Kubeapps v2.6.0 (chart version 11.0.1) is a minor release that brings a brand-new "basic form" for deploying packages entirely based upon plain JSON Schema, as well as plenty of UI-related improvements. Specifically:

  • We have fully revamped the "basic form" used when deploying/upgrading apps. It now supports any JSON Schema (no more ad-hoc properties like form: true, render: slider are available), meaning that the user-friendly editor will become available for Helm, Flux and Carvel packages! Also, the Bitnami Application Catalog will eventually auto-generate the schema for every chart based on the values.yaml file, every chart there will have a schema.

  • Minor UI changes, like

    • The new Repository form now detects which plugins are currently available in the cluster.
    • The Catalog view allows filtering by plugin (i.e., all Helm charts, all Carvel packages, etc.).
    • We have replaced the text editor, from ace to monaco(the one used by VSCode), which is more performant and has better syntax highlighting.
    • The Provider feature in Flux is now supported when adding a new Flux repository.

  • We are migrating our CI system from CircleCI to GitHub Actions, to be more aligned with the stack used in other VMware projects.

  • We are revisiting the documentation, to make it more clear and more concise. In this release, we have improved the "how-to" sections. Come by the Kubeapps website and have a look!

Finally, we finally deprecated the kubeops component by moving some calls to the existing kubeapps-apis server and deleting the code.
