-whitelist) to cover all operations, including syncing; previously, it covered only query operations e.g., list-images etc..

Fixes

• Periodically refresh memcached addresses, to recover from DNS
  outages weaveworks/flux#1913
• Properly apply fluxctl policy --tag-all when a manifest does not
  have a namespace weaveworks/flux#1901
• Support newer git versions (>=2.21) weaveworks/flux#1884
• Avoid errors arising from ambiguous git refs
  weaveworks/flux#1875 and weaveworks/flux#1829
• Reload the API definitions periodically, to account for the API
  server being unavailable when starting weaveworks/flux#1859
• Admit <cluster> when parsing resource IDs, since it's now used to
  mark cluster-scoped resources weaveworks/flux#1851
• Better recognise and tolerate when Kubernetes API errors mean "not
  accessible" weaveworks/flux#1840 and weaveworks/flux#1832,
  and stop the Kubernetes client from needlessly logging them
  weaveworks/flux#1837

Improvements

• Use "workload" as the term for resources that specify pods to run,
  in fluxctl commands and wherever else it is needed
  weaveworks/flux#1777
• Make regex an alias for regexp in tag filters
  weaveworks/flux#1915
• Be more sparing when logging AWS detection failures; add flag for
  requiring AWS authentication; observe ECR restrictions on region and
  account regardless of AWS detection weaveworks/flux#1863
• Treat all *List (e.g., DeploymentList) resources as lists
  weaveworks/flux#1883
• Add host key for legacy VSTS (now Azure DevOps)
  weaveworks/flux#1870
• Extend namespace restriction to all operations, and change the name
  of the flag to --k8s-allow-namespace weaveworks/flux#1668
• Avoid updating images when there is no record for the current image
  weaveworks/flux#1831
• Include the file name in the error when kubeyaml fails to update a
  manifest weaveworks/flux#1815

Maintenance and documentation

• Avoid creating a cached image when host key verification fails while
  building weaveworks/flux#1908
• Separate "Get started" instructions for fluxd vs. fluxd with the
  Helm operator weaveworks/flux#1902, weaveworks/flux#1912
• Add an end-to-end smoke test to run in CI weaveworks/flux#1800
• Make git tracing report more output weaveworks/flux#1844
• Fix flaky API discovery test weaveworks/flux#1849

• Cleanup git chart source clone on HelmRelease removal weaveworks/flux#1865
• Add chartFileRef option to valuesFrom to support using a non-default values yamel from a git-sourced Helm chart weaveworks#1909

Maintenance and documentation

• Bump Helm API package and binary to v2.13.0 weaveworks/flux#1828

Flux 1.11.0

This release comes with experimental garbage collection and Git commit signing:

1. Experimental garbage collection of cluster resources. When providing the --sync-garbage-collection flag, cluster resources no longer existing in Git will be removed. Read the garbage collection documentation for further details.

2. GPG Git commit signing, when providing --git-signing-key flag. GPG keys can be imported with --git-gpg-key-import. By default Flux will import to and use the keys in ~/.gnupg. This path can be overridden by setting the GNUPGHOME environment variable.

   Commit signature verification is in the works and will be released shortly.

Fixes

• Wait for shutdown before returning from main()
  weaveworks/flux#1789
• Make fluxctl list-images adhere to namespace filter
  weaveworks/flux#1763
• Take ignore policy into account when working with automated resources
  weaveworks/flux#1749

Improvements

  weaveworks/flux#1442
  weaveworks/flux#1798
  weaveworks/flux#1806
