* NOTE *

This version of Sonobuoy was impacted by #1388 and as a result we decided to push a new point release. Users interested in certified-conformance mode should use a newer version and/or see here for more details.

Sonobuoy v0.53.0

This release includes numerous small improvements and two experimental features which we expect to become default behavior in the future: better progress reporting when --wait is used and plugin management.

Plugin Management (9539f16)

All users can take advantage of new commands to help manage your plugins. This helps keep track of plugins so that you can save them from URLs/files and invoke them more easily from any other directory. See sonobuoy plugins for commands to install, uninstall, list, and show plugins.

In the future, Sonobuoy will look for installed plugins before looking in the present working directory. If you would like to enable this behavior now, set the environment variable SONOBUOY_ALL_FEATURES=true or SONOBUOY_PLUGIN_INSTALLATION=true.

Progress Messages (eeff4bf)

Currently, when you invoke sonobuoy run --wait or sonobuoy delete --wait the default --output-mode is silent. The only alternative, until now, has been a spinner to ensure CI and end-users don't think Sonobuoy has frozen.

However, we often have more information that would be useful for a user to know about the progress made. As a result, we've added a new option --wait-output=progress which will output more valuable information.

This may become the default in the future but to enable it now you can either specify it manually with --wait-output=progress or with SONOBUOY_ALL_FEATURES=true.

Minor Changes

Sonobuoy Retrieve (8cf38a5)

Adds a new flag --filename -f to specify the exact name of the tarball once it has been downloaded. This may ease the burden when writing scripts.

Custom Log Levels (69cdfc5)

We've added a --level flag for custom log levels so you can get more/less output based on your needs.

New Fields For Plugin Definitions

Added source-url and description fields so that a plugin can be more self-documenting. This will be of great use when plugins can be installed/organized more easily.

ImagePullPolicy Change (60adfff)

If you specify the --image-pull-policy flag, it will now be applied to all plugins, not just the built in e2e and systemd-logs plugins. The reasoning is that we would like to make custom plugins and built-in plugins have as much parity as possible.
