Note: This release comes with a new config version, v4beta4. 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 verify functionality fixed to properly support environment variables and has updated support allowing users to now runs verify tests as Kubernetes Jobs (in additional to the previously supported local container option)
• When using the tolerateFailuresUntilDeadline or --tolerate-failures-until-deadline flag, now Skaffold will also tolerate specific cluster connection issues until deadline (in additonal to the previous supported k8s status issues).

New Features and Additions:

• feat: add 'skaffold inspect jobManifestPath' and 'skaffold transform-schema jobManifestPath' commands #8575
• feat: add k8s Job support to verify and status check #8415
• feat: Whitelist strimzi.io CRDs #8491

Fixes:

• fix: add upgrade logic to inject a kubectl deployer when an old kustomize deployer is detected #8457
• fix: can't use ctrl-c to terminate building with kaniko at uploading build context stage #8516
• fix: correctly rewrite /deploy/kubectl/manifests in patch upgrades #8585
• fix: improve verify command s.t. os envs not passed through to container envs and instead add a flag for this purpose #8557
• fix: make it so tolerateFailuresUntilDeadline also handles kubectl failures (vs. just parsing kubectl resource status values). #8549
