We are very excited to announce Stash v0.9.0-rc.0. This release introduces v1beta1 API and a design overhaul. The new API and design enable Stash to support the use cases that were not possible before. This makes Stash more powerful, transparent, extensible and customizable. We are expecting that this new API will graduate to GA after some maturity. Check out the new architecture from here.

Significant Changes

  • Stash now has been moved from appscode Github organization to its own organization. New home for Stash is stashed organization.
  • We have split the original appscode/stash repository into multiple repositories (stashed/stash, stashed/installer, stashed/docs). This enables us to push emergency fixes to installer and docs without requiring to cut a new release.
  • Now Stash uses a more industry-standard Makefile based build process. This makes building Stash from source code simple and easy (#800).
  • We have added ARM architecture support in this release. Thanks to @carlosedp (#802).
  • We now use Docker manifest to build Stash docker images. Hence, Stash docker images are now platform aware. You don't have to worry about your platform architecture. Docker will take care of it (#802).
  • We have updated restic version from 0.8.3 to 0.9.5 (#789).
  • We have upgraded Kubernetes client to v1.14.0 (#775).
  • Now Stash uses failurePolicy: Ignore in webhooks for Kubernetes official resources. So, Stash will no longer cause any problem for creating new Kubernetes resources when it is not ready (#726).
  • As RBAC is now default in most of the Kubenetes cluster and creating RBAC resources in an RBAC disabled cluster does not cause any problem, we have removed --rbac flag. Now, Stash will always start in RBAC enabled mode (#761).
  • We have moved to go mod from glide for dependency management (#775).
  • We have changed Stash package path to stash.appscode.dev/stash (#776).

Upgrading from 0.8.3

If you are upgrading Stash from 0.8.3 to this version, pay attention to the following things:

What will work:

  • Exiting scheduled backup will continue to work.
  • Scheduling new backup using Restic crd will work.
  • Restoring the already backed up data using Recovery crd will work.

What will not work:

  • Restoring the data that was backed up using old API (Restic) with the new API (RestoreSession) will not work.
  • Restoring the data that was backed up using new API (BackupConfiguration) with the old API (Recovery) will not work.
  • Using new API (BackupConfiguration ) to backup into already existing Repository will not work. Stash will upload all targeted data again into the backend. Old snapshots will not be usable any more.
  • Old Grafana dashboard will not work with new metrics.
