v0.5.0¶
Released: 13/08/2019
This release consists of 54 noteworthy PRs from 12 contributors. We had 14 contributions from 8 external contributors, thanks!
The main themes of this release has been:
Persistent Storage: Block Device support added as the first external volume type
Improved API: We’re continuously improving the API; this release contains
ignite.weave.works/v1alpha2
(still backwards-compatible withv1alpha1
)Read-write GitOps: In GitOps mode, Ignite now also pushes the actual state in
.status
back to the repoRefactoring towards a client-server model: We’re now shipping
ignited
that holds the reconciling GitOps and Manifest Directory modesMulti-platform: We’re now shipping ARM 64-bit binaries that you can use on e.g. Packet (and eventually, Raspberry Pi 4!)
Also, our documentation is now available at https://ignite.readthedocs.org. Check that site out whenever you need some information, or open an issue :)
