akuity/kargo v0.6.0 on GitHub

What's Changed

The Kargo team is thrilled to announce the release of v0.6.0, packed with stability improvements, enhancements, and new features. While the list of improvements and additions is extensive, we have highlighted some features you can look forward to exploring.

If you are looking for a more complete list, please do consult the full changelog

Notes on Upgrading

There is a single breaking change: the "well-known" kargo-secret-manager ClusterRole has been renamed to kargo-project-admin. However, this release includes a built-in upgrade reconciler to ensure a seamless upgrade process by automatically changing any project-level bindings referencing the old name to reference the new one.

⚠️ Please note that if you are upgrading from a version older than v0.5.0, you first need to upgrade to v0.5.x before upgrading to v0.6.0. This is due to breaking changes introduced in v0.5.0, for which no upgrade aid exists in this release.

Role Management

Kargo will now create two roles in every Project: kargo-admin and kargo-viewer.

The Kargo UI and CLI further allow creating and managing additional roles to provide scoped access to Kargo resources in a Project, which can be mapped to OIDC emails, subjects, and groups.

Warehouse Filters

In v0.5.0, Warehouse subscription filters using regular expressions were introduced. Making it possible to, for instance, subscribe to a monorepo, but trigger the production of new Freight only when changes to relevant paths are detected.

In this release, this feature has been further enhanced to support glob patterns (using a glob: prefix) and exact paths to files or directories. Additionally, the filters now apply to all commit selection strategies (and not just NewestFromBranch).

For more detailed information, please take a look at the Kargo documentation.

Kubernetes Events

Kargo will now emit Kubernetes Events for noteworthy changes. For example, when a new Promotion is created or the verification of Freight in a Stage succeeded. These events can also be viewed in the newly introduced events tab in the Project dashboard of the Kargo UI.

GitLab Merge Requests

In v0.3.0, support for opening a GitHub pull request was added to Git-based promotion mechanisms. With the help of @PhilippParis, this has now been expanded to support GitLab merge requests.

UI Improvements

Project settings and AnalysisTemplate resources can now be managed through the UI.
Variety of bug fixes and other stability improvements.

Other Notable Features

Credentials can now include descriptions, which are displayed in the UI for informational purposes. We plan to expand this feature to more Kargo resource types in the future.
kargo get commands now support a --no-headers flag, which will avoid printing the column headers when provided.
kargo promote can now wait for a Promotion to finish using --wait.
Kargo can now be configured (via the chart configuration) to sign commits with a GPG key.
Arbitrary volumes can be mounted to the optional Dex server (via the chart configuration) to support more complex connector configurations. This can for example be useful to configure Dex's google connector to get additional Google Groups information from your users, allowing you to assign permissions to members of a Google Group.

New Contributors

Last, but certainly not least, Kargo would be nothing without its community, so we'd like to take a moment to thank community members whose first contributions to the project are included in this release:
