This is a massive release that updates ktop in several major ways. First, this release introduces Prometheus as a (default) metrics source, providing richer metrics and better accuracy when available. Second, the UI has been significantly enhanced with new detail views, improved navigation, and polished visualizations to make ktop a tool you can use daily to watch over your Kubernetes clusters.
