This release's focus was a large architectural change in order to improve performance and resource usage of kube-state-metrics drastically. Special thanks to @mxinden for his hard work on this! See the changelog of the pre-releases for more detailed information and related pull requests.

An additional change has been requested to be listed in the release notes:

• [CHANGE] Due to removal of the surrounding mechanism the ksm_resources_per_scrape and ksm_scrape_error_total metrics no longer exists.

v1.5.0-beta.0 / 2018-12-11

After a testing period of 11 days, there were no additional bugs found or features introduced.

v1.5.0-alpha.0 / 2018-11-30
