Changes

Breaking Changes

• In v0.5.0, we are introducing a new api version for both ExternalSecrets, SecretStores and ClusterSecretStore resources. There is a breaking change when updating ExternalSecrets versions regarding dataFrom. For more information, please see this guide
• v1alpha1 is deprecated and will be removed once the CRDs are promoted to GA.

Note: If you are deploying external-secrets into a GKE cluster, you might need to add a firewall rule allowing traffic to port 9443 (see https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/private-clusters#add_firewall_rules)
