• fmt is now a top-level qbec command. The alpha fmt version is deprecated and will be removed in a later release.
• fmt has the following enhancements:
  • no longer requires a qbec.yaml to be present to function
  • prints all errors in check mode as opposed to failing fast on the first error encountered
  • prints the filenames of all files that were modified in write mode
  • allows for explicit control on whether it should fail fast or not. The default behavior is to fail fast when
    not in check mode and continue on errors otherwise.
• a new alpha lint command can now be used to lint jsonnet and libsonnet files using jsonnet-lint. This command is alpha quality in both interface and implementation although it should work just fine on most projects. Known issues are:
  • data sources are not correctly supported
  • the linter can hang on complex jsonnet files
  • the linter can panic under certain conditions
• Releases now contain ARM64 builds for Darwin and Linux
• Allows the QPS and Burst for the kubernetes client to be configured on the command line via the k8s:client-qps and k8s:client-burst flags. Setting these values can be beneficial to large projects producing thousands of objects to improve the
  performance of diff and apply.
