Kubeapps v2.4.0 (chart version 7.4.0) is a new feature release that includes an important revamp of the Kubeapps backend. Now, we are closer to support multiple package formats (like Helm, Helm using Fluxv2 or Carvel Packages) in the future.
The new backend is enabled by default since v2.3.4, but it is in this v2.4.0 release that we have performed several changes in the dashboard to make it use the new service.
Right now, there are no special changes or new visible features: in this release we expect every feature to continue working as before.
In the upcoming releases, we will continue improving our Kubeapps APIs service, adding new operations and plugins, so stay tuned!
If you find something wrong or any unexpected behavior, please do open an issue so that we can fix it asap :)
Here is a demo video highlighting the new cool features that this pluggable API service will bring into Kubeapps:
