🚀 Keep Your Scaffold Updated

Automate updates with kubebuilder edit --plugins="autoupdate.kubebuilder.io/v1-alpha" or run them manually with kubebuilder alpha update. If your PROJECT file does not include cliVersion, you may need a one-time manual upgrade, and kubebuilder alpha generate can fully re-scaffold the project in one step. After that, updates work seamlessly.

🐛 Bug fixes

• (go/v4;deploy-image/v1-alpha): Remove omitempty from nested struct JSON tags in API scaffolds. #​5212
• (go/v4): Fix flaky metrics e2e tests when webhooks are scaffolded. #​5204
• (go/v4): Fix Go module download failure caused by invalid filename and retract v4.10.0. (#​5213, #​5216)

⚠️ Warnings

Deprecation Notice: helm/v1-alpha → helm/v2-alpha

✨ The new helm/v2-alpha plugin replaces the deprecated helm/v1-alpha and brings major improvements in flexibility and maintainability, championing changes driven by community feedback.

Chart values are now better exposed, enabling easier customization and addressing long-standing issues by consuming the kustomize-generated bundle from make build-installer instead of relying on fixed templates for chart generation.
Try it out with: kubebuilder edit --plugins=helm/v2-alpha. (More info)
