v0.15.0

April 27 2024

Re-written in Golang!

Breaking Changes

• The syntax of the config file is different; now using camelCase with some small changes in renaming or removing keys. Logs should warn you if you're using older terminology.

Enhancements

• Added the ability to run arbitrary commands (postCommands) after rendering the kustomization.yaml file.
• Increased speed.
• Easier to install than with Python. A smaller file as well.
• Removed some unneeded configuration keys.

Housekeeping

• Changed license to Apache 2.0 since this is a complete rewrite.
• Moved the Python Changelog to its own file.
• Added a diagram to show an example flow, at least for how I use helmizer.
• Added the use of helmfile.yaml in some examples.

Bugfixes

Enhancements

• Added --no-sort-keys CLI flag to disable key sorting of all keys output kustomization.yaml on the CLI.

Housekeeping

• Added READMEs to example folders that didn't have them, and fixed other example READMEs.
• Bumped to latest versions in requirements.txt for no particular reason.
• Updated each relevant line with type hinting for future experimentation.

v0.9.1
