0.26.0

on GitHub

✨ Enhancements:

• Add brand new Map view of a cluster (beta)
  • Allows users to view a graph representation of the cluster, at the desired zoom level
  • Errors are indicated in the map view which allows for a quick identification of resources needing attention
  • Users can select different resources for a more detailed and relational view
  • Allows searching and filtering cluster resources by different criteria
  • Allows to open resource details in the same view, without having to navigate to a new page
• Make the app snappier by adding a new caching layer for requests as
  this avoids requesting the same data multiple times
• Allow doing common actions (edit, view, remove) directly in resource list's rows to avoid
  having to go into the details view to perform them (thanks to @farodin91 )
• Unify general, cluster, and plugin settings under the same section, preventing the confusion of having
  different and separate settings views
• Move Custom Resources sidebar item to the top level, to highlight this section
• Update Headlamp logo to the new one
• Helm: Add change ClusterRole option + docs (thanks to @SegFault02 )
• Helm: Support deploying additional manifests inline (thanks to @guydomb )
• Use translated labels for workload charts' titles (also improves readability even in English)
• Add a way to copy the error when the app shows the error (Uh-Oh) view
• Add CLI option to list plugins
• Big improvements to the YAML editor and the terminal thanks to the Monaco and xterm teams
• Prevent the entire app from getting to the error state if the error is in the main view. This means the user may still
  be able to navigate to a different view without having to go to the home view
• Add Custom Resources instances view (thanks to @Guilamb ). This allows to look for CR instances in the user's
  allowed namespaces, whereas before the user had to go through each CR Definition and required access to their
  namespaces

🧩 Shipped plugins

• Update shipped plugin app-catalog 0.3.1 (desktop only)
  • The YAML in the install dialog is updated to reflect the Helm chart version, displaying the latest
    version by default and showing the version number in the dialog for clarity
  • The install dialog now sets default values, including the namespace to "default," the version to
    the latest available, and the description to "[app name] deployment
• Update shipped plugin plugin-catalog 0.1.1 (desktop only)
  • Prompt user to reload the app after installing/uninstalling a plugin (so the settings show up).
    This makes sure the plugin is activated/deactivated
• Update shipped plugin prometheus 0.2.2
  • Add settings for configuring Prometheus, allowing the users to configure the service address,
    timespan, and to enable/disable metrics for each cluster (under Settings > Plugins > prometheus)
