Note: This release comes with a new config version, v4beta2. To upgrade your skaffold.yaml, use skaffold fix. If you choose not to upgrade, skaffold will auto-upgrade as best as it can.

Highlights:

• Skaffold's Cloud Run Deployer now supports log streaming! This should work out of the box, the only caveat being you will need to install 2 additional gcloud components cloud-run-proxy & log-streaming (docs incoming for this)
• various improvements/fixes/config-opts added related to kaniko support
• --keep-running-on-failure flag added to improve Skaffold UX experience when doing skaffold dev on apps when a failure is introduced (docs incoming for this). eg: skaffold dev --keep-running-on-failure
• ability to manually specify the skaffold debug runtime in skaffold.yaml for an artifact - eg:

artifacts:
- image: gcr.io/foo/bar
  runtimeType: go # <--- new

• StatefulSets now properly handled with OnDelete Strategy
• New skaffold.yaml template function cmd which allows users to use the results of commands in their skaffold.yaml . Eg:

# skaffold.yaml snippet
setValues: 
  custom: '{{cmd "bash", "-c", "xxx xx xxx"}}'
      NOTE: this ^^ is experimental and should  be used with caution.

• When migrating from v2beta29 -> v3alpha1+ Skaffold will now properly do artifactOverrides->setValueTemplates conversion for patch profiles in the schema as well (ommitted initially)
