Announcing Radius v0.39.0

Today we're happy to announce the release of Radius v0.39.0. Check out the highlights below, along with the full changelog for more details.

We would like to extend our thanks to all the new and existing contributors who helped make this release possible!

Highlights

Support for Dapr Configuration Building Block

A new Applications.Dapr/configurationStores resource type is now available to define and deploy the Dapr Configuration building block in Radius. The Dapr Configuration building block allows for dynamic configuration updates, including feature flag management, and is a great addition to the Dapr integration in Radius. To learn more, go to the Dapr Configuration Store resource schema in the Radius documentation. Thanks to community contributor @SoTrx for adding this functionality.

In-memory data store for testing and development

Radius has added an implementation for an in-memory version of the data store interface, which may be used for testing and development purposes, when contributing to Radius. This helps to speed up and simplify the existing ETC.d and mocking mechanisms that are frequently used today in tests.

Breaking changes

None.
